Chapter 160: The Trap

Lin Yi asked Gong's mother, "When did it start?" ”

Although the aunt is not a serious mother-in-law, she still goes to say hello every day, and yesterday I didn't see anything uncomfortable with the old lady.

Gong's mother said: "I heard that it has been two or three days, and the old lady has been hiding it as a minor illness. ”

Two or three days, that is, Zhou 19 took office, and her mother's family got the title in the past few days, and Mrs. Zhou went back to the ancestral house.

Lin Yi asked the service to get dressed, and asked Gong's mother as she walked, "Did Mother Shen say what the disease was?" "When the seasons change, anyone can have a headache and brain fever.

Gong's mother said: "I didn't make it clear, the princess of the county went over every day, and there was nothing serious about it." ”

As she spoke, Lin Yi entered Mrs. Zhou's yard, and immediately a maid came up to open the curtain, and immediately a sour and vinegar smell came to her face.

Immediately afterwards, Shen's mother came out, "The princess of the county is careful of being pounced on with vinegar." ”

Lin Yi smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's just the smell of vinegar." ”

Entering the house, Lin Yi saw that Mrs. Zhou was half-lying on the soft couch, her face was not very good, and the little maid was waiting with a handkerchief.

Lin Yi stepped forward and saluted.

Old Madam Zhou hurriedly stretched out her hand and called Lin Yi to sit on the brocade next to her, "Just now I said that I would let them go to your house to smoke vinegar, so as not to get sick, and there have been more and more sick people recently." He coughed twice as he spoke, and asked him to bring the medicine of the general knowledge, and after a while, he felt comfortable.

"Last year's year was not good, and this year did not get better, I went back to the ancestral house to discuss the rent reduction for the family's Zhuangzi, and the head of the village brought the family to thank him, and he said a few more words, so he felt uncomfortable," Mrs. Zhou smiled kindly, "I don't let them tell you, people are like this when they are old." But every wind and grass must be stained on the body. ”

"How's Uncle?" Lin Yi looked into the inner room.

Old Madam Zhou sighed, "It's always good and bad." Let the Imperial Doctor come and see us, and we can rest assured," he said, pausing, "I'm old. There is always something wrong with taking care of the old lady, and I am ready to find a suitable person to help in the house. ”

Naturally, she couldn't refuse such a thing.

Lin Yi said: "Auntie, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Old Madam Zhou's jaw. "Others are not suitable, it is better to choose a domestic servant, in the past, there was a steward who went to Zhuangzi, and wanted to send his own children to the house."

Now that she already has a charter, Lin Yi said with a smile, "Auntie's arrangement is that our family will definitely not be treated badly." ”

Now it is the Zhou family who chooses people from the county king's mansion. Mrs. Zhou took the first step, and she also listened to what would happen by the way.

Mrs. Zhou said: "I'm sick and not mentally enough, you can help me watch it when the time comes." ”

Lin Yi should come down.

After the imperial doctor checked the pulse of Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, Lin Yi returned to the room and had breakfast.

Lin Yi asked Mother Gong to take out the medical books she had copied by hand in the cabinet, and then sat on the soft couch to read them.

Mother Gong said on the side: "It seems that there is no big problem, but the slave maid was startled, thinking that she was going to give the princess of the county another problem." ”

That's not necessarily, sometimes a small thing can lead to a big thing, Mrs. Zhou is a good player, and a little negligence can make people unguardable.

Lin Yi said: "Mom went to inquire." Did the Zhuangzi on the Zhou family's side reduce the rent together? ”

Mother Gong bowed her head, "The slave maid is also worried about this, Mrs. Zhou has reduced the rent, what should the princess of the county do?" The Zhuangzi that the court gave to the prince of the county before was all managed by the old lady. Everyone will inevitably make comparisons, even if the princess of the county also reduces the rent, everyone will also remember the benefits on the old lady's head. ”

In this way, in the eyes of the subordinates, it is still the old lady who is in charge of the county king's mansion. Lin Yi picked up the tea on the table and drank it, and it was not impossible to reduce the rent at the beginning of the year, so that the tenants could work in a down-to-earth manner without worries.

Gong's mother said: "Let's take precautions early." ”

"Don't be careful," Lin Yi said, "If the old lady is just kind enough to fulfill those tenants, won't we have the heart of a villain in vain." Even if the rent is reduced, it depends on the situation in Zhuangzi, and if you are led by the nose, you can't do anything. ”

Mother Gong was embarrassed when she heard this, "It's the slave who is impatient." ”

In the first year in the county king's mansion, she was not only nervous, but also these subordinates whose hearts were towards her.

Lin Yi looked at Gong's mother with a smile, "Mom is worried, these things on the bright side can be blocked, what I'm afraid of is that there are things we can't think of in the back, and my mother helps me think more, I feel a lot more relieved." ”

Mother Gong was embarrassed to hear this, "It's the princess of the county who lifts the slave family." ”

The real turmoil is yet to come. Mrs. Zhou treats the tenants well, and now the house is recruiting people again, there should be many people who want to be selected by all means, and people are the most difficult to grasp, so it is difficult to predict what is going on.

"There is another thing, the slave maid just heard," Mother Gong added tea to Lin Yi's cup with her own hands, "The Lin family was on fire last night." ”

Lin Yi's hand reaching for the teacup suddenly stopped.

It's on fire.

"What's going on?"

Mother Gong said: "Probably the dragon and phoenix candles in the new house burned to the curtain next to it, but fortunately, the next person found it early, and Uncle Lin and the fourth lady were fine." ”

Why is it so coincidental. In the previous life, Lin Zhengqing set fire, and in this life, the dragon and phoenix candles accidentally burned to the curtain.

Lin Yi looked thoughtfully at the flower dendrobium on the table, "What's going on over there with the second old lady?" ”

Mother Gong said in a low voice: "I was busy going to the Lin family to inquire about the situation, but the fourth lady only married the Lin family...... It will be about three days before I get back to the door...... to know. ”

……

At noon, Lin Yi was about to rest for a while, and the girl outside opened the curtain, and Lin Yi saw Zhou Shijiu walking in.

Lin Yi was busy putting on her shoes, "Why did the prince come back?" ”

Zhou Shijiu smiled and asked Lin Yi to take off her official robe, "It's okay in the yamen at noon, I'll come back early in the morning and sleep for a while." ”

Knowing that she didn't fall asleep yesterday, she was looking forward to catching up on sleep at noon today......

"It just so happens that you have to rest too......" Zhou Jiujiu looked at the bed that had already been made, "I'll leave in a while." ”

The white peony outside closed the door.

Zhou Shijiu took Lin Yi's hand and lay on the bed, "I saw my father-in-law go to court in the morning." ”

Lin Yi was about to get up, but when she heard this, she lay back.

"How's my father going up?"

Lin Yi listened with some caution.

Zhou 19 said: "If the emperor has the heart to use his father-in-law, he will not be angry with his father-in-law's uprightness, Yuan Yuan can rest assured, there will be no problem." ”

It's going to be fine...... The emperor arranged his father into the branch to take advantage of his father's temperament.

Zhou Shijiu looked at Lin Yi, "What is Yuan Yuan afraid of?" ”

Zhou Shijiu, who she was afraid of, must have been clear in her heart. Lin Yi's voice was soft, "My father is too upright to inevitably offend people, and the prince of the county will help people in front of him." Don't let your father do stupid things. ”

She also said such things when she didn't get married, and now she mentions it again, although it is not as blunt as before, but it is still the same politeness.

"I will." Zhou Shijiu smiled calmly, "I will remind my father-in-law from time to time." ”

That's good. I hope I won't face the same situation in my previous life again.

……

Mrs. Zhou's illness. But it was very bad for the Zhou family, everyone took turns to come to the door to see, and Lin Yi was busy entertaining guests. Chen's second wife, the Tian family, sent someone to invite Lin Yi back to her parents' house to eat Linfang's homecoming banquet, so that the Chen family's aunts could have one more chance to get acquainted with each other.

Lin Yi didn't want to go back, but this time she had more excuses to refuse.

In Mrs. Zhou's room, Mother Shen whispered: "The prince of the county is back again." ”

Mrs. Zhou's Zhen was surprised when she glanced at the hourglass, "Why did you go home at noon?" ”

Mother Shen said in a low voice: "The eldest lady doesn't know. This is the case for both days, come back at noon to rest for a while, and then go to the government in the afternoon. It can be seen that the prince of the county and the princess of the county are rare and good. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhen's mouth, "Chen's father has now inherited the title and gone to Kedao, how can the prince of the county treat the Chen family badly." ”

Mrs. Zhou picked up the tea and drank it, which was not necessarily good, on the surface, it looked the same, but it may not be the case behind closed doors.

The Zhen family seems to have seen some clues from the face of Mrs. Zhou, and now the two people of Kangjun Wang and Chen are in charge of one inside and one outside, if there is a gap between the two people. Then it's no longer that the water can't be spilled.

"The princess of the county is embroidering tassels," said Mrs. Zhou, "I heard that it is going to be presented to the queen." ”

Zhen didn't quite understand, "The Queen Mother's Jingren Palace has been deserted for many years. The favored concubine in the palace is Concubine Hui, and the Chen family wants to worship the Buddha but also went to the wrong temple gate. ”

Old Madam Zhou said lightly: "Although Concubine Hui is favored, she can't exceed her duty, and the queen doesn't ask about anything, but she is still in charge of the harem." ”

Zhen said: "But the queen has no children. ”

If you have no children, you can succeed to the queen, and the prince's status under the queen is the most noble.

In this way, it seems to have caught the future prince, and it turned out that Zhou Yuanche was playing with this idea, "But the queen doesn't ask about anything." ”

Don't ask.

Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes slightly, and asked Chen for tassel embroidery without asking about anything. Zhou Yuanche has calculated everything, not only has she made a stepping stone, but the Chen family can't say the same, but they don't know it yet.

Mrs. Zhou's Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Tuesday's Mrs. Guo took turns to serve Mrs. Zhou.

The day before Zhou Langhuan got married, Lin Yi wanted to go to Zhou's house to see if there was anything she could help with, and Guo was also about to go to congratulate him, and the two of them made a carriage together and went to the country's grandfather's house.

Zhou Langhuan's house was already full of congratulatory gifts sent by everyone, and there were more than a dozen of them just for Ruyi. In the center of the hall, the red sandalwood case is dedicated to the Ruyi and the unicorn sent by the Queen Mother.

Lin Yi and Guo put down the gifts, the Zhou family greeted Guo, and Zhou Langhuan pulled Lin Yi to the inner room to talk.

"I thought you wouldn't be here today." Zhou Langhuan's cheeks were slightly red, and her lips pursed a little nervously after she finished speaking.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Even if you don't invite me, I'm coming." ”

Zhou Langhuan couldn't care about joking with Lin Yi, "I'm in a mess here, I don't know if something will go wrong tomorrow." ”

Lin Yi deliberately looked at Zhou Langhuan with a straight face, "When did you overhear what I said when I got married?" ”

Zhou Langhuan laughed when she heard this.
