Chapter 50 Concessions
Old Madam Shang treated Lin Qingwan with courtesy, and the rest of the Shang family naturally didn't dare to have a second expression, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all welcomed her happily at this time.
Second Mrs. Shang took her hand and boasted: "It's not a few years older than Danzhu, how can you be so capable, you can support a family." ”
Several girls from the Shang family also stepped forward to greet each other, they had all seen Lin Qingwan, it should be said that they had all seen Sister Wan.
When my aunt returned to the door when I was a child, Lin Yubin was still young at that time, her body was weak, and it was difficult to go far away, so when she went back to her parents' house on a holiday, or when the old lady came back from her birthday, she was a sister Wan.
So they played together when they were young, that is, when their aunt died in the past few years, Lin Yubin was brought to the Shang family, and Lin Qingwan was a little older, so she didn't come.
Lin Qingwan doesn't have the memory of Sister Wan'er, but she has the information given by Lin Jiang and Sister Wan'er, as well as the portraits in private, and the three sisters of the Shang family have different appearances, so she can distinguish them at a glance, and she also greets them intimately.
There are four sisters in the Shang family, named after Meilan Zhuju, Shang Danmei has been married, and now the longest in the family is Shang Danlan, this is Shang Mingyuan's sister, who happens to be the same age as her, and coincidentally she is also a posthumous daughter. It's just that compared with the death of her father Lin Zhi, Master Shang's death is a little disgraceful, and even her birth has been overshadowed.
Sister Wan'er said that this is a very good and strong girl.
The third is Shang Danzhu, the second daughter of Mrs. Shang, who is the same age as Yubin, and the fourth is her sister-in-law Shang Danju, who is no more than two months apart from her.
Lin Yubin has lived here for a few years, and they are more familiar with her, so when they saw Lin Qingwan, the three of them pulled her aside and whispered.
Danlan: "Cousin, your sister-in-law is really beautiful, but it's not the same as when she was a child. ”
Danzhu: "The eighteen changes of the female college, the more it changes, the better it looks, by the way, cousin, you won't leave when you go back to your hometown this time, right?" ”
Lin Yubin nodded, "My sister-in-law said that we should keep filial piety at home." ”
"That's great, in the future, you want to invite us to your house to play, don't do anything else, read a book." Danju whispered: "It's really boring at home. ”
Danzhu "shh ”
Danlan frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Is that cousin still in school?" Do you want to come here to study with us, or just invite a gentleman? ”
Lin Yubin sighed, shook his head and said: "Now that everything is undecided, let's get it a little later to go to school, I am now reading books and practicing calligraphy by myself, but it is also a little interesting." ”
"It's lonely in the end," Danzhu rolled his eyes and said, "I told the old lady that it would be good for you to still come to our house to study." ”
"Don't," Lin Yubin hurriedly stopped her and said in a low voice: "My sister-in-law may have an arrangement, wait until I ask her." ”
The three Danlan sisters looked at her suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lin Qingwan, who was talking happily to the old lady above, pulled Lin Yubin aside and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, you are honest, but your sister-in-law doesn't like you to get close to our family?" ”
Otherwise, how can you push back and push? You must know that although Lin Yubin is weak, his idea is very right.
Lin Yubin pursed his lips and whispered: "Don't think about it, my sister-in-law treats me very well, the Shang family is my grandfather's family, and she also asked me to be closer to you, except for her, you are my closest relatives, how can she not like me to get close to you?" ”
It's just that she has noticed the malice of the Zhao family and even the second aunt towards the Lin family, and she has seen too many conspiracies during this time, and she has experienced sophistication, so she can't help but think more about it.
She didn't want to ruin her sister-in-law's arrangement, so she had to ask her sister-in-law if she didn't come to Shang's house to study.
It's just that she can't say that, so Lin Yubin said vaguely: "It's just that our family is in a complicated situation now, and many things have not been decided, so I have to stay at home to help my sister-in-law......"
The three sisters breathed a sigh of relief, pulled her and smiled: "That's good, we're still worried that you won't be happy at home." ”
Danzhu smiled: "Now you are the most outstanding of the four of us, and you can be a housekeeper." ”
Lin Yubin smiled slightly, she would rather not have this kind of income, if her father is still there, where can she worry about it?
Even my sister-in-law is holding it in the palm of her hand.
Lin Qingwan kept paying attention to the four little girls out of the corner of her eyes, and when she saw that they were getting along harmoniously, she couldn't help but smile.
Old Madam Shang smiled when she saw it, patted her hand and said with a smile: "Her aunt can rest assured, the four children grew up together, and the relationship is very good." ”
Lin Qingwan took the opportunity to invite: "Yubin is lonely, and I invite them to be guests in the future, and I hope that the old lady will not stop her, so that their sisters will be close to each other." ”
"I wish a few children would love each other," the old lady paused, but couldn't help but say, "If her aunt doesn't dislike it, it is better to take Yubin to live at home for a while, Yubin is also used to living here." ”
After all, it was too difficult for the two girls to set up a house, and when the gate was closed, the slaves bullied them, and outsiders didn't know.
Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "I know that the old lady is pitiful, but there are a lot of things at home, and we don't want to bother." Fortunately, our two mansions also live closely, and if the old lady wants to be the eldest sister in the future, she will send someone to say goodbye, and I will ask her to come over to say hello to the old lady. ”
The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, not to mention that there are still people here who are not pure-minded, she will let Lin Yubin live in the Shang family because of her head show.
The reason why she has a good relationship with the Shang family is that the old lady is Lin Yubin's grandmother, no matter what others do, at least now the old lady really feels sorry for Lin Yubin. She also hopes that Yubin can have more relatives to care about.
The second is that the Shang family and the Lin family are actually in a containment relationship to a certain extent. If the Lin family has anything unfavorable to their aunt and nephew in the future, as Yubin's foreign family, the Shang family has the right to speak.
Similarly, if the Shang family is not conducive to Yubin in the future, the Lin family also has checks and balances.
This is also the policy that she and Lin Jiang formulated after thinking about it for a long time, don't care what they think in their hearts, in short, they must be polite to the Shang family and the Lin family, and then talk about a good relationship.
If she really doesn't have a good relationship, she doesn't have to rush to be low and small, which lowers her identity.
And now, she is interested, the old lady is affectionate, the two sides hit it off, and this party is very pleasant.
At noon, my aunt and nephew ate here, because they took care of Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin, there was not a single meat dish on the table, all of them were vegetarian.
Lin Qingwan was very satisfied with this, and no matter what, the Shang family showed an attitude and showed respect.
After lunch, the old lady asked the three Danlan sisters to take Lin Yubin down to play and rest, and sent the second lady Shang away, so she pulled Lin Qingwan into the inner room to whisper.
"Her eldest aunt worships the Buddha in the Buddha hall, and she doesn't care about anything, so she didn't come, and she asked her aunt not to mind."
"Where, Yubin is a junior, she should go and ask the eldest lady to say goodbye."
The old lady sighed and asked Nan Chun to bring the things, "My three children, the favorite is your sister-in-law, her uncle is a bastard, and if he dies, he will die, and her second uncle has no interest." The smartest and most capable one was born as a daughter......"
The old lady wiped her tears and said, "I want her to go early, let me send the white-haired person to the black-haired person." ”
Lin Qingwan opened her mouth, not knowing how to comfort her.
She worked so hard to live, wasn't she afraid that her grandfather would experience the pain of "white-haired people sending black-haired people" when he came?
Otherwise, everyone in the world does not die, and everyone knows that they can be reincarnated after death, so it's a big deal to come back after death, so why risk your soul to go away?
She just wants to live, to live well, to show her grandfather, so that he can go through this life carefree.
Lin Qingwan's eyes were moist and she lowered her head.
The old lady had already stuffed the box in her hand into Lin Qingwan's hand, and choked up: "This is the title deed sent by your brother, I was really angry before, so I was angry and wanted to keep her mother's dowry for Yubin." Your brother is so ruthless, so much property is left for Yubin, how can I not be sad? ”
Lin Qingwan bowed her head and did not speak.
"It wasn't until His Majesty's decree came down that I knew that your brother was thoughtful, money is important, but if there is the honor of the county lord, Yubin will live better."
Lin Qingwan opened her mouth and stammered, did she think that Lin Jiang donated the property to ask for a knighthood for Yubin?
"Since your brother doesn't ignore Yubin, as long as he has a false name, then I won't keep this thing, or leave it to you for safekeeping," the old lady smiled: "Since your brother can hand over the family business to you, it can be seen that you are extremely capable, and I am old and dizzy, so I will not mix." ”
The Shang family's dowry list is in triplicate, she takes one copy, the Shang family takes one copy, and the Lin clan has another copy, but the credentials and other things are in the hands of the old lady, but the management is in Lin Qingwan.
This was also discussed by Lin Jiang's monk family before.
Of course she wanted to hold these credentials herself, but she also knew that although the things were given by the old lady, she might not be at ease if she really took the other party, for the sake of long-term planning, Lin Qingwan still pushed back, "Old lady, these are all arranged by my brother, my eldest sister and I are so young that we are panicked with these, it is better for the old lady to keep it for her first, and then give it to her when she is engaged." ”
"Since you are in charge of those industries, it is naturally better to give you the credentials, lest the subordinates below be disobedient."
"It is precisely because I am in charge of the industry that the old lady has to collect this credential," Lin Qingwan said seriously: "Eggs can't be put in one basket, it's better to divide them." As for the problem of subordinates, where is the problem, they will be dismissed if they are disobedient, can't we find a loyal and capable subordinate in the Lin Shang family? ”
When the old lady saw Lin Qingwan firmly stuffing the box in her arms, she knew that she really didn't want to take it, and the smile on her face became more and more sincere, "Then I'll keep it for Yubin first, and you will use it to find me in the future." ”
Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "Where do you need to use your sister-in-law's dowry, although my brother sold most of the property, he also left us two Zhuangzi, and the bookstore and bookstore also have income, and there is still the Juetian given by His Majesty." ”
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that there are thirty hectares of Juetian alone, except for some official fields that have been cultivated, the others are all barren?" ”
"It's not perennially barren, there are also good fields copied back from the previous two years, just take care of it."
The old lady sighed, "How can I take care of so much land, even if I can't rent it for a while, I'm afraid it will be wasted." Fortunately, it is Juetian, and there is no need to pay taxes, otherwise you will die of sorrow. ”
Lin Qingwan smiled and didn't speak, she had already preliminarily determined what to do with those lands. There is no machinery in this world, and all cultivation depends on manpower, so it takes a lot of labor, and it is impossible to open up all the land at once, but you can take it slowly, and it is expected that all the land will be completed in three years.
