Chapter 211: Hands-on
Lin Yi and Mr. Yuqiu talked to him, sent Mr. into the carriage, and returned to the house, Lin Yi looked at Gong's mother, "Is there any movement outside?" ”
Gong's mother nodded, "It was the steward of the outer courtyard who found out that the people who collected Gong Er's ginseng were set on fire last night. One family was beaten, and the steward inquired about it, saying that it was a bad thing done by the bandits. ”
It began, and after a quiet day, there was finally action again. Lin Yi looked at Gong's mother, "Go and tell the manager of the outer courtyard that from now on, the family members in the house will go out as little as possible." ”
Mother Gong stopped talking for a while, and then said, "You can't blame us for beating people and setting fires." ”
How not. You must know that people who are a little powerful will indulge their subordinates to do something out of line, and the Kangjun Mansion is obviously a powerful person. Anyone who hears these words will think of her, she asked the family in the house to ask Gong Er about buying ginseng, and felt that those people did not tell the truth, so they let people go over and coerce, and refused to do what she said, burning houses and beating people. Otherwise, the people whose houses were burned would not dare to report to the officials, and only said that they had done bad things by bandits.
What do the robbers do in those barren homes? What can I grab? Someone deliberately made those people say that.
Gong's mother said: "How can we do such a thing, it's not to cover our ears and steal the bell." ”
Outsiders don't care about this. What is most lacking in Beijing is all kinds of rumors, and the women of the inner house get together to be the east and the west, but although it is a matter of the inner house, it will also be spread to the court, and it will look good when the time comes.
Gong's mother was able to calm down, but the situation is getting more and more serious, and there is no way to stop it, thinking about the worst outcome, Gong's mother is sweating.
Lin Yi said: "Don't worry, the real one is still behind, now it's messed up, and then you can only be at the mercy of others." ”
Hearing Lin Yi's calm voice, Mother Gong's flustered heart gradually stabilized.
Lin Yi got up and went back to the inner room, and then looked at the ledger on Zhuangzi. instructed Gong's mother, "Call the old housekeeper in the house, and I will ask him how to prepare for the festival of visiting relatives and friends in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year." ”
Except for the part of the living creatures in the Zhuangzi that they use for themselves, the rest will be used to move around each other. Now there are still a few months before the Chinese New Year. The Mid-Autumn Festival is at the moment, and the festival should be planned in advance, and if it is not enough, it is better to buy it.
Last year in Funing, Xiao Xiao's Mid-Autumn Festival gifts were bought less, and the livestock sent to his parents' family were very thin, and Xiao Xiao was worried that he would be disliked by his parents. In addition to the gifts, I also want to meet the head of the village. Although she didn't know how to farm, she still had to listen to the head of the village about how many seeds she kept every year, how many livestock she bought, and how many tenants she used.
No matter what happens outside, she just wants her heart to stop and not be disrupted.
Lin Yi and the steward were busy for another two hours, and when it was time to eat in the evening, Lin Yi went to Mrs. Zhou to briefly tell the story of Zhuangzi.
Old Madam Zhou laughed when she heard this. "How can you deal with the affairs of Zhuangzi so early?"
Lin Yi picked up the tea and drank it, "It's the first time I've done it, so it's slower to deal with." It is also beneficial to arrange it early, and the two Zhuangzi in Beijing are near the mountain, and I want people to plant some Chinese herbs that can be harvested quickly. When the arrangements are made, it is time for the head of the village outside Beijing to come to the house to reconcile. ”
"Why did you remember to grow Chinese herbs?"
Hearing Mrs. Zhou's question, Lin Yi looked over, "The climate in Beijing is suitable for the growth of many herbs. ”
When Lin Yi said this, Mother Shen took the post and entered the door, walked to Mrs. Zhou's side and respectfully handed it over, and Mrs. Zhou saw that it was a post from the clan camp, and smiled and waved her hand. "I'd better show it to the princess of the county."
Shen's mother hurriedly sent the post to Linyi.
Lin Yi opened it and said with a smile: "Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is about to be held, the clan camp invited us to come over to discuss." "Except for Chinese New Year's Eve, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is a day for the clan camp to gather, and the elders of the clan will lead the juniors to worship the moon.
Mrs. Zhou laughed when she mentioned this, "I think the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most interesting." The elders of the clan took the children under the age of thirteen to worship the moon, and the children raised their heads and asked the adults when Chang'e would come out. ”
Children always believe stories to be true. Isn't it easier for her and Qi Chongxuan to believe that she has a personal affair than a story. Lin Yi smiled slightly, "I'll go and prepare, and I'll go over early tomorrow morning." ”
Old Mrs. Zhou bowed her head, turned her head to look at the old lady in the inner room, and instructed Mother Shen, "It's not good if I don't go, I will go to the old house to deliver a letter and let the second wife come over tomorrow." ”
Lin Yi came out of Mrs. Zhou's house and asked Mother Gong to prepare some small gifts for the young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet.
Early the next morning, the clan camp was lively, the clan took a carriage to the ancestral house to gather, the sound of the wheels made the people on the street stay away, the weather was exceptionally good, much warmer than the previous days, Lin Yi opened the curtain and saw the low-hanging willow branches on the street, there were dolls playing in the mud on the street, the rough woman was next to the protection, from time to time whispered scolding, the woman raised her head, looked at it enviously, and then lowered her hand and touched the shabby dress on her body.
In the eyes of others, the noble background is enviable, but in fact, there are thorns all over the way, and the flesh and blood will be pierced if you are not careful. Lin Yi always liked the simple and ordinary life when she was in Funing.
The carriage stopped, and immediately someone stepped forward to serve.
Mrs. Zhou got out of the car first and was greeted by everyone into the door.
Lin Yi got out of the carriage and happened to see Lin Wan with her stomach up. Lin Wan has been pregnant for more than six months, her belly is conspicuously bulging, but her waist is still slender, and when she turns around, she can't tell that she is pregnant with a child.
Lin Wan stepped forward first and took Lin Yi's hand, "I was about to come, and when I turned my head, I saw that it was." ”
Lin Yi also talked to Lin Wan at the right time, "How is your body?" ”
Lin Wan lowered her head and smiled, "It's good, I can eat and sleep, the elders have said that it will be really uncomfortable in a few months, and I really can't go out at that time." ”
Later festivals are Chongyang, Winter Solstice and Chinese New Year's Eve. Lin Wan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't move anymore, so she couldn't participate in this kind of banquet anymore.
Lin Wan suddenly remembered, "Can the prince of the county still return to Beijing in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
"I don't know yet," Lin Yi and Lin Wan slowly walked towards the house, "I haven't heard any news back yet." ”
Lin Wan looked worried, "I heard about the third uncle, and I inquired about it from Yuanguang, saying that it was a civil official's matter, and why did it involve the prince of the county." ”
If it weren't for this in-law relationship, Zhou 19 would naturally not be able to meddle in political affairs.
Lin Yi didn't want to continue this topic, there was also a lady next to her who cared about Lin Wan's belly, and there were really many pregnant women in the clan.
Lin Wan and Lin Yi entered the door, and everyone went to salute the elders in the clan.
Princess Xin was wearing a lilac-colored peacock tail gown, looking rich and friendly, she was surrounded by people and laughing, Lin Yi sat next to her after saluting, and Princess Xin looked at Lin Yi, "Can King Kangjun come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
Everyone asked this, and Lin Yi said, "I can't say for sure." ”
Princess Xin said: "The Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival are all big festivals, and the court is on holiday, but they are all busy, and I don't know if there are really so many things." ”
Everyone laughed.
Princess Xin took this opportunity to look at Mrs. Zhou, who seemed not to notice it, and slowly drank tea.
Mrs. Zhou's Zhen also entered the door with a smile.
took the lead in saluting the princess and the elders, and laughed crisply, "A few sisters gathered around to ask about Chang'e, last year I told them nonsense that Chang'e is the world's first-class beauty, she has a pink jade rabbit in her arms, which is the most spiritual thing in the world, and whenever the moon is full, Chang'e takes the jade rabbit to the nether world to walk around." When they saw that the yard was bright, they would run to whichever house, but these children didn't sleep last year, and they lit a lot of candles in the house, and almost burned the house. ”
Old Madam Zhou looked at Zhen complainingly, "I caused trouble to Prince Xin's mansion out of thin air." ”
Zhen's face was stunned, "This year, they still remember it and ask me if the candles are not lit enough." Today's children really can't be perfunctory, one is better than the other. ”
Princess Xin couldn't help but smile when she looked at Zhen's appearance, "Just let them light candles and see if they can attract Chang'e." ”
Lin Yi glanced at Zhen, and Zhen just looked back, a faint light flashing in her eyes.
After talking for a while, everyone went their separate ways.
Prince Xin is the eldest son of Taizu, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was built, Prince Xin got this mansion, no matter which prince's mansion is not as big as Prince Xin's mansion in the future, Prince Xin divided the garden into two early in the morning, the garden on the east side is specially used for clan banquets, and all clan gatherings will come here.
Prince Xin handed over the matter of decorating the garden for the Mid-Autumn Festival to Lin Yi, the new daughter-in-law. Lin Yi and the Jiang family got together to discuss arranging a lighthouse in the garden.
Zhen followed Mrs. Zhou and talked to Prince and Princess Xin.
Everyone went to get busy, the room was quiet for a while, Prince Xin glanced at the mother-in-law beside her, the mother-in-law was busy looking at the door, and Princess Xin asked, "I heard that Princess Kangjun's companion room has made a lot of trouble these days, and I don't know what is going on." ”
Finally asked this, if it weren't for Prince Xin's mansion, Zhen would definitely laugh.
Old Madam Zhou's face remained unchanged, "I heard that he was just buying and selling herbs privately, and the princess of the county had already withdrawn his errand." ”
Knowing that Mrs. Zhou deliberately didn't say it, Zhen was still secretly anxious in her heart, for fear that Prince Xin would not ask.
Princess Xin frowned, "I heard bad words, saying that it was related to the Guozijian Siye Qi family. ”
Zhen's heart is like a fish jumping out of the water.
