174 He Never Trusted (Spared)
The doors are not open today.
She dignified Mrs. Shizi of the Rongguo Mansion went back to her house, and when she returned to her own home, when the third lady said a word, she had to go through the small door in a gloomy manner!
It's not the point to go through the door, the point is that she can't swallow this breath!
"Uncle Fu, why haven't I come back for a few months, and my surname has been changed to Li in this house?"
Uncle Fu of the concierge was in his forties, wearing a blue-gray shirt, and when he saw Lin Yu'an refusing to go through the small door, he was a little at a loss, he was just a subordinate, and he was ordered by the third lady to do things, and where did he know.
"Mrs. Shizi, don't be angry, I'll go to the third lady and talk back to you."
There was a stalemate outside, and the third lady was drinking tea in her own Rong'an Hall, admiring the flowers and teasing the birds, and when she heard that the maid came to give Mrs. Shizi back, she refused to go through the small door, and immediately smiled.
The third lady's maiden name is Li, and her father is a Beijing official, who served as the governor of the river in the Qinhuai area, and was in charge of the large and small boats on the river.
Although he is not a big official who calls for wind and rain, he is also rich in oil and water, otherwise the third lady would not have the waist pole to make trouble here.
"Since she refuses, let her pestle outside, the autumn tiger is still a little powerful, I don't want to go out." Li Shi stared at his nails, and called to his personal maid with a lazy look: "Ling'er, the color of my nails is lighter, dye it for me."
A delicate and lovely young girl walked over, answered with a delicate yes, and turned around to get the white porcelain bottle containing nail paste, but was stopped by a pair of soft hands on her waist.
She was startled, her body froze, and her voice trembled: "Madam, do you still have orders?"
Li pursed his lips and smiled, but the corners of his eyes showed fine lines, "What are you nervous about, I look at your slender waist, fair skin, and water and spirit are even better than the master, if you don't serve me, there is still a flower who knows cold and heat!" β
Ling'er was so frightened that her face was bloodless, and her tightly bitten lower lip was faintly pale, "Madam, what did Ling'er do wrong?" Ling'er just wants to serve his wife and never leave for the rest of his life. β
Li's face became gloomy, kicked away Ling'er's hands that wanted to hug her legs, and said coldly: "Letting you go is to promote you, I don't know what to do, you don't want to get married, so why are you still wandering around the study all day long, don't you want to call me a sister?!"
Listening to Li's words, Ling'er buried her head and didn't dare to speak, since her mind was seen by her wife, there must be no way out for herself.
Lin Yu'an waited outside the door, and no one came out for a long time, and the corners of Xu's mother's eyes also climbed with anger.
Uncle Fu in the concierge was also a little anxious, "Mrs. Shizi, wait a minute, I sent someone in, and I don't know why it was delayed." β
He was so anxious that he was a little incoherent, Lin Yu'an waved his hand and said casually: "It seems that the third aunt is a noble person who forgets things a lot, it doesn't matter, go over the hill to open the door."
Yueqiu's voice should be, Uncle Fu panicked when he heard it, and stepped forward to stop Yueqiu, if he let Mrs. Shizi enter the house from the main gate today, I am afraid that I will be hated by the third lady.
But the twenty or so people behind Yueqiu stood up, and Uncle Fu didn't dare to go up again to stop him, so many people, he was also old, but he didn't want to lose his errand and break his arm and be lame.
In the Rong'an Hall, the Li family heard that Lin Yu'an and his party had opened the main gate by themselves and had entered the house, so they were immediately furious, and they dropped a set of floating porcelain tea sets from the Ru kiln after the rain and the sunny sky with a raised hand.
"Mother Wang, come with me to meet this powerful Mrs. Shizi."
The autumn chrysanthemums in the courtyard are in full bloom, the skylars are jumping on the branches between the floating lights, although the sun is not as burning as in midsummer, you can walk through the winding verandah hugging the building, and there are fine and dense beads of sweat on the forehead.
"Madam, are we really going to live in Rongxi?" Nanfeng asked with some concern.
Lin Yu'an said leisurely: "It's not that you have to live in it right away, but in the future, you will naturally need a spacious place to manage this huge home."
There are three large courtyards in the Rongguo Mansion, one is the Chu Yu Courtyard where the late Rongguo Duchess Ji lived, that is, the main courtyard, and there is also a Rong'an Hall and Rongxi Residence on the left and right.
The second lady does not fight for these things on weekdays, so she lives in Sui'an with the second master, some distance from the main courtyard, and the third lady helped the Ji housekeeper before, so she lived in the Rong'an Hall, which is closest to the main courtyard.
Lin Yu'an came back this time, and it was not a rain and a sunny day, and she was bluffing, she had to take advantage of this time to take the power of the family into her hands, so as not to suffer this kind of bad heart like herself in the future.
Rongxi Hall has not been inhabited for some years, and now it seems that this year is a little long, the yard is overgrown with weeds, cobwebs everywhere, and the ash is thick, but fortunately, the roof is not leaking, and the furnishings and furniture in the house are readily available, and there is no damage.
"Mother Xu, you will call all the idlers from all over the room and everywhere later, and clean up this place."
Lin Yu'an looked at Rongxi Residence, with a satisfied look on his face, this Rongxi Residence is really much bigger than that in South Park, of course, the best thing is that there are a few people who don't look good over there.
Tuan Tuan and Dudu, you can grow up here in the future, and it's good to think about it.
"I said Brother Jia's daughter-in-law, what are you going to do when you come back?"
Listening to this voice, Lin Yu'an didn't need to look back to know that it was the third lady who came.
It's fast enough.
Lin Yu'an turned around, and bowed to the third lady without any anger on his face, which was regarded as respect for the elders.
In fact, according to Lin Yu'an's current rank, her status is higher than that of the third lady, and it should be the third lady who salutes her, but in terms of seniority, it is also okay for Lin Yu'an to give a junior salute.
"Where can it be compared to the third aunt's divine powers, it has only been a long time, and the Rongguo Mansion has changed its surname to Li."
A sentence that is not light or heavy, but it shocked the Li family and changed the surname of the Rongguo Mansion to Li? She wasn't so arrogant and felt she had what it could do.
"Don't talk nonsense." Li pretended to be calm and looked Lin Yu'an up and down.
"Since there is none, then why do the servants of the Yu family only obey the orders of the third aunt, could it be that the third aunt is the eldest lady of the head of the family of Rong Guogong and the eldest wife of the main house?"
Lin Yu'an's words rang loudly, and the face of the third lady Li turned red, like a red-hot soldering iron.
"Ridiculous! What nonsense are you talking about, the eldest lady has just passed away, I am just helping the housekeeper, why did it become such a dirty word in your mouth! Grandpa Guo and I are innocent. Li Shi was angry, pointed at Lin Yu'an and shouted angrily.
Lin Yu'an asked again: "Third aunt, don't worry, it's so easy for you to make people feel that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, isn't this that no one says that you have anything with your father-in-law?"
Li's words were stopped, it was true that no one had said this, but she just heard the sarcasm in Lin Yu'an's words.
"If the third aunt is not in good spirits, if you don't go back to take care of yourself, the coming days will be long, and you will go on this day, you are in a trance, it is really worrying."
"Mrs. Shizi, it's better for you to speak softly, after all, the third lady is your elder, no matter how powerful you are, you shouldn't speak to your elders like this." Mother Wang, who was wearing an autumn-colored water scale gown beside Li, spoke.
Lin Yu'an sneered, but didn't talk to her, she was the master, and she was scheming with her subordinates, so she would inevitably lose her identity.
She walked towards the house, and Nanyu asked her smartly: "Madam, you are the master of the house, will you let an old woman talk to you like this?"
"I am the master, she is the servant, and a dog beside the third lady is also worthy of talking to me?"
Lin Yu'an's voice was neither loud nor small, which just made everyone present hear it clearly.
Mother Wang didn't expect that she had reached the age of gray hair, and she would be insulted like this, her angry nose was panting, and Li Shi also felt shameless, so she stopped Lin Yu'an and said, "Brother Jia's daughter-in-law, you really need to change your temperament!"
Lin Yu'an turned to her and smiled, "What, what you said just now made the third aunt angry?" That's embarrassing. β
This happened just after Lin Yu'an and Li's vindictiveness happened, and the second lady who lived in Anju over there heard about it, she just smiled faintly and didn't say much.
When Rong Guogong came back, he heard that Lin Yu'an came back with his child, and he didn't even change his court clothes, so he went to Nanyuan.
In the South Garden, the people are sweeping the yard, there are parrots hanging under the eaves, Mother Xu is holding the child and singing nursery rhymes, and Lin Yu'an, who is wearing an apricot-colored dress, is dressing the child lying on the chair and kicking his legs.
"Grandpa Fu'an!"
Hearing the maid's voice, Lin Yu'an looked up and saw Rong Guogong walking over happily, Lin Yu'an also hurriedly got up and saluted, but was stopped by Rong Guogong.
"You hold the child, you don't have to salute, I, I just heard that you came back with the child, and I want to see the child, you don't have to be far away."
"Father-in-law, this is my brother, the first one to come out, the milk name is Tuan Tuan, this is the sister, she is a late doll, the milk name is Dudu, do you want to hug it?"
Lin Yu'an smiled at the corner of his mouth and introduced Rong Guogong.
Rong Guocheng stood in front of Xu's mother, and when he saw the child smiling at him, he also laughed happily, "Okay, come, grandfather hug." β
Tuan Tuan didn't recognize his life at all in Rong Guogong's arms, giggling, Rong Guogong was a rough man, and he was a little helpless when he held such a small milk doll for the first time.
"It's so small, I'm afraid I'll hurt him if I force it." Rong Guogong freed his hand to grab the calves that were kicking around, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
He seemed to suddenly think of something, and a spirit looked at Lin Yuan, "Brother Jia's daughter-in-law, I don't have anything for the two children, there are jewelry from the previous emperor in the warehouse, as well as a box of excellent inkstones and pens, just play with these two children, plus that." β
As he spoke, he instructed Chang to follow Qiushi to fetch things for him.
Rong Guogong held the child and waited for Qiushi to go and return.
Qiu Shi took two ordinary envelopes and handed them to Lin Yu'an.
"Father-in-law, what is this?"
"It's nothing, it's just 30,000 taels of silver tickets, for these two children."
Lin Yu'an stood like a lightning strike, and felt that he couldn't find any words to describe Rong Guogong's hands and feet.
Drastic? Ostentatious? Or do you treat money like dung?
30,000 taels of silver, casually taken out, when this is waste paper?
But after Rong Guogong left, Lin Yu'an realized that he was too naΓ―ve.
It was not 30,000 taels, it was an envelope with 30,000 taels of silver tickets, a total of 60,000 taels of silver tickets.
Of course, that's just for later.
Lin Yu'an thanked Rong Guogong, and then talked to him about business, "Father-in-law, these two children have not yet taken names, and they have not been on the family tree, do you see when they will ......?"
"This matter, don't worry, take your time, the child is still young, and there will be time in the future." When Rong Guogong heard Lin Yu'an ask, he said that he would always come, and his heart sank slightly, and he handed the child to Xu's mother.
Lin Yu'an knew Rong Guogong's intention to shirk when he heard it, but he had a lot of dreams at night, could it be that his father-in-law also knew about Yu Jia and the three princesses of Yaoyuan, and didn't want the two children to go to the family tree?
"Father-in-law, how can you not be in a hurry about this matter, if you think that the two children are not worthy of the family tree, it doesn't matter, I will take them away tomorrow, and I will definitely not mention half a word about the Rongguo Mansion."
Sometimes it is still useful to play tricks, for example, at this time, Rong Guogong is also a little anxious, how can he let Lin Yu'an take the child away again.
He was also anxious, and finally had to retreat from everyone and tell Lin Yu'an what he was hiding.
After Rong Guogong left, Lin Yu'an didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
She knew that Yu Jia's identity was the prince, but this was something she had inadvertently known before, and Yu Jia had never told her a word, but what about her?
For Yu Jia, he used his life to give birth to children, but he hid so many things from himself, what is he in his heart?
There is no stranger who half-trusts.
The chill in my heart is cooler than in autumn nights.
The sound of the grasshopper still sounded in the night, but with a little sadness that it was about to pass away.
She and Yu Jia may really be just a firework, but a short and beautiful encounter.
He had never trusted her, and she had never really entered his heart.
That's fine, that's fine.
From now on, aside from these children's affection, it is also good to hold power in your life, with children around your knees, you can take care of your old age in your old age, and you will not be lonely.
Since then, Lin Yu'an has never mentioned the matter of genealogy for his two children.
Rongxi Residence was quickly cleaned out, and after being vacant for a few days, Lin Yu'an took someone to move in.
And Rong Guogong also asked Lin Yu'an to take care of the house with the third lady, although the third lady complained, but she didn't dare to reveal half of it.
After all, her housekeeper is not rightly named, if she has other thoughts, it will make people criticize, it is better to go on like this first, she doesn't believe it, this little girl who is a mother for the first time, what can she do!
Yu Hao is married, and it is Ruan Lingyin, the eldest daughter of Ruan Shengcai, who was very favored after the new emperor ascended the throne.
This matter is naturally handed over to Lin Yu'an and the Li family, who are in charge of the affairs of the house.
The Ruan family made their fortune in the north, and they don't have much power in the capital, but they have eyes in front of the emperor, that is the face, no one dares to ignore it, but they don't know how the young lady of the family is.
Lin Yu'an heard some interesting things from Xu's mother.
