Chapter 34: A Warm Heart
Hearing Lin Jiuniang say this, Steward Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It is true that Steward Lin is Lin Zhilan's person, but he is also the steward of the entire Lin family, and his most important duty is to maintain the normal operation of the Lin family.
If Miss Nine is indomitable and Miss Fourth has to be held responsible, then there will undoubtedly be a new round of turmoil.
At present, the eldest young master is not at home, and Mrs. Lin doesn't care about anything, is it difficult to let the eldest master rule on this matter?
The eldest lord has always looked at Lin Jiuniang unpleasantly, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly, if he really lets the eldest lord rule, there is no doubt that Miss Jiu will suffer.
But if the eldest young master comes back, the eldest young master will love Miss Nine, and he will definitely be angry for Miss Nine, and then the father and son will have another vicious fight.
Of course, Steward Lin knew very well that the result of the final battle would definitely be the victory of the eldest young master. But Steward Lin also knows that the eldest master is the father of the eldest young master after all, and every time the eldest young master wins the battle, there will be no joy in his heart, and there will be endless helplessness and apology.
Miss Nine is willing to settle things, which is naturally the best result.
"Please rest assured, Miss Nine, the little one will take care of things."
Steward Lin just wanted to retreat, but Lin Jiuniang stopped him again: "If Steward Lin doesn't mind, can you do me a favor?" ”
Steward Lin hurriedly said, "Miss Nine, please speak." ”
"You spread all the results of your investigation." Lin Jiuniang said slowly, "The fourth sister can't be punished in substance, and some verbal pressure should also be put on her." ”
Steward Lin hurriedly said: "This is simple, to be honest, it's not easy to hide it, isn't it simple to spread it?" Miss Nine, don't worry! ”
In the house, the most important thing is rumors.
Most of the people in the house are women, and their monotonous life day after day basically depends on a little gossip.
There is no wind and there are still three feet of waves, let alone taking the initiative to spread rumors.
As soon as Steward Lin left, Mama Han hurriedly said, "Miss Nine, then forget about this matter?" Regardless of Mama Wang's incident for the time being, it is clear that the fourth lady is instigating the crane! ”
"Mama, you are stupid to me, don't you understand this?" Lin Jiuniang smiled bitterly, "It's just, even if you find out, what can you do with her?" As long as she refuses to admit it, who can do anything to her? After all, she is the eldest lady of the Lin family, do you think that the Lin family will really punish a concubine for the sake of me, an illegitimate daughter? ”
Mama Han didn't understand this truth, slowly eased her emotions, and said: "But you have the support of the eldest young master, even if you can't punish her severely, at the very least, you have to teach her a lesson!" ”
"I don't want to trouble my eldest brother anymore." Lin Jiuniang decisively rejected Mama Han's proposal, "If the eldest brother really teaches the fourth sister a lesson, I am afraid that the eldest lady will make a big fuss with the eldest brother again, and then it will inevitably be another turmoil, and the sister-in-law will be unhappy." ”
She sighed softly and said, "I was originally a superfluous person in this family, and my eldest brother kindly let me enter the door of the Lin family, even if I don't repay the favor, can I still make trouble for him?" ”
Mama Han was still a little entangled, and paused and said, "Then Miss Nine, that's it?" It's too cheap for them, isn't it? ”
Lin Jiuniang smiled and said, "That's why I asked Steward Lin to spread the results of the investigation, and the pressure of speech is sometimes more terrifying." In the face of the rumors, I think the fourth sister will have two reactions. One is to temporarily converge and avoid the limelight. If she relents, then I can also stop for a while and take care of the Pleasant Courtyard. Another is that she will intensify her efforts and want to kill me all at once. If that's the case, I'm not afraid, the bigger her movements, the more flaws she has, and the greater the possibility of exposure. ”
Anyway, Lin Siniang is just a teenager, and she is a person who has already died once.
Do you need to be afraid of her?
Seeing that Mama Han was still frowning, Lin Jiuniang said again: "Mama, in another month, it will be the old lady's sixtieth birthday." ”
Mama Han's face suddenly turned clear, and she smiled: "Really? That Miss Nine has to prepare well, the eldest young master usually has few days at home, if he can get the protection of the old lady, it will be good! ”
Lin Jiuniang said with a smile: "The old lady loves to be quiet, and she has always been long-lived, but for the filial piety of all her children, she will receive a birthday gift every year, and at the same time, the old lady will also return the gift." ”
Mama Han became interested and asked, "Miss Jiu, what kind of birthday gifts did you give in previous years?" ”
Lin Jiuniang scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "In the past, the eldest brother prepared it for me every year, which was nothing more than a jade Guanyin statue, a Buddhist scripture made of gold leaf, and so on. ”
Mama Han said: "I'm afraid that the old lady can also see that this is a birthday gift prepared by the eldest young master for you, right?" ”
Lin Jiuniang sighed: "Yes, but the old lady has never broken it, and every time she gives me a gift as usual." Mama Han, can you help me think about it, what kind of birthday gift should I give to the old lady this time? ”
"Naturally, it is something that is not valuable in money, but it is valuable in the heart." Mama Han thought for a while and said, "On the 60th birthday of the emperor, King Yuhua Zhen gave him a cushion with a backrest embroidered by himself. ”
Lin Jiuniang said with a smile: "My embroidery skills are unremarkable, but my handwriting is okay." ”
Mama Han said: "That is the case, Miss Nine might as well copy a copy of the Buddhist scriptures and give it to the old lady, one is to cater to the old lady's preferences, and the other is to show your filial piety - the more copies the better." ”
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.
Lin Jiuniang said: "Come in." ”
flashed into a pretty figure, it was the falling winter.
Luo Dong said with a smile: "Miss Jiu, I heard that Yuxuan is here, and I asked you what you want to eat at noon." ”
Lin Jiuniang said casually: "Whatever, what to eat." By the way, didn't you let you rest, where did everyone else go, and you still have to come and talk to me about this little thing. ”
Luo Dong blinked his eyes and said, "Sister Suochun, Sister Zhixia and Sister Qiuqiu seem to have something on their minds, so I'm here." ”
Lin Jiuniang and Mama Han exchanged glances.
Mama Han comprehended, waved her hand at Luodong and said, "Luodong, you go out first, Miss Nine and I still have something to discuss." ”
Luo Dong didn't doubt him, closed the door, and limped out.
Mama Han said solemnly: "Miss Nine, the entire Yixin Courtyard will be able to stay in winter, and the rest, I'm afraid it's best to send them away and replace them with new people." - These people are too active. I can't keep it up, and what will happen in the future. ”
Seeing that Lin Jiuniang didn't react, Mama Han said again: "Miss Jiu, don't worry, when the newcomers come, I can train them one by one, and keep them honest." ”
Lin Jiuniang smiled reluctantly, but did not follow Mama Han's words.
Mama Han suddenly regretted it.
How to say that Suo Chun Zhixia and Miss Nine have a friendship for several years, even if they are not right to divide the money privately, but Miss Nine is used to being generous, and may not take it seriously at all.
And she is just a grandmother who has only been here for a few days, so she bluntly suggested that Miss Nine send all the maids out, Miss Nine will not suspect that she has other selfish intentions?
Lin Jiuniang saw that Mama Han's face changed, so she hurriedly said: "Mama, don't be careful, I naturally know that Mama is for my good." It's just that Suo Chun and they have been with me for many years, even if they want to be sent, they can't be in a hurry. ”
Mama Han sneered: "Yes, it's my wife who is too talkative." ”
"What are you talking about?" Lin Jiuniang said with a straight face, "I couldn't be happier that Mama can say something straight in front of me, because you can trust me, so you will say such heart-wrenching words to me." Otherwise, you can be with the mud and not offend people, anyway, with your identity, where can you not find a good errand, so why follow me, a concubine, everywhere to get angry......"
This speech made Mama Han's heart warm, her eyes were hot, and she couldn't help but say: "What did Miss Nine say, as a slave, you are not afraid of being angry with others, and what you are most afraid of is being angry with your master." Miss Nine looks up to my wife, and my wife will do her best to protect Miss Nine! ”
