Chapter 377: The Eve of the Return Journey (9)
The Lin family, who was sitting on the soft couch, glanced at Gu Yutang and saw that she had a very good relationship with the two girls of the Li family, so he gave her a few commands.
"Sister Tang, since these two girls from the Li family are close to you, you can take them to the yard next door to play! I still have something to discuss with Mrs. Li. ”
Gu Yutang glanced at the Lin family, and then at the eldest wife of the Li family who was sitting next to the Lin family, knowing that her grandmother and the eldest lady of the Li family had something to discuss separately, she was not good enough to continue to stay in the house, so she took the two girls of the Li family and withdrew together.
After seeing Gu Yutang go out, the Lin family instructed Chunxia to stay outside the door of the house and not let anyone in. Seeing that the maid who was waiting in the house was gone, the eldest lady of the Li family put her mind at ease and talked to the Lin family about the matter.
"Old Madam Lin, when I came over just now, I heard the little maid who led the way say that when I was in the hall, Sun Jiaoyu's wife Zheng said that you and the old lady of the Zheng family knew each other, and you also said that Sun Jiaoyu's wife is very similar to one of your old people."
Listening to the eldest wife of the Li family talking about this, the Lin family couldn't help but be a little surprised, it hadn't been long since this matter happened, and the eldest lady of the Li family in front of her knew these things from the mouth of the little maid who was waiting in the house, and it seemed that the mouth of the maid in the second room was still not very strict.
If this matter is in the long house, she will never allow those girls who chew the root of the master's tongue behind her back to stay in the house, she will definitely call the tooth woman into the house, sell all those maids and women, and then change to a new one.
"Mrs. Li, the girl in the house always loves to chew the root of her tongue, but she bothers you, but these things are true and false, if Mrs. Li wants to believe it, the old body can't stop it."
Lin didn't want to discuss these things with others anymore, so he simply replied.
Since the Lin family said so, if the eldest lady of the Li family is no longer interesting, I am afraid that the Lin family will also call the maid and drive out the eldest wife of the Li family beside her.
At this time, the Lin family suddenly asked the eldest wife of the Li family: "The eldest wife, I don't know if the two children in your family are married?" If you are not married, will someone come to your door to ask for a marriage?"
Lin specially avoided Fang Cai's questions, but she didn't want to talk any more, she believed that the eldest lady of the Li family in front of her would definitely understand what she meant.
Hearing what the Lin family said, the eldest lady of the Li family immediately understood what the Lin family meant, took the tea cup handed over by the maid, drank half a sip gently, and then replied.
"Mrs. Lin, the two girls in my family have already made a marriage with others, the eldest girl of my family promised the third son of the Saiyang Huang family, and the second girl of my family promised the fifth son of the fourth room of the Jinping Fan family.
I have been friends with the eldest lady of the Huang family in Saiyang for many years, when I was pregnant with the eldest girl of our family, I engaged with the eldest wife of the Huang family who was pregnant with the second son of the Huang family at that time, but the second son of the Huang family has promised the girl of the Liu family, and I had to say the third son of the Huang family. ”
The eldest wife of the Li family has said that she has clearly explained the marriage of the two girls of the Li family to the Lin family.
"The Huang family in Saiyang is a good family, the eldest wife of their family is still a girl from the Jinping Liu family, the eldest wife of the Huang family is a capable person, but she takes care of the entire Huang family in an orderly manner, without the slightest mistake."
Lin took the hand of the eldest wife of the Li family beside him and introduced the Huang family in Saiyang.
"Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Huang is indeed a capable person, when Mrs. Huang Family started, Mrs. Huang Family disliked Mrs. Huang Family's age, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to give birth, so I tried to learn Mrs. Huang Family many times in the house.
Fortunately, at that time, the eldest wife of the Huang family was already pregnant with the eldest son of the Huang family, and the old lady of the Huang family looked at the eldest lady of the Huang family differently. ”
What Mrs. Li knows, presumably the Lin family also knows, so Mrs. Li didn't continue.
"What mother-in-law didn't start as a daughter-in-law, and where did she become a mother-in-law when she was born? The reason why the old lady of the Huang family wants to fight the wife of the Huang family many times is actually for the good of the eldest lady of the Huang family in her heart. ”
When Lin spoke, he glanced at the eldest lady of the Li family beside him.
At this time, there was a little maid wearing a light green bikini who hurriedly walked in from outside the house, and after saluting the Lin family, she took a few breaths before slowly replying.
"Old Madam Lin, Old Madam wants to invite you over. The front yard had already prepared a banquet, and the old lady asked the slave to come over, and invited Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lin to go to the front yard for a banquet together. ”
"Did your old lady in the past? Who else eats in the front yard?"
Lin glanced at the little maid in front of her, and her face was a little raw, so she couldn't remember for a while, whether the maid in front of her was the little maid waiting in the front yard or the little maid serving in Old Madam Feng's house.
So she still wanted to ask who was sitting in the front yard.
Asked by the Lin family, the little maid thought for a moment before replying: "Old lady Lin, the old lady of my family has passed, and there are also the wives of the Sun Jiaoyu family and the wives of the Chen County Ling family. The old lady said that it was up to the old lady Lin and the eldest lady of the Li family. ”
Seeing that the maid said this, Old Madam Feng had already named her and Mrs. Lin and sent her and Old Madam Lin not to go, if they didn't go over, it would be because they didn't give Old Madam Feng face.
After thinking about it again, Mrs. Li still turned her head to the Lin family and carefully persuaded her.
"Old Madam Lin, since Old Madam Feng has already sent a maid to invite her, let's go to the front yard to have a look! You haven't had dinner yet, so let's go to the front yard and have some dinner! ”
The Lin family saw that the eldest lady of the Li family said so, if she didn't get up and rush to the front yard to play, then she didn't give Old Madam Feng face.
In Ruiyue Courtyard here, Aunt Hong is still leaning crookedly on her soft couch, and the little maid who is waiting beside her is holding a plate of grapes in her hand, and is helping Aunt Hong peel the grapes.
"Auntie, I heard from the mother-in-law who served in the big kitchen, the old lady has made a post to many families today, and the people who came to the house to meet Mrs. Lin today include the wife of the county magistrate, Luo, and the wife of the Sun Jiaoyu, Zheng, and the eldest lady of the Li family in Cuizhu Lane, and now they are all in the front yard, accompanying the old lady and Mrs. Lin to eat the banquet."
"I don't know what kind of medicine the old lady bought in the gourd? I heard that Mrs. Sun Jiaoyu is surnamed Zheng, and the old lady of the Zheng family originally had a house opposite the Lin family in Zhengding, and she and Mrs. Lin have known each other since childhood.
Inviting Sun's wife back, didn't it touch Mrs. Lin's moldy head? What is the old lady trying to do by doing this?"
Aunt Hong didn't know what Mrs. Feng was doing when she invited the wife of the Sun Jiaoyu family back, so she asked the maid who was waiting beside her.
"Madam, the slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid listened to the mother-in-law who was waiting in the back room, and when the wife of the Sun Jiaoyu family said that her grandfather was surnamed Zheng, Mrs. Lin's face changed slightly, but the Mrs. Sun Jiaoyu continued to ask Mrs. Lin as if she couldn't see it."
That maid is the maid that Aunt Hong has placed in the big kitchen to serve, and she has been helping her inquire about every move in the house.
The cooks in the big kitchen, because they are doing important errands, so when they usually do things, they like to chew the root of the master's tongue behind their backs. Put the maid in the big kitchen and ask about every move in the house, those news.
It's not the most accurate news, but it's also the most truthful news.
Since the cook and wife who served in the big kitchen said so that what happened in the back room was true, it must be true.
Listening to the maid who was waiting beside her, Aunt Hong was still not very relieved. After all, when the news spread to a hundred people, the news might have turned sour, and many people added fuel to it. It's something that didn't happen, but it says that it happened.
Aunt Hong picked up the decoction in her hand, and when she was about to send the decoction into her mouth, she asked the maid who was waiting beside her.
"Have you called someone to go to the back room to inquire, what is the description of the maid who is waiting over there? Is it like that from the big kitchen?"
"Madam, where do the slaves dare to go to the back cover room to inquire about the news, the maids and women who serve there are all born to the family, and they have all served by the old lady's side for many years, if I go to inquire about the news, those maids and maids will not take the broom out and drive me out."
The maid shook her head and replied to Aunt Hong.
The maids and wives who are waiting in the back room are all carefully selected by Mrs. Feng to serve, either they are the children of the family who have been raised in the house for more than ten years, or they are bought by Mrs. Feng from the tooth shop, and they have been serving by her side for many years, so they can be regarded as the old people in the house.
If you call a maid and go to inquire about the news casually, no matter how much money you make, you will not be able to ask for the news.
The lives of their family are in the hands of Mrs. Feng, if they leak any important news, their maids and daughters-in-law will not only lose themselves, but also affect their families.
Therefore, the maid who waits in the back room is the tightest, and she can't get any news.
Listening to the maid say it again, Aunt Hong sighed several times, and finally drank the bowl of brown decoction in her hand in one go.
"That's it, since the old lady deliberately calculated the old lady Lin, I won't interfere in it. If I intervene in again, I'm afraid that some people will be watching from the sidelines, and I will be unhappy?"
The maid didn't understand what Aunt Hong meant for a while, so she had the courage to ask.
"The meaning of Madame's words, why don't the slaves and maids understand that the people in the lady's mouth are referring to the old lady or the third girl?"
