Chapter 277: Socializing
Zhou Banxia was too lazy to ask what the situation was with the two candidates, and when Gu Wenxuan changed into the civilian clothes he was wearing at home, he hurriedly asked him to eat quickly.
"Actually, Steward Zhao pulled me to eat it." After speaking, Gu Wenxuan could see that Zhou Banxia's face softened with the naked eye, "It was I who said that the family has prepared meals, and it is easy to spoil if you don't eat it in hot weather, so he let me and a group of people come back." When I came back, I heard that you were at home, and I asked Dae and them to eat first, so it was late. ”
"Meals should still be on time, don't forget how much effort it took to get better when you had a bad stomach, and then you still can't move the cold drink, and your stomach hurts when you eat."
This seems to be you, Gu Wenxuan nodded with a smile and swallowed the food in his mouth, "I forgot to ask you if you heard a murmur before going to bed last night and couldn't sleep?" ”
Not to mention this problem, Zhou Banxia almost forgot that after the obvious improvement of his physical fitness last night, his physical strength, memory, and sharp reactions have been greatly improved.
In fact, the wind blew the leaves at night, the frogs sounded, and the cicadas chirped endlessly, and these noisy sounds could be heard every night, but last night they sounded exceptionally clear and loud.
It's just that some people are used to it, and the brain instinct will subconsciously block out those noises.
"It's okay, I fell asleep without listening." Zhou Banxia slapped a small spoonful of soup and handed him the soup bowl, "What about you, will it be noisy when you study?" ”
"I don't have time to pay attention, my mind is on the book, and when I want to sleep, I see that you are at ease, and I can fall asleep immediately as soon as my head is next to the pillow."
It's really good at coaxing people, what does it mean to see that I'm at ease.
Zhou Banxia glanced at Gu Wenxuan, who was holding a soup bowl and taking a sip of soup after speaking, "I'll take Xiaohe to Lin Mansion later." ”
Gu Wenxuan nodded, he didn't want her sister and brother to wait for him and Da Jiang to go to the Lin Mansion again tomorrow, his daughter-in-law would never be rude.
Since I have made an appointment to go this afternoon, I can't help but want to go, "No need to stay longer, Mrs. Lin is old, just sit for a while." When you come back, you will accompany me to Yunkelai, and leave all the people who should leave, and then you can rest in peace. ”
"Okay."
Lin Mansion is very close to Jiying Lane, Jiying Lane is in the east and west of the city, and Lin Mansion is in the west of the city.
Because he wanted to enter the inner courtyard of the Lin Mansion, when Zhou Banxia took Xiaohe to visit, he asked Gu Youhua's daughter-in-law to accompany him, and at the same time considered the candidate for the female housekeeper around him.
It's not for the sake of putting on a show.
In some cases, where to send a maid and a mother-in-law to give gifts, it is not the nurse who is serving closely, and the daughter-in-law and the eldest maid come forward to represent that the other party is not valued.
The nurse said that she was originally born as a maid, just like a big maid, it is understandable that she does not have it by her side, but the housekeeper's daughter-in-law is really indispensable.
You can't always do everything by yourself, and when you don't want to come forward, you can let the housekeeper's daughter-in-law who is serving you personally run a trip.
In addition, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law can also train the little maid, manage chores, and assist in workshop affairs.
It's just that in order to prevent one person from coming to Japan to be a big bully, it is necessary to select at least two stewards' daughters-in-law to maintain balance.
In the midst of his thoughts, the carriage soon arrived at the Lin Mansion.
Lin Mansion is now five generations in the same house.
Lin Shibo is the second son, and Zhongjinshi coincided with Ding Wei, and has been teaching in Jingshan Academy since then, and is a very individual young man.
His eldest brother, the eldest son of the Lin Mansion, is also a seed of study, and the two brothers are Jinshi in the three years before and after, and he is currently serving as the prefect of Yingtianfu.
The remaining third is a concubine, and the fourth is also a son-in-law, and the aunts and grandmothers, regardless of the concubine, have naturally been married out a long time ago.
At present, the third brother is in Yingtianfu, and the fourth brother-in-law is at home with his mother.
It is said that Mrs. Lin has passed away for more than ten years, but Mrs. Lin somehow still insists on not separating her family.
asked Zhou Banxia to say that it was impossible for this old lady to favor the third child, otherwise Mrs. Lin would have a lot of concubines, and there would not be only one third child.
There are too many dirty things in the inner house.
I heard that Mrs. Lin is not yet sixty this year, but she looks like she is sixty or seventy years old, I don't know if it is because she has poor maintenance or too many things to worry about.
gave Zhou Banxia's first impression that it was really not as good as Mrs. Gao.
Mrs. Gao is fifty-eight this year, temperament aside, if two people want to stand together, one is a mother and the other is a daughter.
Looking at the four ladies of the Lin Mansion who were actually present, this old lady Lin is not as reasonable as the old lady Gao, her son is not at home, why do you leave her daughter-in-law at home.
Mrs. Gao couldn't do anything to let the concubine accompany her son to be the master of the housekeeper and entertain the female dependents, but the dignified wife served her mother-in-law at home.
This is a selfish and domineering old lady, or an old lady who is reluctant to let go of power, no wonder in the name of filial piety, she is still not happy to part with the family.
However, this is also an old lady who is good at words.
Main Hall.
Wealth is pressing.
The full hall of female dependents, from old to young, are all jewels and red gold heads, and even the female doll in her hand is dressed like a little golden man.
"Isn't it welcoming?"
Gu Wenxuan saw Zhou Banxia and Xiaohe didn't come back until it was almost dark, and when he came out of the study, he saw Zhou Banxia rubbing his cheeks with his hands.
"Smile stiffly? Did the old lady fall in love with Dajiang and intend to get married? ”
Zhou Banxia smiled dumbly, "If the door is not right, the household is wrong, what kind of marriage." ”
In other words, in the end, today it is still mentioned that Dajiang can have a marriage,
"Daughter, you can't climb high; The concubine is somewhat out of proportion. I don't know if there are other concubines, no matter how much you are favored, it is not as good as an arrogant concubine, and if you are angry, it is not a good match. ”
I understand, I can't look at it.
Zhou Banxia shook his head with emotion, "This person, I can't say it, I don't like to have a concubine, but I am happy that my son will have more little wives when it is his son's turn." ”
"Have you seen Master Lin?"
"Even the maid with a big fart let the nurse take it out, and she must have seen it. Luckily, I brought a lot of greeting gifts, otherwise it would have been a joke. ”
How to say this, Gu Wenxuan thought to himself, maybe Mrs. Lin thinks that with your uncle here, she can't stay in the big river, and it's okay to catch the small river.
"As you said, Master Lin is an unsociable person, but this is not the reason why she was left at home, and it is impossible for the aunt to entertain anyone's concubine."
"Concubine Bin is not a concubine?"
"It's not interesting for you to say that."
"And how much more can you expect from an old lady who has no knowledge?" Seeing Zhou Banxia's glare, Gu Wenxuan hurriedly diverted the topic, "Uncle Lin is still very measured. I was in Fucheng before, including this trip back to the house, and I didn't bring the second room. With such a mother, he is already very good. ”
"Hehe~"
"Don't laugh like that, it's making my heart flutter." Gu Wenxuan picked up the person and sat on the couch by himself, "He is him, I am me, and it is different." ”
"Stopped studying?"
"I'm tired, take a break." Look, this excuse has been tried and tried, and if you don't make a fuss, you have to stand up, Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "Daughter-in-law, did you run to bet this morning?" ”
