Chapter 313: The Defeat of the Qi Clan (1)
The little maid got Lin's instructions, and immediately invited the Qi family, who was waiting outside the corridor, in.
Because the Qi family came to meet Mrs. Lin, the Qi family changed into a light blue Hangzhou silk jacket, and put on a white fox fur coat outside, and a very simple round bun, and three or four golden hairpins on the hairpin, and the top of the golden hairpin was also embedded with a few pearls the size of soybeans, and under the reflection of the sunlight outside, those pearls burst out with extremely shining white light.
Lin only felt that the white light was dazzling, so he ordered the maid guarding outside to put down the bamboo curtain and block the sunlight outside.
Lin waved his hand, and the little maid who was already interested in moving the embroidery stool over and placing it next to Lin's soft couch, and also put a brocade cushion embroidered with water lotus on it.
After Qi blessed the Lin family, he sat on the embroidered stool after being served by the maid, and took the Biluochun handed by the maid, Qi did not drink it in a hurry, but placed it on the small table at his feet, and looked at the Lin family.
"Aunt Lin, Xiao Qi came here this time to discuss with my aunt about the new wife. Presumably a few days ago, my aunt had invited Aunt Lin to go, and when she talked about the matter of recruiting a new wife for the sixth master, my aunt picked the second girl Feng of her family, but the sixth master refused, so my aunt asked me to ask Aunt Lin for a way. ”
The Lin family did not answer in a hurry, but quietly looked at the Qi family in front of him, and said secretly in his heart: As the so-called "Three Treasure Palace" is the so-called "Three Treasure Palace" for nothing, the Qi family came here this time, I'm afraid it's not just for this matter, right?
If she came here just for this matter, she should have asked Feng Lao'an what he meant, instead of asking her for a way.
After all, it was Feng Lao'an who wanted Gu Lihua to marry a new wife, if Gu Lihua refused, it was also a matter for their mother and son, and it had nothing to do with others.
Qi Shi rashly came to tell her this, I am afraid that Qi Shi already has his own idea in his heart, but he just wants to ask himself and say her method through his own mouth, right?
Lin didn't dare to determine what he was thinking, smiled at Qi and said.
"Qi girl, your aunt has no way, what can I, an old woman who doesn't care about, do? Besides, if Liulang insists on not marrying the second girl of the Feng family into the mansion, is it possible that we should let the second girl of the Feng family rush to the sedan chair and send it to the mansion, forcing Liulang to marry her?"
The Qi clan didn't listen to the Lin clan's words, and went out with a faint smile.
"Aunt Lin, my aunt said, you are the most capable person, she is really helpless, and she is anxious again, so she sent me over to ask Aunt Lin about her method. Aunt Lin wants to think about our second room, how to let the sixth master marry the second girl of the Feng family into the mansion! ”
For the sake of their second room? Marry the second girl of the Feng family into the house?
I don't know if this Qi family really doesn't know or not, the second girl of the Feng family is a person who can't have children, and marrying her into the house did not help the second room, but also dragged down the heirs of the second room.
The heirs of the second room are already thin, and if you marry a girl who can't have children, isn't this going to make the second room completely wither?
The reason why Feng Lao'an hasn't let the second girl of the Feng family look at each other now is that he still cares about her infertile body in his heart.
Although the second girl of the Feng family and Feng Lao'an are aunts and nieces, no matter how close the relatives are, no one wants to marry a woman who can't give birth to a child, right?
Lin didn't look at the Qi family's face with the appearance that the emperor was not in a hurry, and the eunuch was in a hurry, but picked up a cup of tea placed on the high table next to him, drank it lightly, and then said.
"Qi girl, your aunt has no way, what can I do? And these things are the private affairs of the second room, and the old lady of my long room has intervened too many times, but I am afraid that your old lady will be unhappy when she hears it, right?"
Hearing what the Lin family said, the Qi family knew that the Lin family was definitely unwilling to take care of this idle matter, so in order to prevent each other from being separated from each other due to the relationship between the two rooms and the long room, the Qi family hurriedly replied.
"Aunt Lin, what are you talking about? Although the second room of the Gu family has been separated from the long house for many years, the relationship between our two families is still good!
did not cause the two families to be separated because of the separation of the family many years ago. Besides, my aunt often said that the relationship with Aunt Lin was the best, and Aunt Lin was reluctant to interfere in it, so who should Xiao Qi and Aunt ask to come? Qi Shi played the round field and held the long room at the same time.
Hearing Qi say this, Lin didn't know what to say on the spot. Qi said in his words that Feng Laoan had the best relationship with him, and she was unwilling to intervene in this matter, who should Feng Laoan and her beg? These words are really pitiful and sympathetic.
In this way, this Qi is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
This time, I wanted to pull her into the water, but she had been in the back house for so many years, could she be pulled into the water by a few words from the Qi family?
Lin still didn't speak, behaved lightly, picked up the Biluochun on the top of the high table, lifted the tea lid of the celadon painted colored plum, and gently blew the floating color on the tea.
The Lin family didn't speak, and the Qi family had no choice, so they could only continue to sit on the embroidery stool and look at the Lin family in front of them.
After a while, the Qi family couldn't hold it back, so he said: "Aunt Lin, you old man can't stand by and watch, you have to help us!" Aunt Hong has already made my aunt so angry that she has fallen ill several times, and my aunt can't even get up from the bed today, and she really can't help it, so she ordered me to come over and discuss with Aunt Lin. ”
Seeing Qi say this, Lin said: "Since you keep saying that your aunt called you to discuss with me, then I will call a maid to ask your aunt if she meant?"
Qi girl, it's not that the old woman doesn't believe you, it's just that the old woman is the old lady of the long room after all, if she intervenes in the private affairs of the second room several times, if it is passed out, how will others think of our long room?"
As soon as the words fell, the Lin family summoned the little maid who was waiting beside him, and was about to call the little maid to go over to the back room and ask Feng Lao'an what he meant.
Before the Lin family could give instructions to the little maid, the Qi clan was a little panicked, for fear that Old Madam Lin really sent the little maid to the back room and asked Feng Lao'an about those things.
Seeing that the Lin family was about to tell the little maid something, the Qi family said.
"Aunt Lin, Xiao Qi will speak up with you! This matter is indeed Xiao Qi's idea alone, Xiao Qi did not discuss it with his aunt in advance, Xiao Qi saw that his aunt couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Aunt Lin to come here, and begged Aunt Lin to help us get an idea. ”
Sure enough, as the Lin family guessed in his heart, this matter was Qi's own idea, not his second brother and sister's idea.
With her understanding of Feng Lao'an, if she really told Gu Lihua that she wanted him to marry the second girl of the Feng family and enter the mansion, I was afraid that even if Gu Lihua refused in his heart, for the sake of Feng Lao'an, he would agree hard.
But she didn't hear about it, which means that Feng Laoan hasn't told Gu Lihua about it.
These things are just rumors behind Qi's shouting.
If it weren't for the fact that the Qi family had passed on so much behind his back, why didn't the people who were serving in Feng Lao'an's house know about it in advance, and the Qi family would have known about it in advance, and asked her to come to her and ask her to help with the idea?
As soon as the Lin family thought that these things were all transmitted by the Qi family, the anger in his heart surged up all of a sudden, but after all, the Qi family was surnamed Qi, not Gu.
Even if she suppressed the Qi family with the identity of an elder and reprimanded a few words, if she didn't listen to persuasion, she couldn't say anything more.
No matter what, Lin still said: "Qi girl, Qi girl, what do you want me to say about you?" These days of temporary living in the second room, not to mention how others treat you, but your aunt, at least has you in her heart.
Look at what you did yourself, your aunt just mentioned that she wanted Liulang to marry the second girl of the Feng family, and you spread this matter to the whole house, what did you think in your heart? Now I am afraid that your aunt should not do this, so she came to me to negotiate under the pretext, but in fact, she wants me to make up her mind, and your aunt will not be able to say anything. ”
Qi didn't expect that Lin would guess that these things were rumored by her calling the little maid in the mansion.
Feng Lao'an really hasn't made up his mind in his heart, he is in a vacillation, Gu Lihua intends to set up Aunt Hong as the eldest wife of the family, but she and Aunt Hong have never been compatible, if Aunt Hong is the housekeeper's wife, wouldn't she be the first to take her under the knife?
Although there are Feng Lao'an people protecting her, Aunt Hong doesn't dare to do anything to her for the time being, but she doesn't want others to press on her, especially a woman like Aunt Hong who has a low background and relies on Gu Lihua's favor to get the status of the head of the family.
So she wanted to use those rumors in the mansion to force Feng Lao'an to make up his mind about these things earlier.
Qi didn't want to admit this in his heart, raised his eyes to look at the Lin family in front of him, and replied coldly.
"Aunt Lin, where did you come from with such words? What evidence do you have to prove that I let people spread the first things in the house? I am wholeheartedly for the good of my aunt and the good of the Gu family, how can I let people spread rumors that are not conducive to my aunt and the Gu family? ”
Lin knew that the Qi family didn't want to admit it, but she already had the evidence, even if the Qi family refused to admit it, when the evidence was taken out and placed in front of her, could she still not let it go?
Lin glanced at the maid who was waiting in the house, and the maid got Lin's signal, and pushed the door out in front of the rest of the maids in the house.
"Qi girl, you are still young. You can't tell such a big lie for such a trivial matter. Lin glanced at Qi who was sitting in front of him, and continued.
"A few days ago, when you wanted to invite the housekeeper of the big kitchen to have a drink, there was a maid in the house. What you said and did that night, the housekeeper still remembers it today, and if you can't remember, I will call the maid now and invite the woman to come over, and the two of you will confront each other face to face. ”
As soon as Lin's words came out, Qi was speechless on the spot.
She didn't expect that Qi's hand could be stretched so long into the big kitchen.
Indeed, that night, she used the opportunity to invite the big kitchen steward to have a drink, and said something to the steward, which was related to Gu Lihua's marriage to a new wife. She asked the maids to pass it down that Feng Lao'an intended to let the master marry the second girl of the Feng family, but the master was afraid that it was the second girl of the Feng family, so he refused to accept Feng Lao'an on the spot.
But the maids who served in the big kitchen that night were all sent away by her, could it be that there were still one or two fish that slipped through the net?
But even the housekeeper of the big kitchen was bought by the Lin family, so what kind of fish is there to talk about?
Qi still didn't want to admit this matter in his heart, and said bluntly.
"Aunt Lin, if someone wants to frame me, it's not too much to think about it. That night, I did invite the housekeeper of the big kitchen to have a drink, but I wanted to thank her for the food she had made for Brother Tiger, and as for the side, I didn't tell her.
Since I can invite the housekeeper of the big kitchen to drink, others can also invite her to drink. If she accidentally confuses me with others, she will say what others say as if I said it. I gave birth to a thousand mouths and ten thousand mouths, and I can't tell why. ”
Looking at the Qi clan who said in front of him with a clever tongue like a spring and a lotus tongue, the anger in Lin's heart was a little stronger.
Seeing that she looked dead and denied her account, did she force her to hand over the housekeeper in the big kitchen and the maid who was waiting in the house that day to Feng Laoanren, let Feng Laoanren listen, and let her see what kind of person her niece was?
Thinking like this, Lin said, "Qi girl, since you keep saying that someone deliberately framed you, do you have any evidence?" If there was no evidence, I called the maid and sent the housekeeper of the big kitchen and the maid on duty that night to the back room, and Feng Lao'an personally tried it, and everything was clear. ”
After that, Lin gave a few orders to the maid standing beside him, and the maid got Lin's instructions, took the mother-in-law in the house, and prepared to go to the firewood room to pick up people.
Bringing people to Feng Lao'an, as for how they want to defend themselves and what they want to say, it is their own business, and they have nothing to do with the Lin family.
Maybe the housekeeper of the big kitchen will be recruited in three or two sentences, and she can also tell the story of Qi's self-sufficiency in the big kitchen.
Seeing that after the Lin family ordered those maids to go out, the Qi family panicked all of a sudden, looked at a loss, and hurriedly persuaded.
"Aunt Lin, it's all Xiao Qi's fault. Xiao Qi knows that he is wrong, Xiao Qi should not contradict your old man, please call those maids and mothers-in-law back, and don't bring the housekeeper of the big kitchen to your aunt. If my aunt knew that these things were all done by Xiao Qi behind her back, I was afraid that Xiao Qi would have no place in this Gu Mansion. ”
Lin was about to reply, and Mama Liang on the side walked out and said to the Qi family.
"It's late, Mrs. Qi. If you could have acknowledged your mistakes early, why did you get into such a mess today? If the housekeeper of the big kitchen shakes out your past in front of Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Feng blames it, you have a lot, don't complain that it was our old lady who brought people to Mrs. Feng. ”
Seeing that Qi was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, Lin waved his hand to Mama Liang and said, "Chunping, send off!" Where did she come from, send her back, and don't let her stay here any longer, lest she dirty us. ”
Mama Liang got Lin's orders, and without slacking off, she sent Qi out.
Out of the hall, Qi had already cried into tears, and the little maid who was waiting beside her had to hold her, but she was afraid of hitting the muzzle of the gun, so no one dared to come forward to persuade her.
In the end, the maid who was serving Qi couldn't stand it anymore, so she dared to persuade a few words, "Madam, keep your eyes carefully." Don't cry, if Old Madam Feng sees you like this, she should feel sorry for you again. ”
Qi didn't listen to the girl's persuasion, but looked at her coldly, still crying.
"You know what? Since Mrs. Lin ordered the maid to bring those people to the old lady, do you think I can still be alone? You don't know how much money I've swallowed in the big kitchen over the years?"
Hearing Qi say this, the little maid who had the courage to persuade Qi didn't dare to continue persuading.
Qi cried all the way to the back room.
In the east chamber, Gu Yutang also got the news that the Lin family called someone to hand it over, and the little maid handed it over and said that the meaningless trivial things in the second room were all made by the Qi family behind their backs.
Now that the Lin family has raised those maids in front of Feng Laoanren, he is afraid that after Feng Lao'an listens to it, he will severely punish the Qi family, and when the Qi family bites it, it may hurt Gu Yutang.
The Lin family called someone to hand over the news, which was to remind Gu Yutang to beware of the Qi family.
