"Yo, Sister Zhen is in the house!" As soon as the curtain was lifted, Ruyu walked into the house with a smile, her eyes turned to Lin Zhenniang's face, and she sighed: "These people have black hearts and poisonous hands, look at what Sister Zhen'er has become......"

Lin Zhenniang frowned, but did not say anything.

Ruyu usually calls Lin Zhenniang "little lady" on weekdays, but today, somehow, she directly called "Sister Zhen'er". Although it was just a title, Lin Zhenniang always felt that Ruyu's smile had other meanings.

"Mother, since my aunt is here, then I'll go back first, and I'll talk about what I said just now."

Lin Zhenniang was about to leave, but Ruyu interjected: "Yo, did I disturb Sister Zhen'er and my sister talking?" Just now I heard Sister Zhen talk about money and business at the door, and I was still thinking about the big things in the family, and I also listened to help come up with ideas! I didn't expect that as soon as I came, it would affect my sister and Sister Zhen. Well, I'd better go back first......"

said so, but Ruyu was still sitting on the couch and didn't move.

Lin Zhenniang frowned, thinking that this Ruyu relied on Lin Jing to be the only male in the Lin family, and she actually had to listen to "family events" at this time.

Chen lowered his eyes, and didn't let Ruyu go out, but said lightly: "Zhenniang, your aunt is not an outsider, you still say what you just said!" Don't be taboo. ”

Lin Zhenniang pursed the corners of her mouth, glanced at Ruyu, who was listening with her ears pricked up, and did not continue to speak directly as she did just now, but said with a thorn in her words: "Mother, you also know how much our family's expenses are." Just my aunt's monthly silver will cost 500 wen a month, which is ten times more than my daughter's! According to us, the annual expenses of people like us are only twenty taels of silver, but with the monthly money of Aunt Ruyu, it is not enough! This is still a mother, you don't have any monthly money account! ”

Ruyu hooked the corners of her mouth, and there was some crying in her voice, "Sister, I have this month's silver when Da Lang was alive, isn't this also why my sister and Da Lang sympathize with me and raise Brother Jing, so I can give me more money to make up for Brother Jing?" ”

Lin Zhenniang couldn't help laughing in her heart. said that it was a subsidy for Lin Jing, but Lin Jing is now a degree of application, which is not from the Chen family?

"I know this," Chen glanced at Ruyu who covered his face with a handkerchief, and still habitually reassured, "Don't worry, this month's silver will not lose your ......"

Lin Zhenniang coughed, "Didn't you give your aunt ten taels of silver before?" This is more money than a year and a month, and I don't know how my mother saved that money. My aunt should also be considerate of my mother! ”

Without waiting for Ruyu to speak, Lin Zhenniang said: "Mother, you have experienced today's situation, and my aunt also saw my face hurt, even if she didn't see the situation at that time, she could think of it." Don't look at this year's land rent money back, but what about next year? Zhao Dalang is not a good person, and he doesn't know how to fight him! ”

Although she signed a new land rent, Lin Zhenniang also thought that as long as An Ronghe was still working in the yamen, Zhao Dalang would not dare to fight anymore, but at this time, it was naturally as difficult as it was.

After a pause, looking at the faces of Chen and Ruyu who were not very good-looking, Lin Zhenniang said: "So I just said, while I have just recovered the ground rent, I have some money, it is better to do some small business, and I don't need much capital, as long as I make a pancake with an iron bell, I will go out and set up a stall, even if I only earn a few dozen yuan a day, it is better than relying on the rent money collected once a year - in the end, if there is only one input, it is difficult to ensure that I will not sit and eat nothing." ”

"Sister Zhen wants to do business?" Ruyu rushed ahead of Chen's and said with a smile: "Sister Zhen'er is angry outside, and she thinks a lot!" People like us, you are a little lady who has not been out of the cabinet, how can you go out to sell cakes on the street? ”

Lin Zhenniang was happy, "Auntie, I have also seen the women selling on the street, or selling some candied fruit, or selling some food, and some selling rouge gouache, needles and threads, and I heard that there are also people who sift wine in the restaurant...... I know my aunt wants to say that I'm different from those women who show up. But what's the difference?! People like us? Who are we? Although it is not poor and white, it is not a family with thousands of families and no worries about eating and drinking. If I were really so rich, I would like to be like the ladies of those big families, who only opened the shop and collected the money behind them! ”

Ruyu's face was hot, she pursed the corners of her mouth, and suddenly smiled: "I know, the little lady wants to go out to make money and save a dowry for herself!" Also, if you marry a daughter now, how can you not accompany a dowry of more than 30? The little lady wants to save for a dowry, which is also right! ”

Covering her mouth, she smiled and said: "I heard that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, some poor girls even pawned themselves as concubines in order to save dowries!" ”

Ruyu was originally sarcastic, but she didn't want her words to speak, Chen had already raised her hand and smashed the embroidered bandage that had not been put down in her hand.

Although the show is made of bamboo, the weight is not heavy, and it does not hurt very much on the body. But Rao is like this, Ruyu was also shocked. She has been married for seven or eight years, how can she see Chen so angry. Don't talk about throwing things at her, even if you don't talk much.

"Sister, you are ......"

She had only said half a sentence, and Chen had already intercepted her words: "You go out-" shouted loudly, Chen looked at Ruyu coldly, "If you want me to hear you say such bastard words again, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" ”

Ruyu was stunned at first, and then felt disgraced, and it was difficult to argue again, so she had to hide her face and go out.

was first shocked by Chen's sudden temper, and when she saw Ruyu going out, Lin Zhenniang woke up. Bent down to pick up the embroidered bandage, hold it and send it to the table, Lin Zhenniang smiled and praised: "Mother is so majestic!" ”

She really felt that Chen's smashing made her too happy, but she didn't want Chen to look up at her, and she didn't mean to be half happy.

Lin Zhenniang pursed her lips, sat on the couch, and said nothing.

Chen looked at her silently, and after a long while, he asked, "Zhenniang, do you really want to go out and set up a stall?!" ”

Lin Zhenniang nodded, opened her mouth to speak, Chen had already waved her hand and said: "Don't say it yet, let me think about it again - you can think about it yourself......" Closing her eyes, Chen's face showed a tired face, "Zhenniang, you have to know - not everything is as simple as you think!" My mother has lived for half her life, and she has never gone out to set up a stall to sell anything. But my mother knows that it is not easy to open a store to do business or set up a stall to make a small amount ......of money."

"In the past, you stayed at home with your mother, how did you know what was going on outside?" Chen raised his hand and brushed Lin Zhenniang's hair, and said softly: "Mother knows that your father and the Bai family's affairs have made you very uncomfortable recently, so you have to fight hard in everything." But how can things in this world be done if they are so strong? Let's just talk about today's incident, do you know, if the Anji is a bad heart, let's not talk about not getting the ground rent, we may have to suffer a lawsuit! ”

Lin Zhenniang raised her eyebrows, wanted to say something but swallowed it, and just said in a muffled voice: "It was I who caused my mother to be wronged, and my mother didn't have to ask for such a big courtesy......"

Hearing Lin Zhenniang say this, Chen frowned, knowing that her daughter did not fully listen to what she said.

Why is this kid so stubborn? Although he was not a temperless person before, he did not have such a fierce ......

Shaking his head, Chen gently patted Lin Zhenniang's hand, and said gently: "Just listen to your mother, you think about it again, and then come and talk to your mother when you figure it out." ”

Lin Zhenniang bit her lip, stopped talking, and finally walked out silently.

Walking up to the main room, I swept my eyes and saw that the curtain on the door of the west chamber was still shaking, and it was clear that someone had just entered.

Suspecting that Ru Yugang was eavesdropping outside, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but snort.

did not return to the East Chamber's residence, she followed up directly with the West Chamber. Ruyu, who was sitting on the couch, twisted her body, lowered her head to bite the thread in her hand, as if she was busy and didn't see Lin Zhenniang enter the door.

Lin Zhenniang didn't say anything, her eyes swept over, and she felt that the furnishings of this west room were not much worse than the main house of the Chen family, and even some things seemed to be newer, which was obviously what the Chen family had earlier, and Ruyu also bought it later.

Without waiting for Ruyu to beckoned her to sit, Lin Zhenniang went over to sit on the couch by herself. The light-colored belly pocket in Ruyu's hand that has not yet been sewn up, the embroidered pattern is a ruyi, not like a pattern of women's love, I think it was sewn for Lin Jing.

It's also a six- or seven-year-old child, what kind of belly pocket do you wear!

Lin Zhenniang pulled the corners of her mouth, but she didn't say this, but said lightly: "Auntie, I have something I want to say to you." ”

She spoke, as if she had just known that she had entered the house, turned her head to look at her, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the little lady has to say!" ”

Lin Zhenniang lowered her eyes and figured it out: Ruyu wanted to call her "Sister Zhen" when she wanted to say that she was an elder, and as soon as she wanted to say that she was far away, she would be called "little lady".

"Auntie, did you hear the voice of my little brother reading?"

Lin Jing's room is next door to Ruyu, if you sit in this room and don't make a sound, you can hear Lin Jing's sound of reading. I don't know if Ruyu understands or not, but just listening, the corners of Ruyu's mouth can't help but show a smile of relief.

Looking at the smile on the corner of Ruyu's mouth, Lin Zhenniang also smiled, "Auntie, I know what you think." It's nothing more than that the younger brother is the only male in the Lin family, and even your biological mother is noble. However, don't forget, no matter how noble you are, you are just a concubine! Whether it is now or in the future, the mother of the younger brother is only my mother - that is, he will really win the official position in the future, and the person who has been named Mrs. Decree is also my mother, not your ......"

The smile on Ruyu's face collapsed instantly, and when she raised her head, she looked at Lin Zhenniang, and it was difficult to hide the anger and resentment in her eyes.

Lin Zhenniang didn't seem to see it at all, and still said lightly: "However, this is all later." What I want to tell my aunt now is not this. Auntie, you are not a smart person, if you are smart, you should not think about taking power at this time. You need to know, even though the younger brother is a man, but he is only so little now, what do he understand? I said before that Lin Jing wants to have a chance, but she can't rely on my mother?! If you annoy my mother-hmph, the Lin family is like this now, and I don't expect anyone to really shine on the lintel......"

"You ......" I didn't know what to think, Ruyu jumped up suddenly, her face was pale, as if she was going to eat Lin Zhenniang.

At the same time, Chen's voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Zhen Niang, you come out-"
