Chapter 17: My Daughter's Heart
"I have a good friend since I was a child, but my mother disagreed, my mother said that with him, there will be no big profit in my life, and my deed of sale is still in the Lin family."
Suo Chun wrung his fingers, and his voice was like a gnat.
Lin Jiuniang frowned and said: "Suo Chun, the deed of sale is not a problem, as long as you are willing, I can give it to you at any time." ”
Suo Chun smiled bitterly: "Miss Jiu, I know this, you are generous and kind, if I ask, you will definitely give me the deed of sale." But out of the Lin family, what else can I live on? Without my subsidy, how could my mother's family survive? ”
Lin Jiuniang was silent.
"A few days ago, the news that you were going to get engaged to the prince of Zhongyong Hou spread, and my mother also heard the rumors, and she was as happy as something. She plans to let me follow you to the Hou Mansion in the future, and wants me to ......"
Mama Han understood it and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Suo Chun is hardworking and hardworking, has a gentle temperament, and it is good to be a maid, but she has a mediocre appearance and a somewhat wooden personality, and she is not too good at things, and there is no trace of style. What's more, when Lin Jiuniang married into the Hou Mansion, Suo Chundu was twenty-three, a few years older than the prince Bai Xiuyang.
Where did Suo Chun's mother get her confidence to let her daughter climb the high branch of the Marquis of Zhongyong?
Lin Jiuniang said in a deep voice: "Then what do you think?" ”
Suo Chun mourned: "Miss Jiu, I have a few catties and a few taels, and I know it very well." I am naturally happy that Miss Nine can get engaged to the prince, but I don't want to follow you to the Hou Mansion. My mother was fascinated by phlegm, and she only wanted me to have a rich future, and she forced me to agree to her. I had no choice but to answer her first, but I was very sad in my heart - how long could he wait for me? He is eighteen years old this year, and sooner or later he will marry a daughter-in-law! ”
Mama Han asked, "Who is your friend?" ”
Suo Chun's pale cheeks suddenly flew up two red clouds.
She slowly lowered her head and said, "Yes...... It is a descendant of my village, the fourth son of the Qin family, whose name is Qin Jiming. ”
Mama Han asked again, "How is the family situation?" ”
Suo Chun said again: "Family background...... It's solid, it's much better than my family. My mother worked in his house, so I have known him since childhood. ”
The more Lin Jiuniang listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Then can his family agree to your affair with him?" ”
Suo Chun bit his lip and shook his head sadly: "Naturally, I don't agree." His mother disliked me for being a girl, and she hated my family for being poor. What's more, he won the show again last year...... The matchmaker in the village almost broke the threshold of his house. I knew that I was not worthy of him, and I wanted to end this bad relationship, but who knows, but he quietly told me that I would not marry. ”
The more Mama Han listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and frowned: "Why don't you marry?" Do you see each other often? ”
Lin Jiuniang hurriedly said: "The rules I set, the eldest girl can take a day off every five days, and she can go home to have a look." ”
Mama Han looked at Lin Jiuniang incredulously and said, "What? One day off every five days? ”
"yes." Lin Jiuniang said seriously, "I am the only master in Yixin Courtyard, and there are eight maids and four mothers-in-law below, how can I use so many people." So I thought, everyone has a family, if you can't go back often, your heart is also worried, it's better to go back often, there is nothing to do at home, and your heart will be at ease. ”
Mama Han frowned, and looked at Lin Jiuniang with blazing eyes.
It seems that although Miss Nine is young and intelligent, she has lost her mother since she was a child, and she is not treated by her mother-in-law, so that she doesn't even understand the most basic house rules.
Treat subordinates with leniency and severity, but this leniency can never be so lenient that subordinates can go home at will and meet with their families.
Since the maid has signed the deed of sale, it means that they must work hard for the Lin family, and they must be 100% loyal to the Lin family and their master. What they think about every day should be how to be loyal to their masters and how to work hard for their masters.
Allowing the subordinates to go home and visit their families at will not only enhance the connection between the subordinates and the family, but also distract the subordinates and allow them to focus more on their families.
What's more, there are many people, who can guarantee that when people go home, they will not hear anything that they should not hear, and what thoughts they should not think?
It's okay if it's a family, but the maids and daughters-in-law in Yixin Courtyard are not family-borns, and their families have no connection with the Lin family, if any of them have any crooked thoughts......
Thinking of this, Mama Han said with a straight face: "Miss Nine, forgive the old slave for saying more, the rules of Yixin Courtyard should be changed!" ”
Lin Jiuniang was thinking about Suo Chun, when Mama Han said this, she didn't react for a while, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask, "What's wrong?" ”
Mama Han just wanted to speak, but when she saw Suo Chun grieving on the side, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and only said lightly: "It's a long story, let's talk about it!" ”
Suo Chun wiped his tears and sobbed: "It's all my fault, which makes Miss Nine embarrassed!" ”
Lin Jiuniang took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it over, sighing: "It doesn't matter if I'm embarrassed, it's just Suochun, there is a sentence you may not like to hear, this marriage needs to be the right person, Gao Pan, it's just a temporary scenery, and there will be endless hardships in the future." In my opinion, if the Qin family's parents don't accept you, just because Qin Jiming is sincere to you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to last long. ”
Suo Chun's face turned white, and he couldn't help biting his lip, his eyes wandering.
Mama Han saw Suo Chun's thoughts, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
What Lin Jiuniang said just now is not unreasonable, and Mama Han also agrees that marriage needs to be the right person, otherwise it will be difficult to last long. However, Lin Jiuniang herself and Bai Xiuyang are very incorrect, Lin Jiuniang said this, how can she convince Suo Chun?
Suo Chun is at least in love with Qin Jiming, but Lin Jiuniang and Bai Xiuyang don't know each other, and they don't have the slightest affection at all.
Mama Han was thinking about it, and then heard Lin Jiuniang say: "I know, you are afraid that something like this will happen today, I don't know what kind of gossip will spread, if Qin Jiming's parents hear about it, they will be even more reluctant to let you in." However, it has happened, and instead of crying and feeling sorry for yourself, it is better to think about how to solve the problem. ”
Suo Chun sobbed: "I have a cheap life, it doesn't matter. I'm afraid that there will be those who have a heart to make a big fuss about this matter and slander Miss Nine's reputation. ”
Lin Jiuniang smiled lightly and said, "Whoever likes to say it, let whoever says it, what's the use of me asking for that Laoshizi Qingyu?" Anyway, my background alone is enough for them to chew on the root of their tongues for a lifetime. Suochun, don't panic, don't be afraid, because that's useless. The more panicked and scared you are, the more others will bully you. What we have to do is not to send ourselves to someone else's chopping block, and as long as we are not on their own chopping block, why should we be afraid that they will raise their knives? ”
Mama Han was shocked in her heart, and couldn't help but raise her head and take Lin Jiuniang seriously.
The eyebrows and eyes are still immature, but there is no innocence in his expression, and his words are more wise, as if he has gone through the world.
Is this really a nine-year-old girl?
