Before you know it, it's time to make dinner.

But there was no smoke in the chimney of the kitchen.

The big girl walked to the small kitchen with some confusion, and as soon as she walked to the door, the chatter in the small kitchen immediately stopped abruptly.

Everyone in the small kitchen looked at the door, and when they saw that it was autumn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Qiu was a little inexplicable: "What are you talking about, why don't you take me to listen?" ”

Mama Wang in the small kitchen said with a bitter face: "I don't know what's wrong with Miss Jiu, I have to let our food come according to the rules of the house, so that the extra five or six taels of silver I get every month will be gone." Alas, what can be done? ”

Ji Qiu puffed up his mouth and said: "We have a lot of monthly expenses every month, it's enough, and besides, you didn't save five or six taels of extra money every month, won't you be tight all of a sudden?" ”

Mama Li glanced at Qiuqiu, and said half-yin and immolar: "Miss Qiuqiu, you have only one younger brother in your family, your mother was sick a few years ago, and she sold you to the Lin family in order to change the medicine money, but now your mother's illness has been cured, the family has no burden, and the days are getting more and more spacious. How can it be like me, I was widowed early, and I have three boys to bring and an old lady to raise, how can I rely on that idea alone? ”

Qiu Qiu thought about it, then lowered her head and said, "But, Miss Nine didn't do anything wrong......"

Mama Li said angrily: "You are a big girl with a head and a face next to Miss Jiu, Miss Pingsu Jiu is happy, and she will definitely not reward you less." But how can we, who haven't seen Miss Nine for ten days and half a month, have such an opportunity? Miss Qiuqiu, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk. ”

Qiu Qiu sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say.

Mama Li leaned over again, squeezed out a smile and said, "Otherwise, Miss Qiuqiu will say a word for us in front of Miss Nine, let's follow the previous rules." ”

Ji Qiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not good, I won't help you say this." ”

With that, he turned around and ran out.

Seeing this, Mama Li spat on the ground fiercely.

Mama Wang, who was on the side, said worriedly: "Should she go to complain to Miss Nine?" ”

Mama Li shook her head and said, "No, Miss Qiuqiu is a timid and afraid of things, and she won't sue us." The girl Suochun probably wanted to go to the Hou Mansion with Miss Jiu, for fear of making Miss Nine unhappy, as soon as Miss Nine spoke, she was busy talking to the young grandmother. Alas, I don't know if Miss Nine really goes to the Hou Mansion, what can we do with the people, can't we all take us to the Hou Mansion? But if we don't go to the Hou Mansion, then where else can the Lin family accommodate us? ”

Mama Wang sighed and said, "Who knows, maybe, the eldest young master will transfer us to Tingyu Xuan." ”

Mama Li said disapprerovingly: "Even if the eldest young master transfers us to Tingyuxuan, do you think the eldest young grandma can tolerate us?" The young grandmother didn't say anything, but she was afraid that she hated Miss Nine in her heart. ”

Mama Cao, who had been silent, hurriedly walked to the door of the small kitchen, looked twice, turned around and whispered, "Be careful!" ”

Mama Li reluctantly closed her mouth and rolled her eyes.

Mama Li and Mama Cao were busy, leaving Mama Wang alone to stay in front of the stove to burn the fire.

Mama Wang recalled Mama Li's words just now, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not a taste.

Five or six taels a month is gone, who can not feel distressed?

The situation in Mama Wang's family is actually worse than Mama Li's family, although Mama Li is a widowed mother with three children, but the children are old after all, and they can also help to do some work, but Mama Wang's family has a younger brother who is good at gambling, like a bottomless pit, constantly sucking Mama Wang's blood.

At the beginning, Lin Zhilan specially went outside to buy people to serve Lin Jiuniang, in order to open up a quiet world for Lin Jiuniang, so the requirement was to be local, innocent, and diligent.

But things are always changing, three years ago, Mama Wang's younger brother started gambling, and Mama Wang hid from her husband's family and secretly used extra money to supplement her brother.

Now, this windfall is suddenly cut off, what can be done?

......

At this moment, Steward Lin was standing respectfully in front of Lin Jiuniang, and said with a smile: "The eldest young master ordered before going out, let me arrange a carriage to send Miss Jiu out for a trip." Now that the carriage and entourage have been arranged, may I ask which day Miss Nine would like to travel? ”

Lin Jiuniang politely asked Suo Chun to bring a stool, and let Zhixia serve tea and snacks, and said slowly: "Which day do you think is convenient?" I've been idle for a while, any day. ”

Steward Lin was a little surprised, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Then tomorrow, the weather has been fine recently, which is suitable for travel." If you are a follower, I have arranged for you ten family members, all of whom are faithful and reliable, and I have prepared things for you. ”

Lin Jiuniang nodded, and said with a slight smile: "I'm tired of you, this Lin family depends on you up and down, and you have to worry about this little thing for me." In the past, Jiuniang was young and ignorant, and she offended you a lot, and I hope that you have a lot of adults, and don't be like my child. ”

Steward Lin was flattered, and waved his hand again and again: "Miss Nine is serious. ”

Lin Jiuniang personally took out an ancient painting from the Duobao Pavilion and handed it to Steward Lin's hand: "This "Snow Ji Map" is a birthday gift from my eldest brother when I had my birthday two years ago. As you know, I don't know how to write and ink, and it's a waste to have such a good painting in my hands. I heard that Ling Lang is good at Danqing, and today I will transfer this painting to him, which can be regarded as not letting Mingzhu secretly invest. ”

Steward Lin resigned again and again, Lin Jiuniang insisted again and again, and after a few back and forth, Steward Lin finally relented and replied: "It is Miss Jiu's good intentions, but I am also disrespectful." I'll thank Miss Nine on behalf of the dog. ”

Sending Steward Lin away, Suo Chun said with some pain: "Miss Nine, such a good painting, I will be rewarded if I say that I will be rewarded, I am a little distressed." ”

Lin Jiuniang said lightly: "It's just something outside the body." ”

Steward Lin was originally Lin Zhilan's personal servant, the son of the Lin family, and his relationship with Lin Zhilan was extremely close, and he has always been loyal to Lin Zhilan.

Lin Jiuniang remembered that his son Lin Wei was quite talented in Danqing painting, so she thought that she would give him the "Snow Ji Picture" in her hand to copy, maybe he could improve his skills as soon as possible.

Just thinking about it, Mama Han walked in and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Nine is going out tomorrow?" ”

Lin Jiuniang nodded and smiled: "Yes, go and worship my biological mother." ”

Mama Han smiled slightly, remembering Lin Jiuniang's unbearable life experience, she couldn't handle the scale for a while, so she didn't answer, just smiled.

Lin Jiuniang glanced at Mama Han and asked, "I don't know if Mama understands my life experience?" ”

Mama Han replied cautiously: "This...... The old slave doesn't know too much. ”

Lin Jiuniang smiled and said, "Then tomorrow, I will tell Mama everything in 1510." ”
