twenty-three

Lin Weiliang was a little relieved, he looked at Lin Chu's waist, and a loving smile appeared on his face for the first time.

Seeing that this room was filled with the atmosphere of father's kindness and filial piety, and that she had been reduced to a background board, Mama Liu was a little broken, she took a breath, and her crying suddenly amplified.

"Sir! You have a kind heart, the old slave just didn't know what to do to make the eldest lady angry, now no matter what the eldest lady says about me, I admit it, you let the eldest lady let me go! I won't dare to listen to anyone anymore! I only listen to the eldest lady......"

Her words seemed to be admitting her mistake, but in fact, she said that Lin Chuwaist was a shrew who punished her subordinates indiscriminately.

The maids-in-law and even the little maids present could hear the meaning of these words, but Lin Weiliang had never experienced these inner house affairs since he was a child, and he couldn't hear them now.

He was so frightened by this scream that his hands trembled, and seeing that this grandmother was really pitiful, he blamed: "Chu Yuan, Liu Mama is an old man in the house, and she is the person brought by your grandmother's mother's family, how can you give a few thin noodles!" Come! Help Mama Liu untie it. ”

Lin Chuyin knew that his father was a man who ate soft and not hard, his voice softened, and a guilty expression appeared on his face: "It's my daughter's ...... wrong"

But in the next second, she seemed to think of something, and her eyes sparkled and said: "My daughter is wrong to blame Mama Liu, fortunately, I went out to buy some precious utensils this time, which can be given to Mama Liu as a gift of apology!"

"Green water! Give me the Night Pearl I bought. Lin Chuwaist smiled innocently: "I heard that Mama Liu is old, and her eyes are so bad that she can't see at night, so I just have something to give you!" ”

Just said that she was going to cut off her hand, and now she actually wants to give her the Night Pearl? This little girl's attitude before and after has become too fast, and she can pretend better than her?

Hearing this, Mama Liu couldn't pretend anymore, she wiped a handful of tears with her sleeve indiscriminately, and stared at this eldest lady who usually had no brains with a suspicious expression.

I don't know why, she always feels like nothing good.

Qing Shui was also a little puzzled, she was holding a gold and jade inlaid box in her hand, which contained a priceless night pearl!

Lin Chu beckoned her to come over, and then flicked the cover open very casually, and a flawless, round night pearl immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes!

This night pearl is in excellent condition, it is said that the treasure pavilion Yue Xianju sent a special person to search in the East China Sea for three years to find the best, worth two hundred taels of gold, in order to buy it, the young lady even advanced another few months of monthly money in advance in the Lin Mansion.

Such a precious thing, could it be that you really want to give it to Mama Liu?

Lin Chuyin was disdainful of the bead, she picked it up very casually, walked up to Mama Liu, gently threw the bead on her robe, and said with a smile: "This bead is worth two hundred taels of gold, Mama Liu, I'll give it to you!" ”

Mama Liu's dim eyes had never been so bright, and she was afraid that one would accidentally fall on the bead, so she hurriedly hugged it to her chest, her eyes full of greed.

If she mortgaged this bead, it would be enough for her to gamble for a while!

Over there, Lin Weiliang's eyes were about to pop out.

He was about to speak, but the old lady took a step ahead of him and said bitterly: "My God! How much do you think this bead is worth? Two hundred taels of gold! You..... How are you..... Such a loser! ”

Originally, I wanted to pretend, but the old lady couldn't help but reveal her true feelings.

In the early years, she married into the Lin Mansion, she lived a profligate life in her husband's family, and later the Lin Mansion declined, and she was stained with the light of her stepson Lin Weiliang, and she has been living a life of spending money for so many years.

But no matter how much money is spent, it is far from being able to do something like Lin Chu's waist now, where he can reward two hundred taels of gold with a random person, right?

Good boy! It's not in vain that she has deliberately "cultivated" Lin Chu's waist over the years, and this girl's degree of defeat is really better than blue!

"Where did you get so much money!" Lin Weiliang's face sank, his thick black eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and his eyes were almost on fire.

"Money? I spent all this money on the Lin Mansion's account....." Lin Chu raised his head with a blank look.

"Ouch hey! You are really used to it, where can you learn it in the account......" was about to light another fire in front of Lin Weiliang, the old lady suddenly seemed to think of something, glanced at Lin Chu's waist, and his expression was a little panicked.

Lin Weiliang was angry and said: "You girl, at a young age, who did you learn to pay money on the account?" If I don't care about you anymore, won't you want to ruin my Lin Mansion's property? ”

"Ahh Father, can't you just spend money in the Lin Mansion's account? But Mama Liu spends money on the account at will every time! And I think a lot of the sisters in the house do that...... Isn't that right......"

Lin Chu's voice became smaller and smaller, pretending to be weak-hearted and secretly glanced at Lin Weiliang a few times.

Looking at his expression that could be called a little blackened, Lin Chuyun knew that he was really angry now.

Lin Weiliang was really angry.

He was at the border with Zeng Li a few years ago, leaving his only daughter in Beijing, hoping that the aunt and grandmother at home would be able to teach this child to be a knowledgeable person, but he didn't expect to come back the year before last and found that his daughter was worse than those nieces and nephews.

When he left, his own child was still a piece of jade, and now he has been taught to be a fool by some people with ulterior motives?

He trembled a little with anger, "You say! Who else spends such money in the house? ”

"Second sister, third sister, and aunt.... Oh! Grandmother's maid Chunying seems to have also taken money in the house..... And ....." Speaking of this, Lin Chu's waist was embarrassed, and he was silent and did not speak.

Lin Weiliang hated that iron could not become steel, and roared: "And what? You go on! ”

His pupils sank slightly, and he glanced at the people in this room, he wanted to see who else in this house didn't know the rules!

"Mama Liu told me that the Lin Mansion has a lot of money, as long as I am short of silver, I will pay it directly on the Lin Mansion account, these accounts are all in her charge, and others will never say anything more!"

Hearing this, several of the little guys who were going to step forward to untie Mama Liu were so shocked that they couldn't move, and Mama Liu no longer let out a sad voice, and the whole hall was as silent as death.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the old lady couldn't sit still, so she left the chair and blocked Mama Liu: "Ouch! The big girl really likes to laugh, this can't be a joke, come on, come on, take Mama Liu down. ”

She squeezed the arm of the personal maid heavily, and Chunying's expression was painful, but she couldn't help but scream, and then stepped forward to help Mama Liu up.

Lin Weiliang waved his hand.

"Mama Liu, that's how you taught Miss Xi?"

Mama Liu sneered, "Master, this must be a mistake in the young lady's memory, the old slave ate the bear's heart and leopard gall?" How dare you teach Miss like this? ”

She is really wronged, how to teach Miss Xi is all instructed by the old lady, but she has become this shield!

"Mama Liu! Why are you still lying? Haven't you always taken money from the government when you had gambling debts outside? ”

Lin Weiliang knew that Mama Liu was good at gambling, but this was a few decades ago, I thought that she wouldn't gamble after she had no money, but she didn't expect to be so bold as to take money directly from the account? There are also those people in the second and third rooms, who are just supported by the big house on weekdays, but they don't want their ambitions to get bigger and bigger, and this amount is getting more and more.

Lin Weiliang's eyes almost erupted with fire: "Someone! Take out the account books of the house for me! ”

Eight years ago, when he took his wife to the border pass, he handed over the account book to Wang Ruoyi in the second room, and then Wang Ruoyi had an accident, and the old lady returned to the Lin Mansion, and the account book was naturally given to the old lady's people to manage.

Over the years, he has performed military exploits, Emperor Shu is extremely satisfied with him, a large number of gold, silver and jewelry have been sent into the mansion, but he does not attach much importance to these things outside his body, and he has never taken the time to look at the expenses of the Lin Mansion, and now it seems that the problem is very big!

The housekeeper in the house handed over the account book, and Lin Weiliang looked at a few pages, and the expression on his face was very difficult to describe.

This month alone, three thousand taels of silver have disappeared!

"Mama Liu, take a look for yourself! Where did all this money go! ”

Mama Liu knew that the big thing was not good, and her expression panicked, if this matter was not handled well, I am afraid that all these problems would be blamed on her, if the Lin family sent it to the official, it would be a lifetime of imprisonment.

Thinking about these stakes clearly, she praised herself twice in a row, glanced at the old lady in fear, and said tremblingly: "Master.... It's all from the old lady who wants me to support it! I don't know anything! ”

The old lady was so angry that her face turned red, this Mama Liu was so useless, she confessed herself in two clicks, she said sadly: "Mama Liu, I have always treated you very well, I didn't expect you to take the money from the master's family, and frame me here, you really don't want to live?" I see, all this money must have been pocketed by you! ”

"The son of the third room killed the maidservant girl last time, the old lady bought the pearls of the South China Sea last time, and the lady of the second room bought the rouge of the Western Regions, these are all money spent from the account, but they can't be used on me." Mama Liu retorted.

Seeing this situation, the old lady knew that there was nothing she could do, so she had to turn her head to look at Lin Weiliang: "Weiliang, my mother did pay a few times in the account, but those are necessary expenses, you should be able to understand, right?" ”

Lin Weiliang hesitated, thinking that his mother had spoken, and if he didn't follow his mother's thoughts, it would always be bad to spread it, so he sighed and said, "Mother must not act like this again in the future." ”

This son is a good man, and the old lady smiled with joy.
