Chapter 32 Borrowing
Mama Chang finally appeased the Sun family, and came out of the Sun family's room but went in the direction of Qiuheng Courtyard.
This time, Mama Chang did not go to the area of the podium where people lived, but went directly to Qiuheng Courtyard. At this time, the Jin family was already handling the housekeeping in the main hall of the inner courtyard of the palace, "Yiyan Hall", and Mama Chang stayed in Qiuheng Yuan to take care of the affairs in the courtyard.
As soon as Mama Chang entered the yard, a girl went to report to Mama Lin that she knew, so after a while, Mama Chang saw Mama Lin come out from afar.
"I was discussing with my mother-in-law about changing the screen curtains in the yard just now, but I didn't want to hear the little girl report that you were here." Mama Lin said with a smile.
Mama Chang hurriedly said: "I don't have anything important, but last time I said that I wanted to bother you to help me find a few fashionable tricks, and I came to ask for it today, but I didn't want to delay you to get busy." Why don't you get busy first, I'll wait here for a while. ”
Mama Lin was stunned when she heard this, she didn't hear Mama Chang mention the tricks, so Mama Chang came today? Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Look at what you said, how long can this be delayed?" I've already found it for you, and I'm about to send it to you, but you're here yourself. I'll get it for you now. ”
Mama Chang hurriedly thanked her and followed Mama Lin out of the yard.
"Are you here today?" Mama Lin took Mama Chang to a secluded place around the corner, and when she saw that there was no one around, she asked directly.
Mama Chang looked around and said in a low voice, "Old sister, I'm here today to give you a wake-up call." ”
Mama Lin was surprised: "But what happened?" ”
Mama Chang nodded: "When I combed the old lady's hair this morning, the old lady was furious and threw a teacup. You know, I am an old man who follows the old lady, and the old lady has some trust in the end, so the old lady told me about the old man buying Zhuangzi outside. ”
Mama Lin frowned when she heard this: "The old lady knew so quickly? I thought I could hide it for a few days. She thought for a while and said, "After all, the old lady and the eldest master are mother and son, so they shouldn't be too harsh on the eldest master for this matter, right?" "For this matter, the eldest lady Jin is not too worried, no matter how strict the old lady is, she will defend the eldest son after all.
Mama Chang sighed when she heard this, and stopped talking a little.
Seeing this, Mama Lin said suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”
Mama Chang hesitated for a while, but still said in a low voice: "The eldest master is the eldest son of the old lady, so there is no need to say that the mother-son relationship is self-explanatory." But...... But the eldest lady is a daughter-in-law after all, and this is still a layer apart. ”
Mama Lin was surprised: "What does this have to do with our wife?" "Mama Lin was brought by the eldest lady from her mother's family, and her feelings for the eldest lady Jin must be different.
Mama Chang said: "It doesn't matter if we look at it, but this mother doesn't think so." The old lady was furious this time, but not at the eldest master, but at the lady. ”
Mama Lin hurriedly said, "This ...... Old lady, why is that? ”
Mama Chang shook her head: "You also know the old lady's temper, and she is the most protective." Over the years, she has let the eldest lady take charge of the house, I will tell you an unpleasant truth, although the eldest lady is the eldest daughter-in-law's son, but the bigger reason is because the old lady looks at the eldest son of the eldest son. ”
Mama Lin nodded when she heard this, she naturally knew this truth, no matter how her daughter-in-law was, she was also an outsider.
"But don't forget, the old lady is not only the eldest man's own son."
"Mama, do you mean ......?"
Mama Chang continued: "The old lady said that the eldest lady will only make promises in front of the eldest master over the years, and will not persuade. A good man has developed the problem of spending money lavishly and often staying overnight, which is a dereliction of duty as a wife! Later, the old lady thought about it and said, the eldest lady must be busy with housework on weekdays, and has no time to take care of her husband, so it is better to let the one in the third room come back to share the worries for the eldest lady, and the eldest lady will first learn how to serve her husband and then become the lady in charge. ”
"What?" Mama Lin was shocked: "The old lady actually has such thoughts? How can this be done? "Because of the convenience of this lady in charge, the Kim family doesn't know how much benefit they want to get from the public every year. This is to the fat in the mouth, let her spit it out again, how is this possible?
"No, I'll have to tell Madame about this." Mama Lin turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, old sister." Mama Chang stretched out her hand and grabbed Mama Lin and said, "If you go recklessly like this, it will only make Madame worry too, but it will not help, it is better to help Madame think of a way to share her worries first." ”
When Mama Lin heard this, she also felt that she was too anxious and lost her former composure.
"What's the best way to do it?"
Mama Chang smiled: "I don't have that much ability, and I came to tell you about this matter today so that you can prepare for it as soon as possible." But I think there's someone who might have the ability to help. ”
"Oh?"
"Old sister, did you forget that there is still Mama Li? If you want to say that the most trusted person in this mansion by the old lady, it is none other than Mama Li. Why don't you let the eldest lady ask her to act in front of the old lady? ”
Mama Lin thought for a while when she heard this, and said, "You can give it a try." Mama Li is now like a fish in water in this house, and she is also stained with the light of the eldest master, if the big house loses the right to steward, it will not be of any benefit to her. ”
Mama Chang said: "You go and tell Madame about this, and ask her to invite Mama Li to come over to discuss it immediately, this matter should not be slow." On the old lady's side, I'll help you find out, and if there's anything wrong, I'll tell you about it right away. ”
Mama Lin thanked her, and Mama Chang turned around and went back to Songling Courtyard.
Over there, Mama Li went to Hefeng Courtyard and didn't know anything about what happened in Songling Courtyard and Qiuheng Courtyard.
"Mama Li, please take a seat." Sanniang had just finished breakfast, and the table had not been cleaned up, when she saw Mama Li coming. hurriedly asked the little girls to clean up the table and beckoned Mama Li to come and sit down in the bright room.
Mama Li was not polite, picked the first chair on the left and sat down.
"Bai Ying go and bring tea to Mama Li, Mama Zhao, you go to your brother's yard and bring your grandmother over if she doesn't let us go to ask for peace today, and let him go to the school after breakfast." Sanniang commanded.
"Slow down, I have something to say, Mama Zhao, you stay." Mama Li raised her eyelids and said.
Mama Zhao was angry and hated when she heard this, and she was about to ignore it, but she saw Sanniang shaking her head at her.
Mama Zhao remembered that the mother-in-law wanted to drive her away from the young master and the young lady last time, and she couldn't wait to pounce on Mama Li to peel the skin and eat meat, but she didn't want Sanniang to be difficult, so she had to clench her fists and endure it.
Sanniang instructed Bai Zhi: "In this case, you can go to the young master's courtyard for a walk." ”
Bai Ying and Bai Zhi both received the order, and Sanniang smiled at Mama Li again: "Mama Li has something to say, please say." ”
Mama Li said in a rambling voice: "Last time, the slave maid in the old lady's room mentioned that she wanted Mama Zhao to move to Zhuangzi to support the elderly, and the old lady also nodded, I don't know when the third lady will let Mama Zhao leave?" You set a specific date with me, and I will go to Zhuangzi to say hello, because Zhuangzi is far away, and it will take more than a month to come and go, so it is better to prepare early. ”
"This Zhuangzi is in the western suburbs, why does it take more than a month to go back and forth?" Mama Zhao couldn't help but be suspicious.
