Chapter 14: Eavesdropping
Linglong outside the window was startled, turned around and almost bumped into Mother Bai behind her.
Mother Bai seemed to smile, "It's windy here, the girl just warmed up, be careful of catching a cold." ”
The six upper rooms of the old lady's Nian Ci Hall in the long room are surrounded by the corridor of copying hands, and next to the corridor are three wings, and a piece of green bamboo is planted next to the wings.
Linglong saluted Mother Bai, pointed to the green bamboo forest, glanced over there quickly, lowered her head and clutched the corner of her clothes, "I accidentally wet the corners of my clothes while serving tea to Miss Six just now, so I wanted to come to the porch to blow the wind." ”
Mother Bai glanced down, and the corners of her delicate clothes were really wet.
Mother Bai sank her eyes, making it impossible to see the expression on her face, "It's not ......" said and turned to look at Bai Shao, "Go get a clean towel and wipe the dress for the Linglong girl." ”
Bai Shao replied and hurriedly retreated.
……
It's not good to blow the wind somewhere, so I ran to the window of the old lady in the long room and was caught by Mother Bai.
Lin Fang, who was standing by the pool and watching the koi, couldn't help but smile, I don't know if it was the six girls who instructed the maid to eavesdrop, or the clumsy girl accidentally bumped into the blade. I can't tell how many mouths I have now, thinking of this, Lin Fang's stuffiness just now due to the tassel embroidery was swept away at once.
Linglong dried her clothes before walking back in embarrassment.
Before Lin Yi could ask, the red apricot beside Lin Fang sneered and sneered, "Sister Linglong's first time coming to the long room, don't run around, we are subordinates to learn to look at the height of the eyebrows, so that we can have insight into things big and small, otherwise we will make mistakes ourselves, and it will be a big matter if we implicate Miss." ”
The girl next to Miss Fourth couldn't even say a word when she saw them on weekdays, but now when she saw her mistake, she raised her head and reprimanded endlessly.
But at the moment, she really didn't have anything to argue, Linglong's shoulders fell and she just listened quietly.
After Hongxing said this, she was about to open her mouth, and suddenly saw a sharp gaze and was suddenly startled, and raised her head to see Miss Six looking at her quietly, "When did you enter the Chen family?" ”
Hongxing didn't understand for a while, so she had to reply honestly, "I've bought it since I was a child." ”
Lin Yi smiled slightly, "No wonder." It turned out that it was not a child. ”
It's not a child, Miss Six is saying that she doesn't understand the rules...... Hongxing glanced at Linfang, and Linfang's face was also a little ugly.
This matter was originally Hongxing's mistake, the two masters were present and it was not the turn of a subordinate to speak, Lin Yi said that she had nothing to refute, Linfang rolled her eyes and looked at Hongxing, "It's that I'm too good on weekdays, so I raised you girls with broken mouths." Hongxing didn't dare to make another mistake, bowed her head and took a step back.
Lin Fang smiled and said, "Sixth sister, don't care. ”
Lin Yi also smiled and looked back, "The fourth sister is serious. ”
Lin Fang and Lin Yi stood for a while and felt bored, so they simply took people back to the main house.
Linglong dared to raise her head and speak, "The sixth lady speaks for the slave maid, in case the fourth miss sues the young lady in the second old lady, won't the slave and the maid cause trouble for the young lady." ”
Lin Yi looked down at the waterfowl grabbing food, and in the end, she could only retreat step by step, "What did the fourth sister sue me?" Sue me for being rude to protect the maid? "Hongxing reprimanded Linglong, what would she say when she was seen by the people in the long room? Even Linfang's maid can bully her, let alone others. Lin Fang is smart and naturally calms things, how could she go to the second old lady Dong to complain.
Only then did Linglong understand what Lin Yi meant, "Miss is right, why didn't the slave think of it." ”
Lin Yi smiled faintly, with a calm expression with composure and steady, the second old lady Dong wanted to pretend to be kind to her in front of her, she naturally wanted to take advantage of this, "Did Mother Bai see it?" ”
Linglong nodded, "See." ”
That's good.
……
Mother Bai walked quickly into the inner room, and the old lady in the long room held the bracelet of the Eighteen Arhats of Rosewood and leaned firmly on the soft back.
Lin Jiao next to her couldn't help but ask, "Is it the girl next to the sixth sister?" ”
Mother Bai said in a low voice: "It's by Miss Six's side." ”
The old lady of the long room raised her eyes.
Mother Bai stepped forward again and said in a low voice: "The slave maid was standing not far from the window, but I didn't expect the sixth lady's girl Linglong to come over, and the slave maid heard the old lady talking about the third master, so she coughed, but Linglong quietly pointed to the green bamboo forest with the slave maid. ”
Pointing to the green bamboo forest, who did you see?
Lin Jiao picked up the small tea crane with a yellow background and pastel, and was about to pour tea, but she stopped when she heard this. She thought it was the sixth sister's maid who overheard her grandmother talking to her, but she didn't expect anything else.
"The slave saw that it was Tinglan."
Tingzhu and Tinglan are second-class maids next to the old lady in the long house, and Tingzhu has recently been promoted to the first class, and Tinglan is still second-class and stays outside the house to listen to errands.
The old lady of the long room laughed, "It's actually her." I blamed her for looking clever in the past, but now she is so absent-minded, it turns out that her mind has been used in the second room. After speaking, he glanced at Mother Bai, "You and I are both old and dizzy, and we can't compare to a teenage girl." ”
The second-class maids around her were all bought by the second room, no wonder the second room knew everything about her side clearly.
Mother Bai said, "What should I do now?" ”
The old lady of the long room straightened up from the soft lean, "Don't worry, let someone look at her, when will she report to the second room and who will pass by, I will find out her, I will be useful in the future." ”
White mom should come down.
Lin Jiao's face was full of shame, "I asked Tinglan to help embroider the strips of clothes before, but I didn't even notice it." ”
The old lady of the long room said: "I don't blame you, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and they can't know if they are too close, but they are rare and clever of the six girls." Yun Yuan is too upright and Xiao Shi is blindly weak, and he can give birth to such a smart daughter. ”
"It's just a pity," Lin Jiao sighed, "I'm afraid that the third uncle will be impeached in a few days, and there is ironclad evidence in Fujian, so this crime will naturally affect his wife and young." We want to help, but now we are also powerless. ”
The old lady of the long room was silent when she read the red sandalwood beads in her hand, and said after a while: "Your third uncle may have offended many people in Fujian, and he has already been targeted after the exam this time." The second old lady has some ways in Beijing over the years, but she won't help but add fuel to the fire. ”
Lin Jiao couldn't think of a way for a while, "Otherwise, let the husband tell the third uncle thoroughly, and the third uncle can't think of a way to do it himself." ”
Yunyuan? That's a stubborn temper, how he doesn't know the situation in Fujian, but he refuses to bow his head even if he dies, if he tells him these in advance, he will be one step ahead of Yushi, and it will be difficult to find someone to protect him.
"Otherwise......" Lin Jiao remembered again, "what about marriage?" When the sixth sister is old enough to be able to say goodbye, according to her granddaughter, she should look at this matter early, otherwise the old lady in the second room will not only obey the sixth sister. ”
Whether it is a noble family or a powerful clan, they all rely on marriage to support each other, and if you want to have a relationship with them, you can't do it without this preparation.
The matter of in-laws is also in a hurry.
The old lady in the long room closed her eyes and looked at Lin Jiao, "Go and say a few words to the second old lady before leaving, so as not to be picked on." ”
Lin Jiao got up and went out.
The old lady in the long room turned her head and instructed Mother Bai, "Call the six girls." ”
Mother Bai smiled and went to find Lin Yi, Lin Yi led Linglong into the inner room, and the old lady in the long room asked her to bring a plate of golden silk fruit for Lin Yi to taste.
Lin Yi picked up a piece and ate it, it was sour and sweet.
The old lady of the long room kindly called Mother Bai, "Wrap some for Linfang and Linyi to take back to eat." ”
Lin Yi thanked the old lady in the long room.
The old lady in the long room waved her hand to let Lin Yi sit closer, and carefully looked at Lin Yi.
How many years without seeing each other is always very rusty, the old lady of the long room is different from the Dong family, and her eyes are more concerned than scrutinized.
"She looks handsome, and she will be more beautiful in a few years, better than Lin Wan and Lin Fang."
When the old lady of the long room said this, Lin Yi's face turned red.
After all, she is young, and when she relaxes, she also reveals a little bit of her little daughter's coquettishness. Poor Lin Yi and Brother Heng, the two children, suffered a lot with the third child in Fujian. The old lady of the long room thought like this, her eyes became warmer, "Sixth girl, if you want to make up for that tassel embroidery, can you make it up?" ”
Lin Yi nodded truthfully, "It's always going to make up for it," Speaking of this, Lin Yi raised her head, "Sister Tingzhu beside my grandmother has small and flexible hands, I will tell Sister Tingzhu about the embroidery method of light and dark embroidery, and Sister Tingzhu can make it up." ”
The old lady in the long room smiled slightly, it was rare for this child to be serious, and she knew that the things brought outside The young lady in the boudoir could not do it easily. The second old lady, Dong, as an elder, is so impatient.
"When you have time, you can teach and listen to bamboo."
Lin Yi responded with a smile.
The old lady of the long room nodded with satisfaction, "You don't know a lot of things when you first come to the capital, and the ladies and relatives always have some eye-catching gifts for each other, if you have time, you might as well prepare some," she said again, "Etiquette can be learned?" ”
Lin Yi nodded, "Learned." ”
The old lady of the long room was very pleased, "Your stepmother Xiao is a loving mother, and she should teach you no badly, and I also look forward to you having a good future." ”
Brother Heng and she also regard Xiao as their biological mother.
"Your second aunt is a layman, and she often goes out to preach and knows many people, and if you often see her, you will naturally know some about the things in the capital."
The old lady of the long room was teaching her to pay attention to her second aunt Tian's every move.
After just a few words with Lin Yi, the old lady in the long room felt more relaxed than ever. On weekdays, he and Linjiao always have to be meticulous in their words, so that Linjiao can understand eight points. Now she just wants to mention Lin Yi a few words, but Lin Yi understands it thoroughly.
"Uncle Grandmother," Lin Yi picked up the brocade blanket and covered it with the old lady in the long room, "Eat less Tianwang Heart Tonifying Pill, it contains cinnabar and is not good for people, Uncle Grandmother is sick all year round, if you always let a Lang Zhong come to see, it is better to try it again." ”
The six girls persuaded her to visit famous doctors.
The old lady of the long room looked at Lin Yi with a smile, "Grandmother Uncle is already old. "Half of the people buried in the loess, and there are no children around them, and they just live to live.
Thinking of this, the old lady of the long house heard a crisp voice in her ears, "Grandmother Uncle is not old, and this family still has to count on Grandmother Uncle." ”
And count on her. The old lady of the long room was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. The sixth girl saw clearly, and now she can't let go.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Bai Shao entered the house and saluted: "The word came from the second room, and the second master fell off the horse." ”
Second Master...... Brother.
