167 The Battle of the Keys

He didn't come back for a long time, and Lin An didn't know what had happened to the Lin family during this time. Without her, Dai Xiaoyu and Shen Qianlu didn't know what to do. But with Lin Feiyu here, there will be nothing wrong with Baozi. He, the sixth uncle, still does a very competent job in taking care of the buns.

It's just that it's a few days later than the time she promised to go back, and when she's not in the house, with Dai Xiaoyu's temperament, I'm afraid she won't miss such an opportunity in vain.

Lin An's guess was right, it was rare that she was not in the house, and Dai Xiaoyu naturally couldn't give up. She had hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to stumble on the little rabbit, but who knew that the old lady suddenly stepped in and took him into the yard.

Dai Xiaoyu thought that this opportunity would run away in vain, who would have thought that his son still had a little bit of talent, and sent a big news to the door, of course Dai Xiaoyu couldn't let it go easily.

Also can't hold back and wants to make a move is Shen Qianlu, she and Dai Xiaoyu have been fighting in the Lin family for so many years, every time she has the upper hand, it is obvious that Dai Xiaoyu's little goblin made a mistake is already obvious, but she begged for a favor in front of the master, and the master's mind revolved around her.

But there is a good saying, it's not that the time has not come, but no, this time he didn't do anything. Dai Xiaoyu brought himself a crime of negligence, although he almost caused Brother Xuan'er to have an accident, but he put it to the old lady to make a fuss, and finally let her give up the key to the house, and it was not in vain that his efforts during this period of time were in vain.

Of course, Shen Qianlu could see that the old man was merciful to the little goblin, otherwise he wouldn't have handed over the key to the old lady, or he just wanted to wait for the limelight to pass, and find some reason to return the key to the little goblin.

It was absolutely impossible for Shen Qianlu to see this kind of thing happen, so before that, she had to get the key back safely.

Fortunately, his daughter-in-law, although there has been no movement in her stomach, she still has a little brain, taking advantage of this period of time, Hongwen's new official took office more of a matter of entertainment, and there are more accounts in this house, the old lady had some means when she was young, but now that she is old, the big things in the house are okay, these little things have long been out of the mind to deal with, Shen Qianlu mentioned it in front of the old lady, and naturally this key should be taught.

No, in the small hall of the Lin family, Lin Baisheng had just returned to the Lin family, Shen Qianlu changed into civilian clothes for him, and the thoughts in his heart were brought out.

Lin Baisheng was naturally reluctant in his heart, and he wanted to shirk the old lady left and right, but the person who went there talked back and forth after a while.

Mama Gu entered the small hall, bowed to Lin Baisheng and Shen Qianlu, and then opened her mouth, "Master, the old lady said that she can't take care of so many trivial matters when she is old, and it is inconvenient for this key to be left with her. ”

As Gu Mama spoke, she fell aside, and Shen Qianlu listened and hurriedly stepped forward. At this time, he didn't have the usual posture of the master mother, but pinched Lin Baisheng's shoulder, "Master, you have listened to my mother's words, my mother is old, how can I bother her with the trivial things in this house every day, if I say it, I must say that I, the daughter-in-law, am not, I can't even manage my family, and I will annoy my mother." Now, since my mother doesn't want to take care of these trivial matters, she might as well give me the key, and I am willing to share it for my mother. ”

"You're thinking about the key to the house every day, can I still not understand?" Shen Qianlu didn't need to speak, Lin Baisheng knew what she wanted to say, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I'm really afraid of you, how much happened to this key in your hands, don't you know, can you manage your family well with your temper?" ”

"What did the master say?" Shen Qianlu flicked his sleeves and sat aside indignantly, this virtuous and squeamish appearance really couldn't be pretended for a while, "To put it bluntly, don't you just want to leave the key to that little goblin?" I really don't understand, what's so good about that little goblin, why are you just thinking about her, no matter how I say that I am the mother of the Lin family, and I am the person who should take the key to the house. What's more, you said that my housekeeper is not good at it, is it good for her to wear Xiaoyu? Don't forget, if it wasn't for her negligence last time, would Brother Xuan have suffered so much? ”

"Look at you, and take that out again, haven't I already taken the key back from her, and you need to talk about it all day long? Xiaoyu did this negligently, but it was better than the mistake you made at the beginning! ”

"I ......" Shen Qianlu was so angry that her face turned a little pale, "I took advantage of it at the beginning, but how did I know that it would become like this, in the end, I am not guilty of negligence, why did I take this key away for so many years, she is good, only a few days after I got it back from her, you just thought about sending her back." I can't live this day anymore! ”

"You! And thou hast said this. Lin Baisheng really has no way at all, "I didn't have to say that I wanted to give it to her, but there is nothing wrong with you saying that Xiaoyu is good, and it seems that there is no one in our house who can really take care of things in exchange for this key." Besides, there's no reason for it, this is given to you, she still has to make trouble, and I'm going to do it every day. ”

"Whew! I am the mother of the Lin family, and the key to the house is mine, so what qualifications does she have to make trouble. ”

"At least the butler is on top, she's better than you."

"I ......"

"Sir, ma'am." Seeing that Lin Baisheng and Shen Qianlu were about to quarrel, the maid outside finally walked in the door, interrupting the somewhat deadlocked atmosphere inside, "Young grandma asks to see." ”

"Frost is coming?" When the help came, Shen Qianlu also breathed a sigh of relief, "Let her come in." ”

Qi Shuang entered the small hall, and just looking at the two people in the saber rattling, he also saw what had just happened. Her mother-in-law, who is dedicated to the Lin family, can't say what's wrong, but her temper is a little rushed, and she doesn't know how to be soft in front of her father-in-law, so often even if things take advantage of reason, the situation is reversed by Dai Xiaoniang's words.

This time was the same, Qi Shuang naturally couldn't watch the situation fall like this again, so he naturally made all the preparations.

Qi Shuang came in to make Lin Baisheng's face look a little better, after all, Lin Baisheng was quite satisfied with his daughter-in-law. She is the daughter of the magistrate of Linxian County, although Linxian County is not as prosperous as Ping County, but the daughter of the county is also an official daughter, decent and generous, except for the fact that she has not yet given birth to an heir, everything else has given him enough face.

"I've seen my father and my mother." Qi Shuang lowered his body and saluted.

"Hurry up." Lin Baisheng raised his hand, "Daughter-in-law is here, but what's the matter?" ”

"Back to my father, I had some things to hand over to my mother, but I didn't expect my father to be here, so I don't know if I bothered me."

"What does the family say about bothering or not, what is it?"

Lin Baisheng said, Qi Shuang also presented the account list in his hand to Lin Baisheng and Shen Qianlu, "These are the congratulatory gift lists sent by several officials, including the history and inspection of the county and the county, all here, I will take them to my mother." ”

"And the canonical inspection?" Lin Baisheng took it and flipped through it carefully, "This is really strange, the history and inspection have always had a very general relationship with me, how could I suddenly send a congratulatory gift again, this is to ...... Show me hello? ”

Although Pingxian is a county seat, but there are many people and a large place, the officials in the county are really not few, most of them are divided into several factions, Lin Baisheng is a swaying left and right to stand on his own, and the relationship with the history and inspection is quite general, the last time Hongwen set up a banquet they didn't come and symbolically sent something, but I didn't expect that now, it actually made up for a stubble.

Although this Hongwen is promising, but in the end, before going to the Beijing Palace to test, it is nothing to lift people, and there is no reason why it is worth them to take the initiative to show their goodness.

"Frost, what's going on?"

"Father, these are the credit of my mother."

"She?"

Qi Shuang lowered his head slightly, "Yes, this time there was a disaster in Linxian County, and my mother accidentally learned the news from my father, and felt the suffering of the people, so I thought about helping her, and thought of a way to donate it through charity sales, and united several officials and relatives in Pingxian and Linxian County to make up money for disaster relief in Linxian County." Although my father had little contact with the canonical inspection, my mother had some contact with their relatives, and this disaster relief was also with their name. After the disaster was alleviated, my father was very grateful to the officials and relatives of Pingxian County, so he wrote to the imperial court, and the court's gift had arrived in Linxian County, and he thought that he would come to Pingxian soon. Because of this, the canon and the inspection were both gifted, and they were naturally grateful to their mothers, and these congratulatory gifts came because of this. ”

"Really?" Lin Baisheng flipped through it again in disbelief, he knew about the disaster in Linxian County, and it had nothing to do with him and he didn't get involved, and later Hongwen heard him mention it after he became the county prince, saying that the matter had been solved, and Lin Baisheng didn't care, who would have thought that there was actually a reason for her wife here.

"This is the ...... Did you really do it? Lin Baisheng looked at Shen Qianlu, and was very incredulous, as a wife, all he was thinking about day by day was how to snatch the key to the house from Xiaoyu, where did he have the heart to care about these people's sufferings, and he could also come up with ways to ease the relationship between him and several officials.

"Ah......" Shen Qianlu was slightly stunned, Lin Baisheng knew her in the end, and where did Shen Qianlu do this. Qi Shuang thought of all the methods, she said that why did this daughter-in-law have to let her make appointments with so many officials and relatives, she was still bored with this kind of occasion at the time, but now she knows that she was planning to do it for this matter.

Her daughter-in-law wants to put all the credit on her, and of course she has no reason not to accept it.

"Yes, yes...... Master, actually, I didn't expect this to happen, I just thought that the lord was an official in the court, and I couldn't help the lord in the right thing as a wife, so I naturally had to go with those relatives more, and I also had to do my part for the lord. ”
