Chapter 52

Lin originally smiled and pulled his hair for his daughter and tried to wear a bead hairpin. After a quarter of an hour, he began to look out frequently. After two quarters of an hour, his face was distorted and he made a little girl look for it.

Manager Qian opened the remaining red paint box cage and recommended his own jewelry with an eloquent expression, which relieved the awkward atmosphere.

After a little while, Madam Jin came in with a box.

"Why did you go for so long?" Lin asked in a deep voice. Yu Miaoqi was dressed in front of the mirror with a golden hairpin, as if she had heard nothing.

"Go back to Madam, the third lady looked for a long time before finding the box and saying that she would give it to the second lady, which was delayed." Madam Jin handed over the box and found that it was covered with dust. It was obviously something that Yu Xiang abandoned. She felt very embarrassed and quickly wiped away the dust with her sleeves.

Lin's already gloomy face can drip out water at this moment. Just as he was about to scold "I'm too bullying", Manager Qian screamed, "Oh, isn't this the only phoenix in our Jinxiu Pavilion to wing the beads and cultivate the wings of the golden step? Not to mention that the three east beads wrapped around the shaking are all the big longans, which are hard to find in the world. This box alone is already expensive. The body of this box is carved from a whole piece of golden nanmu, and the few crabapple flowers inlaid on the lid. The petals are thinly spliced ​​together with top-grade red green. They are full of water. They are like real flowers. They are just like real flowers in the sun, making people want to reach out to caress."

She said as she took the box and put it in the light, marveling, "Two, three, Miss Xianger is so generous. This box is the treasure of the store in our store. Don't say that it's shaken. Each East Pearl needs to be sold in this way." She stretched out a slap and shook it.

It was strange today. A second lady appeared in the Yongle Marquis' Mansion for no reason, saying that she was Miss Xiang'er's twin sister. The two looked no different in appearance, and their temperaments were very different. I don't know what the origin was.

What if it doesn't matter, she can make money.

Manager Qian was muttering in his heart, but praised Yu Xiang's gift, which made Lin's gloomy face calmer and handed over the cards, "Please take the cards and pay the money."

"Thank you for your patronage. If you have any need next time, just ask someone to call the private wife. The private women's things are among the best in Beijing, and you will never let your wife down." Manager Qian smiled and breathed a sigh of relief after going out.

Lin ordered Madam Jin to put away all the jewelry piled on the table. When she turned back, she saw her daughter crying at the opened crabapple flower box.

"Qi'er, what's wrong with you? Who is upsetting you?" She hurried over and hugged her daughter in her arms and patted her.

"Mother, this box is so expensive, not to mention the jewelry placed inside." She closed the box and pushed it away, and her tears fell even more fiercely. "And I have never seen what Dongzhu looks like in the Shen family. For me, it is something that is beyond my reach, and it is a life that I will never dare to wish for. But what is the fact? In fact, these things should have belonged to me, but they were all taken away by her! Mother, I even had to report to her to buy some clothes and jewelry. Are I the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion? If I have to live a life in the future, what will I do? Why don't I send me back again!"

The more she spoke, she became more and more sad. She untied a purse from her waist and choked, "Mother, who else cares about me except you in the marquis's mansion? Look at what my grandmother gave me, just a peace talisman. She used it as a gift for my meeting with a piece of copper plate in the temple. This is my despise of my daughter from the bottom of my heart!"

In fact, Yu Miaoqi misunderstood that this peace talisman was not bought with a copper plate, but was written and opened by the monk Ku Hai, a god of Han Dynasty. It was a good thing that no one could grab if they stole the head. Thanks to Yu Xiang, who had been talking about scriptures and discussions with Buddhist scriptures over the years, made him, who had been writing for ten years, make an exception.

It’s a pity that the old lady worked so hard that she fed her dog’s stomach. Not only did Yu Miaoqi not appreciate it, she also secretly hated her.

Lin was furious when he heard this. While scolding the old lady for being partial, he walked out and threw the peace talisman into the brazier of burning yellow paper. The flames licked the talisman and emitted a strong Zen fragrance, but it disappeared in a moment.

She turned back and hugged her daughter and gritted her teeth, "Qi'er, don't worry, from now on, my mother will not let you suffer such humiliation today. After all, my mother is the head of the Marquis' Mansion. After fourteen years of leisure, she should be in charge of the gift again. It is not certain who sees who is looking at his face!"

"Mother, you are the best to treat your daughter. My daughter can only rely on you!" Yu Miaoqi threw herself into her arms and sobbed, and a dark light quickly passed through her eyes filled with tears.

Madam Jin was holding up all her words to persuade her master, but found that the second lady had said everything she wanted. If the master re-in charge of the gift, she would be the manager of the marquis who everyone in the marquis's mansion would be so scared to get it? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel joy in her heart, and she quickly covered the smile on her lips with a veil, but the corners of her eyes drooped, as if she was very sad.

------------------------------------------------------------

In the main courtyard, the old lady was reading a scripture, but she saw Wan Qiu coming in with a solemn face, attaching it to Ma Ma’s ear and whispering something to report. She could vaguely hear words such as “Madam, burned, disgusted”.

Ma Ma's face changed drastically, and her hand holding the veil trembled unconsciously.

"What are you saying? Let me listen too?" The old lady turned the Buddhist scriptures over a page and spoke slowly.

Ma Ma sent Wan Qiu away, looking quite hesitant.

The old lady sneered, "Is Lin a demon again? Say!"

Ma Ma knelt at her feet and said sadly, "Go back to the old lady, the lady said you dislike her. The gift you gave was a peace talisman that could be bought with a copper plate in the temple. The lady was furious when she heard this, and threw the talisman paper into the fire and burned it directly."

Since I knew the fate of my granddaughter, the old lady asked Yu Xiang to ask for this talisman to beg for it. The offering was held in Zhenguo Temple for a four-year period. The indulgence oil presented to Zhenguo Temple would cost 200 taels of silver, all of which were paid out by the old lady. Not to mention this sincerity, the silver alone was worth tens of thousands of taels. How could it be burned with fire?

If you burn it, you will burn it, but you will even slander the old lady in words. What a heartless and ungrateful way! If you have a little respect for the old lady, you will not be able to do such a thing!

Ma Ma wished she could rush to the main room and slapped Lin and Yu Miaoqi twice.

But the old lady was not angry, but instead smiled lowly. When she spoke again, she said vicissitudes of life, "Yan'er is right. Yu Miaoqi is a cold-hearted person who holds revenge but not kindness. It should be far away. No matter how I treat her, how can I compare to the Shen couple who raised her? She even gave up if she gave up. How could she remember me? Forget it, if you don't do this hot-faced butt in the future, you'll get married after a year or two. Like Yu Siyu, you're also uneasy."

Ma Ma nodded repeatedly, and after a while, she said, "The girl said, "Madam is afraid she wants to seize the power of the family from Miss Xiang'er. Old lady, look at this..."

When the old lady heard this, she was extremely angry and snorted coldly, "Preserve the power of the family? Just her? The Marquis' Mansion is not the Marquis' Mansion that was in the time of Junjie. She is afraid that she will not be able to play with her ability. But if she dares to speak this, I can help her."

Ma Ma was shocked when she heard this and reminded, "Old Madam, what if something goes wrong?"

As the old lady said, the current Yongle Marquis Mansion is very different from the past. Although Yu Pinyan was named General of Cavalry, the tiger talisman was actually returned to the emperor early. He was determined to be the sword in the emperor's hand and went forward with blood. In order to pave the way for the prince to ascend the throne, several emperors who had eliminated different surnames would have to attack the giant family with mixed surnames next year. Under this trend, the Yongle Marquis Mansion could only be an isolated minister and could not be linked to any party.

This scale not only needs Yu Pinyan to grasp, but the interactions between the wives in the back house cannot cross the emperor's bottom line. Yu Xiang had done a good job before, and in the eyes of the old lady, she could not have been better. She could not have thought that Xiang'er was so smart that even the holy will could be so thoroughly understood, and she didn't even need her to remind her of it from the side.

Lin was also very smart and capable before he was confused, but that kind of shrewdness was limited to the small plot and tricks of the back house, which was incomparable to Xianger's broad vision.

Leaving this family to the Lin family will inevitably lead to chaos.

The old lady thought about it and waved her hand, "If she dares to speak, she will let her take care of it. Xiang'er and I are watching that something big will happen. Xiang'er uses iron-blooded skills to manage the Marquis' Mansion, and all the true teachings of her brother. With Lin's tricks, it will collapse in just a few months. Over the years, she has been sticking to the main house and indulging in the past, but I can't find her mistake. This time, she will be crazy and wait for me to catch the handle, and she will get her divorce letter home, and her parents' home can't say anything."

After hearing this, Ma Ma understood the old lady’s plan. Yes, missing her husband is not a mistake. The old lady doesn’t want to tolerate Lin anymore! For fourteen years, it’s time to endure it.

"The Marquis's place..." Ma Ma must have a reminder.

"You go and ask Yan'er, do you still recognize Lin as your mother?" The old lady sneered. She had not made any big fuss before because she was worried about her grandson's face. This time she took Yu Miaoqi back and saw her true heart. The grandson probably didn't want to recognize Lin anymore, and he refused to admit Yu Miaoqi, otherwise how could she be so ignorant of her attitude.

"She doesn't recognize the Marquis, and the Marquis naturally doesn't recognize her. She doesn't have the Marquis in her heart. She is all about the second lady, and she doesn't think about who earned the good days in these years." Ma Ma shook her head and sighed.

The old lady also sighed and picked up the Buddhist scriptures and chanted in a low voice.

In the main room, Lin did not know that except for Madam Jin and her two daughters, the rest of the servants in her yard became the eyewitness of the old lady and Yu Xiang. She also regarded herself as the mistress who was the one who was the one who was the same as before, and did not avoid others at all.

Yu Miaoqi was confused and relaxed when she saw her so freely. The mother and daughter discussed how to speak to the old lady, and it took three minutes before going to bed.

The next morning, Yu Miaoqi dressed up carefully and followed Lin to the main courtyard to pay tribute to the old lady.
