Aunt Wang's face was as gray as ashes, and she twisted her handkerchief and did not speak.

Aunt Zhou didn't have anything, she just looked at Lin Yingsleeve timidly and smiled, and the smile also carried a bit of flattery.

The corners of Aunt Zhao's eyes flew, and she said contemptuously: "The second master doesn't want to see this good concubine, without the approval of the master, the good concubine and the bad concubine are not the wife's final say." ”

"Okay-" Zhou glanced at Vanilla, Vanilla understood, clapped his hands, and the little maid came over with tea.

Lin Yingsleeve got up and took the tea, walked to Zhou's and knelt down, held the tea high above his head, and said: "Concubine Lin's please use tea for his wife." ”

There are also rules for this title, Aunt Wang should have been a concubine when she entered the door, but the Zhou family did not approve of it, and she set up a concubine before she entered the door, which was clearly a slap in the face. The old lady was afraid of Zhou's mother's family, so she had to write a deed of sale and hand it over to Zhou's hands.

The concubine has a deed of sale in the hands of the master's mother, and can only call herself a slave, not a concubine. Although Lin Yingsleeve was bought by the Zhou family, she only said that she was a concubine, but on the surface she was a free body, so she was called a concubine.

Zhou took the tea, took a symbolic sip, put down the tea, plucked a gold silk inlaid ruby double luan from the bun and handed it to Lin Yingsleeve, and said with a pleasant face: "After entering this door, we will be a family in the future, and we must be in harmony with all sisters and serve the second master." ”

This step shakes the treasure light blooming, see everyone's heartbeat accelerating, this step shake is not an ordinary thing, it is the queen of Xianwen to the eldest princess of Lishan, the mother of the eldest Weng lord, the Weng lord in the Zhou family out of the pavilion gift.

"Mrs. is also too elevated to her new sister, and she can't wear such a thing if you give it to her." Aunt Zhao's eyes were red for a while, even if she was in charge now, such a good thing would not fall to her.

Lin Yingsleeve was about to put on the step shake, and when she heard this, she immediately put it down, this step shake was very heavy, and wearing it could crush her little head off, and she really didn't want to wear it!

Concubines can't wear gold, even if it's a concubine in the palace, they can only wear half gold and half silver, not to mention that this step is from the palace, even if it is not Lin Yingsleeve on the bright side, it can't be worn.

Zhou coughed suddenly, and Aunt Zhou hurriedly went over to pat Zhou's back, and asked Vanilla to bring Zhou's decoction.

"Sister Zhao, whatever the wife rewards is the wife's business, can you be so blushing?" Aunt Wang pretended to be worried, she took a deep look at Lin Yingsleeve's steps, bit her lower lip, and persuaded Lin Yingsleeve softly.

"Sister of the Lin family, this step shake is indeed not something you can wear, so let's put it away!"

This step shook Lin Ying's sleeves and suddenly felt that it had become a hot potato, and it was not to wear it, nor was it to wear it, so he just waited for Zhou to say it slowly.

Zhou stopped coughing, and he also had a little regret in his heart, he originally sent such a step to Lin Yingsleeve, he wanted to borrow her to suppress Aunt Zhao's arrogance, and he didn't want to overdo it, no matter how noble he was, he was just a concubine, and he was not worthy of such a good thing.

It's just that everything is rewarded, and there is absolutely no reason to go back, and just as he was about to speak, the maid outside announced: "Brother and sister came to ask Mrs. for peace." ”

Zhou's face was happy, staring at the door, this pair of children are dragon and phoenix twins, only six years old this year, born in pink carving, very cute, especially the eldest brother, although he has not entered school, he has learned a lot of words with Pei Yuan, and he has the ability to never forget. The sister is smart and clever, and she speaks kindly, which is most pleasing to Pei Yuan.

The two children were helped in by the nurse, all the concubines got up together, and the two children gave Zhou's salute, "Say hello to my mother." After getting up, he said to the aunts: "Hello aunts." ”

Zhou pulled a child with one hand, full of motherly color, and asked the two children carefully whether they slept well last night, whether they had eaten in the morning, etc.

"Hey, this isn't my mother's step, why did you give it to my aunt?" The eldest sister was careful and noticed many people in the hall today.

Zhou glanced up at Lin Yingsleeve, and explained softly: "This is your father's new aunt, and new people who enter the door need to be approved by the master's mother, and they will be rewarded to her as a gift of recognition." ”

The eldest sister will also be the housewife in the future, so naturally there is no need to shy away from these things.

"How is the eldest sister?"

The eldest sister looked at Lin Yingsleeve with a pair of watery eyes, and then looked back at the nurse.

Zhou saw that the eldest sister did not recognize her life, and she was also happy in her heart, "This child has never liked people, and it is rare that he does not cry today, so it can be seen that he likes you." ”

Aunt Zhao snorted without smiling, her eyebrows flared, "Mrs. is lifting her with peace of mind, an aunt, the eldest sister just thinks it is fresh, so she said these many words, the person who knows is the wife is generous, and the person who doesn't know only thinks that she is the master of our family." ”

Zhou was talking to his eldest brother, and when he heard this, he raised his eyelids and looked at Aunt Zhao, and said lightly: "That's exactly what I said, you almost forgot it if you didn't remind me." A while ago, the congratulatory gift sent by Zhou Shoubei's family was wrong, and it made people laugh at the fact that there was no one in our Hou Mansion. Originally, I should have bothered about these things, my body is not good at cooking, the eldest sister is still young, although your family is not bad, the outside people are not sophisticated, the Lin family is a scholar, and the knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people, and she will follow you to learn housework in the future. ”

Aunt Zhao looked at the Zhou family with a shocked and panicked face, bowed slightly, and then laughed again: "Mrs. said that it was funny, although I was born as a maid of the Pei family, I have been with the second master since I was a child, although the Hou Mansion is not as good as the Guogong Mansion, it is also a noble family, and my knowledge is not as good as a poor girl." My wife has not lived in the Hou Mansion for a long time, and I probably don't know that the maids in our house are more decent than the ordinary young ladies of small families. ”

Zhou retracted his gaze, knowing that he was too anxious and didn't understand Lin Ying's behavior, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if it was Aunt Zhao and the like? After pondering for a long time, she said: "That's it, she doesn't understand the rules of the house when she first arrives, and she will talk about it when she gets acquainted." ”

Lin Yingsleeve breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't understand anything when she first arrived, if she made a mistake, wouldn't she be making trouble for herself. Moreover, the Zhou family made himself a housekeeper just to share the power of Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao is the childhood sweetheart of the second master of this family, and if she offends her, I am afraid that life will be even worse.

As the old saying goes: it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain!

Then there is the meal, the rules of the big family, only the master is worthy of sitting and eating, and the concubines can only stand to eat even if they are favored. Aunt Zhao used the excuse that she wanted to prepare the birthday gift of the old lady in the south and did not stay for dinner.

This meal was miserable, and Lin Yingsleeve could only endure it, not that she was spineless. But if the concubine offends the master mother, don't expect a good place to sell it, and it is not impossible to sell it viciously in the kiln.
