Mrs. Lin is sixty years old this year, and although she has silver hair, her face is still very young, and she looks like she is in her early fifties.

She has been concentrating on practicing Buddhism in the past few years, and she has long since asked about the Lin family's housework, but she will ask Mama Qin next to her to inquire about what happened to the Lin family's family every day, and she has never fallen behind for a day, so although she has never left the Qingxin Hall, in fact, she understands the major and minor affairs of the Lin family clearly.

"You mean, the fourth girl asked the little maid in the stable to manipulate the ninth girl's carriage, trying to frame her for not coming back in time, so as to tarnish her reputation?"

Old Mrs. Lin put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and opened her eyes.

Mama Qin said in a low voice: "Yes, now there is a discussion outside, saying that not only did the fourth girl let people do something for the ninth girl's carriage, but also found bandits outside, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of the ninth girl to worship her biological mother and put her to death!" ”

"Nonsense...... "Old Lady Lin sneered, "I've found bandits and want to kill the Ninth Girl, why does she have to do this extra thing, what do you do to the Ninth Girl's carriage?" ”

Mama Qin smiled and said, "I think so, some people say that the ninth girl fainted that night, and it was also the fourth girl's hand." ”

"What did Steward Lin say?"

Mama Qin said cautiously: "Steward Lin has found out the matter, the carriage of the ninth girl is indeed the hand and foot of a little girl called Minghe in the stable, and this Minghe has an affair with the big girl Begonia next to the fourth girl, and then ...... He didn't find out either. The other two things really have nothing to do with the four girls, one is the mother-in-law in the small kitchen of Yixinyuan, and the other is ...... Old lady, these four girls are still girls who haven't left the cabinet, where can they get the ability to mobilize bandits? ”

Old Lady Lin pondered for a moment, and then said, "What is the reaction of the nine girls?" ”

Mama Qin said with a smile: "This nine girls have changed their temperament, if they were to change to before, she would definitely have to make a big fuss, but this time she took the initiative to say to Steward Lin that she didn't want to pursue it anymore, and peace is precious." ”

"Oh, really?" Mrs. Lin was slightly surprised, "She really has such a big belly?" ”

Mama Qin sighed with emotion: "Anyway, she is also the future wife of the prince, so she should understand something about it." ”

Mrs. Lin stared out of the window with heavy eyes and said, "No matter how sensible she is, she is also an illegitimate daughter, and she can't be on the stage." ”

Mama Qin couldn't help asking, "Old lady, when the eldest young master insisted on marrying the ninth girl into the Hou Mansion, why didn't you stop it?" If then......"

"Hey, it's the lesser of two evils."

Old Mrs. Lin stood up, walked to the window, and said softly: "If you don't marry the ninth girl, then you can only marry the fourth girl-it is better to marry the fourth girl than to marry the ninth girl, so I didn't interfere in this matter." ”

At this time, Mama Qin was a little confused.

"Old lady, how can the fourth girl be inferior to the ninth girl? The fourth girl is a concubine, and if she marries, our Lin family will look better. Besides, the four girls are still taught by the eldest wife, and no one cares about these nine girls when they are young, and this upbringing is far worse than the four girls. As soon as Mama Qin's words fell, she remembered that Lin Siniang had calculated Lin Jiuniang just now, and quickly shut up.

Seeing her face change, Old Lady Lin guessed her thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "Then let me ask you, what will happen if the fourth girl marries into the Hou Mansion?" It's okay if she doesn't get favored, but if she does, the eldest lady's tail won't rise to the sky? In the future, if there is another man and half woman, do you think the big house can still be as peaceful as it is now? ”

Mama Qin was stunned for a long time, and then she reacted and said, "It turns out that you are afraid of ......"

"Yes." Mrs. Lin let out a long sigh, "I don't know what sins I created in my previous life, none of the two sons of the Lin family are promising." If it weren't for Youzhilan, I am afraid that the Lin family would have fallen now. Anyway, as long as I, an old woman, is in the day, I have to protect it for a day. The eldest daughter-in-law is a shallow one-eyed, although she did not give birth to a son, but there are still a few concubines in the big house, and it is difficult to ensure that she does not fight the idea of concubines. If she really gains power, I'm afraid that our Lin family will really not have a good life. ”

Mama Qin is the old man of the Lin family, and she is very clear about Xiao Wu's temper, so she also echoed: "What the old lady said is, if you want to say it, it is still the previous eldest lady......

"Not really." Mrs. Lin said faintly angrily, "If you want to say that Diyin's child is really good, good-looking, and good-tempered, let me, a mother, say a word that I don't like, she married Dongya, she was wronged by her." It's a pity that I left too early...... If she is still here, how can there be such a miasma at home. ”

Mama Qin helped Mrs. Lin sit on the kang, poured another cup of warm tea, and served it in front of Mrs. Lin with both hands: "Don't think about it too much, fortunately, Brother Jue is angry, in a few years, maybe you can start to take care of the Lin family's business like the eldest young master back then." When the time comes, our Lin family's business will definitely be more prosperous. ”

At the mention of Lin Shijue, Mrs. Lin's face was suddenly overflowing with a smile.

"Indeed, my old woman is still waiting for Brother Jue to marry a wife and have children, and to be a grandmother." Old Mrs. Lin just stretched her eyebrows, but she tightened her brows again, "I'm afraid that the person behind the scenes who let the little girl do something to the carriage of the ninth girl is really the fourth girl, if it weren't for her, it would be the eldest daughter-in-law...... They didn't succeed this time, but I'm afraid there will be a next time. ”

Mama Qin persuaded: "The ninth girl has her own housekeeper Lin and grandmother to take care of her, so don't bother with it......"

Old Lady Lin didn't speak again, just caged her hands and slowly half-closed her eyes.

Mama Qin knew that Mrs. Lin was tired, so she slowly helped her to lie down and covered her with a thin quilt.

Seeing that the old lady's breathing gradually became even, Mama Qin walked out of the house lightly and closed the door again.

Qingxin Hall is not big, except for Mrs. Lin, there are only four grandmothers, Qin, Li, Zhang, and Song.

Mama Qin was originally Mrs. Lin's dowry maid, she was never married in her life, she has accompanied Mrs. Lin for decades, and she has always been loyal, so although she is not outstanding in intelligence and knowledge, and her ability to do things is not outstanding, Mrs. Lin has always relied on her the most and trusted her the most.

Mama Qin is four years younger than Mrs. Lin, and she is also fifty-six years old this year. In recent years, as she has grown older, Mama Qin's thoughts have become more and more.

It is said that she is the most powerful grandmother by Mrs. Lin's side, no matter whether Mrs. Lin is there or not, the Lin family will provide for her and send her to the end, and they will definitely not treat her badly.

But it is said that the fallen leaves return to the roots, Mrs. Lin's original surname is Wen, her ancestors are from Qizhou, and Mama Qin is also from Qizhou, and she came to Fuzhou with Mrs. Lin more than 40 years ago. Mrs. Lin did not have a good time in her mother's house when she was a girl, and she rarely contacted her mother's family after she got married.

Mrs. Lin has a son and a grandson under her knees, and her parents have long since passed away, so she doesn't have much concern for her mother's family. But Mama Qin is different, she has never married in her life, has no husband and no children, and the older she gets, the more she cares about her parents' relatives.

However, it was not good for her to mention this matter in front of Mrs. Lin.

After all, Qizhou Mountain is far away, so it is not because he misses his relatives, so let the Lin family work and move the people.

Mama Qin made up her mind, Mrs. Lin will serve for a day when she is there, if Mrs. Lin is not there one day, then she will go back to Qizhou, see her homeland, see her old people.

Therefore, she has always treated Lin Zhilan very politely, so that if one day, Lin Zhilan can make it convenient for her and take care of her more.

"I don't know how these days passed so quickly, and a lifetime passed like this......" Mama Qin muttered softly.

The scene when I accompanied the young lady to marry in Fuzhou seemed to be yesterday, but it has been more than 40 years in the blink of an eye.

The once beautiful flowers have completely disappeared in the passing years.
