"Is your mother at home?" Amin asked.

The girl nodded, glanced at the carriage, and ran inside.

Amin lifted the curtain of the carriage, "Master, she's here." ”

Lin Zhongchao got out of the carriage and put on a mask.

When the two walked in, the girl slammed the door shut.

In the house, a young woman was already sitting.

The eyebrows are delicate, the clothes are simple, and the temperament is good.

There was also a nurse standing behind her, and the nurse was also dressed by a large family.

It's hard to imagine that in a slum like Ink Pond Fang, there would be a few people dressed up like this.

In the hands of the nurse, there was also a boy of three or four years old.

It seems that it is also the child of the young woman.

Lin Zhongchao sat down.

"This is our Pavilion Master of Kangtai Pavilion." Ah Ming introduced Lin Zhongchao to the young woman.

"Can you really help me enter the Wu Guogong Mansion?" The young woman gritted her teeth, "For so many years, I have followed Zhou Bin without a name, but Zhou Bin has been lying to me and refusing to take me in. ”

"We've already started arranging." Lin Zhongchao got straight to the point, "Kangtai Pavilion will never lose its trust. ”

The young woman's eyes were gloomy, "I only know that Kangtai Pavilion is a jade shop in the capital. ”

"You're wrong, Kangtai Pavilion is the most prestigious jade shop in the capital."

The young woman looked disdainful, "No matter how prestigious she is, she is just a businessman." If I hadn't followed Zhou Bin, I would only have to talk to my father, and Kang Tai Ge would be nothing. ”

Lin Zhongchao smiled faintly, "You're still wrong." Hong Tai Court is more than just a businessman. If there is no force behind it, where do you think those precious jade artifacts in Kangtai Pavilion come from? ”

The young woman looked amazed and said to her daughter, "Yi'er, why don't you serve tea to the two elder brothers?" ”

The seven-year-old girl named Yi'er saluted the young woman and went to serve tea, with a neat movement and a calm expression, without the innocence that she should have at her age.

"I know, over there in the Dingguo Mansion, you can't go back. Since you can't go back, Kangtai Pavilion is your only hope. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about a pair of children. Lin Zhongchao took the tea but didn't drink it, just said with an unchanged expression.

The young woman stroked the boy's head, her eyes were in a trance, "Okay, then I promise you." ”

Lin Zhongchao glanced at Ah Ming, Ah Ming understood, and stepped forward to hug the boy.

But suddenly the young woman put her arms around her son with trembling hands, and choked up, "Don't, don't take my son." ”

Lin Zhongchao's expression was indifferent, "Madam, you have thought clearly." Kang Tai Court will not help you for nothing, if you don't exchange terms with us. ”

"I will listen to you, but, my son ......" the young woman's eyes were full of reluctance, "I will go to the Duke of Wu Guo's Mansion, if I can bring a son of Zhou Bin, Zhou Bin will be better for me, and the Duke of Wu will value me more, and I will do things better for you." ”

Lin Zhongchao shook his head, "It seems that you still haven't figured it out." Madame, if you don't hand over your son to us, why should we believe you? As he spoke, he stood up and was about to leave.

"Okay, I promise you." The young woman was in a hurry, and hurriedly handed the boy over to Ah Ming, kneeling in front of Lin Zhongchao, like a mourning dog, "I beg you to help me enter the Wu Guogong Mansion." ”

"No problem." Lin Zhongchao's expression was still indifferent, "Don't worry, your son will be safe with us, as long as you are obedient." ”

"Don't take my brother away, I'll go with you." Next to him, Na Yi'er, who had not spoken, spoke.

Lin Zhongchao glanced back at Yi'er and said lightly: "No, you are smarter, let's go to the Mansion of Wu Guo with your mother." ”

And then it was gone.

on the carriage.

"Master, that Zhou Yi doesn't look simple." "Even though I'm only seven years old, my eyes are very sharp. It's much more powerful than her mother. ”

Lin Zhongchao nodded, glanced at the trembling three-year-old boy beside him, and said: "He's just a child, our grievances have nothing to do with him, if you stay in Kangtai Pavilion, I'm afraid that no one will take care of him, let him stay in Yuwangfu!" ”

Ah Ming was stunned, "Master, then how do we explain him to outsiders?" ”

"Let's just say it's a child left by a servant." After Lin Zhongchao finished speaking, he stopped looking at the boy, lifted the curtain, and looked outside.

What catches your eye is the golden-red gate of the Wu Guogong Mansion.

Just now the carriage drove through a pit, and Lin Zhongchao knew that it was passing by the Wu Guogong Mansion. He couldn't help but look at it.

In his previous life, he lived in the Wu Guogong Mansion for five years.

Wu Guogong's Mansion was like his second home, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

Ah Ming looked at Lin Zhongchao and sighed, "Master, do you need to stop?" ”

"No, I don't." Lin Zhongchao put down the curtain of the car, unwilling to be seen through by Ah Ming, so he closed his eyes and rested.

No one spoke in the carriage anymore.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. The Wu Mansion has been a lot quieter these days, and they are busy preparing for the birthday banquet of the old Duchess of Guo.

The old duchess asked Lin Yu to quit the housekeepership, but she didn't bother to take care of it, so she temporarily handed it over to the Sun family in the second room.

The Sun family calculated, the old duchess likes luxury, where dare she slack off at this birthday banquet, but to do it luxuriously, this cash is not enough.

In the past, when Lin Yu was in charge of the house, Lin Yu made up the deficit by himself, but the Sun family would not use his dowry to make up for it.

So Sun had no choice but to go to the old Duchess and hoped that the old Duchess would open the treasury and take out the silver that the old Duchess had reserved over the years for a birthday banquet.

The old Duchess was naturally unwilling, and scolded Sun away angrily, letting Sun find his own way.

Sun's anger was that the old Duchess wanted to be the shopkeeper, so he asked for the big house and the third room to pay for it, but the big house naturally ignored it directly, and Zhou Yuan and Feng Sanniang of the third room took out some of the silver.

"Since it is a mother's birthday banquet, it costs a lot of money, and we should be part of the three rooms. It's just the second sister-in-law's side? Feng Sanniang hinted that the Sun family should also give some silver.

The Sun family was originally a dime, but when Feng Sanniang said this, there was nothing embarrassing, and it was not enough to say that there was no silver.

Zhou Bin hoped that the Sun family would always hold the stewardship, and in order to please Zhou Bin, the Sun family had to scold the old duchess in his heart and make up for the loss with his dowry.

Zhou Zhengzheng knew that the Sun family had paid for the birthday banquet of the old Duchess of the country, so he was so happy that he hurriedly told Lin Yu, "Mother, let's see how long they can last, if they come over now and beg you to take back the stewardship, you must not agree." It's good for them to make up for this monthly deficit on their own. ”

Lin Yu nodded next week's Zheng Zheng's forehead and said with a smile: "Mother knows, little clever ghost." ”

Soon, the birthday banquet of the old Duchess arrived.
