"Grandma, there are rumors outside that the people in the warehouse are unreasonable, broke the bottles, and beat people. That's why you paid the second wife for the bottle. The second wife beat you in order to make you look good and to be nice.
Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Zhu. Nowadays, people say that the second wife is generous.
After such a thing happened, I still let you do this. After all, you are a little younger and a little more energetic." Cherry was so angry that her cheeks were bulging, and her face was full of dissatisfaction: "I said this is not the case.
Son, they said, otherwise, why would you use your own dowry to supplement it?"
"It's just confusing black and white." Dou'er is an honest person and couldn't help but said: "Grandma should have found out who broke the bottle. I really want to find out who broke the bottle."
Lin Jinrong said with a smile: "Stop the basics and seek the end, right? If you check over and over again on a broken bottle, how long will it take and how many people will be involved? Are you sure? Take a look at the situation in the warehouse now.
How does it compare to the past few days?”
The warehouse has been safe and sound these days. It is completely different from the situation in the past few days when it was quiet on the surface but turbulent in the undercurrent. It is really safe. These details can be seen in the eyes and actions of the housekeepers.
It can be seen. Dou'er thought for a moment and said, "Even so, I always feel aggrieved for grandma."
Lin Jinrong sighed: "You have both face and face, who wouldn't want it. But if you can't have both, face is much more important than face."
Lychee was embroidering Lin Jinrong's tube top on the side. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and smiled: "Face means that it looks good, but the lining means it is affordable. But grandma's tube top needs to have both good appearance and good lining."
Lin Jinrong dipped some water into it and flicked it onto her cheek: "This mouth is getting sharper and sharper."
Guiyuan came in and whispered: "Grandma, Fangzhu is here again and brought a few pomegranate flowers made of silk. He said that he was resting at home for the past two days and had nothing to do, so he got them to honor grandma." As he said,
While opening the small box in his hand, there were four pomegranate flowers made of red silk. They were vividly made, as if they were alive and very delicate.
Lin Jinrong glanced at it: "Take it."
Fang Zhu stretched her neck outside to look in, her heart pounding. Five days had passed since that day when Lin Jinrong made it clear that she would wait for Lu Mian to come back before deciding her whereabouts. She was worried, and on the third day
She brought a box of home-steamed pastries. She didn't meet Lin Jinrong, so she put down the pastries and left. There was no news after that. She thought about it, then tied a few more pomegranate flowers, and asked for Lin Jinrong's presence before sending them in.
Guiyuan went in but couldn't come out, and she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes again. Aunt Gui looked at it from the side, and she couldn't bear it again, so she waved her over and poured a cup of tea for her.
She said: "It's sunny, come here and sit and wait. Grandma is a good person with a soft heart and won't be angry for too long."
Now everyone in the house knows that she has lost the favor of her master, and he no longer treats her like before. Even Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun have never sent anyone to look for her or ask about her. She has lost power here, and her man Liu Wu is outside the courtyard.
It is inevitable to be crowded by people when walking, and sigh when you come home. There are two more
The baby was crying for food. Fangzhu was at the most miserable moment in her heart. Her eyes were red after hearing this voice of comfort. Thousands of words came to her throat, but she couldn't say a word. She had to lower her head and whisper.
He said: "Grandma is a good person." He didn't beat her or scold her, so what else could he do?
Aunt Gui sighed, and didn't have much to say. She just poured some more water into the Fangzhu cup. After a while, Guiyuan came out and said arrogantly: "Grandma collected the flowers and said they were well tied, but it needs to be
I'm taking a nap and I don't have time to see you. This is the money I'm going to give you. Just go back and wait."
Fangzhu looked at the money in front of him with a dry mouth and did not take it. He forced a smile and said: "Thank you for your help, sister. Buy me a flower to wear."
Guiyuan accepted it unceremoniously: "Go back. I have to go on errands too." Now in her eyes, Fangzhu was no longer a threat at all. Even if Lin Jinrong showed mercy and Fangzhu could come back to work on errands,
It is impossible to be as beautiful as before. It is nothing more than the master taking pity on me and giving me food to eat.
Fangzhu said solemnly: "I wonder if the second master will be back soon?"
Guiyuan was impatient: "How can people like us know about the master's affairs? The second master is coming back soon. Is it possible that he still wants to talk to us?"
Aunt Gui glared at her and comforted Fangzhu: "Let's go back and wait. Didn't we say we would go for half a month? This will be soon."
Fangzhu lowered his head and walked heavily out of Lin Jinrong's yard. There were people coming and going on the main road, and there were a few rough ladies who were moving some old and clumsy furniture. When they saw her coming, someone greeted her:
"From Liu Wu's family, come here and help me."
This kind of work is not done by a decent girl like Fangzhu. In the past, these people would not have dared to talk to her like this, or even joke. But now, her face turned red all of a sudden.
Sorry, I pretended not to hear it and just walked past these people.
I had only taken two steps when I heard someone say: "What are you eating for free every day? You look arrogant now, but you won't be sold in a few days. What's so rare about it? Why do you put it on airs?"
Fangzhu felt that her face was on fire. She turned around and saw that the person who said this was very close to Mrs. Meng. Mrs. Meng's family had all been sold out a few days ago, but after all, they had been in this house for many years.
There are always a few relatives. If you can't afford to offend Lin Jinrong and Lin Jinrong's powerful maid, you can always find trouble with her, a loser.
Before she could speak, the man had already said with a provocative look on his face: "What are you looking at? Not convinced? Who doesn't know that little thing about you? It's just a dog that the master doesn't want. What do you care about? Don't look at you now.
If you act like a dog and imitate the masters in wearing some silk and satin, in a few days you may not be as good as me!"
These words were heartbreaking, and Fangzhu felt extremely uncomfortable. Looking at the people, they were all watching the fun with their veils raised. Although she was not a popular person in front of her master in the past, she still had some dignity, and because of her
I can do it with men, and I still have a bit of arrogance. Now
She was feeling depressed, but she couldn't bear to pay attention to these people. She lost her identity and dignity by arguing with them. So she turned away with tears in her eyes, found a secluded path, wiped a few tears, and walked slowly to relax.
But this situation is really sad and frustrating in the eyes of others.
The Lu family's garden is very large. Most of the owners live in the south, west, east, and north. There are no people there. Except for a small courtyard where no one lives, there is only a large lotus pond. The lotus pond has been repaired.
A waterside pavilion is a good place to cool off in summer. On midsummer days, the owners of each house and courtyard
People always brought their green gauze cabinets to enjoy the coolness and enjoy the lotus flowers here. But on weekdays it was really inaccessible, and in the afternoon, everyone who was not on errands went to take a lunch break, and those who were errands would not come here, so she thought of coming here to sit and sit.
Avoiding her would save her from leaving the house and letting everyone know that she had nothing to do and was gossiping and gossiping.
The mud in the lotus pond was cleared last winter, and the water is clear. There are lotus leaves in the field. When the wind blows, it makes a "swirling" sound. It looks very green and cute. There are many koi carps in the water, and they are all plump with food.
, the clusters of flowers are exactly what Mr. Lu bought from other places at a high price.
Fangzhu walked half a circle around the pond, and her mood gradually improved, and she felt a bit enlightened. Lin Jinrong was still willing to let her into the yard, and he didn't say anything to death. The reward she just received was a lot of money, and
It's not some fancy pastry or something like that. Then
What does it mean? Lin Jinrong is just showing her off to Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun. She should still be willing to let her go back. She doesn't expect to be the same as before, even if she goes a little further and goes to a tea shop or something, she
I am willing, it is better than being caught in a dilemma.
With this thought, she felt much better, so she went up to the waterside pavilion, found a corner that was not easily noticeable, and sat down to rest. As she sat, she felt a little sleepy. She opened her eyes and looked around.
It was quiet all around, not to mention the shadow of people, not even the chirping of birds, so he gathered up his clothes boldly and lay down half-lying against a pillar to sleep.
A person poked out from the shade of the willow tree beside the lotus pond, stared at her for a while, and then shrank back. Fangzhu didn't know anything about it. She had been worried for several days and couldn't eat or sleep peacefully. She suddenly relaxed.
Even though I was unspeakably tired, I still slept soundly.
…
Mr. Lu also had the habit of taking a lunch break every afternoon. On this day, he first walked around the small flower garden outside Juxian Pavilion, pulled out a few grasses, and then went to the corridor to play with his beloved upside-down sparrow.
Drowsiness gradually came. I just stretched out
When he was lazy, he saw Lu Lun and Lu Xi lying at the window of the study, looking at him eagerly, thinking that these two children would be sent to Taiming Mansion soon, so he felt soft and said, "I'm going to take a lunch break.
If you two don't want to sleep, then go out for a walk."
When Lu Lun heard this, he immediately cheered, turned around, grabbed a book and threw it into the sky. He jumped and ran to catch it. He rubbed Lu Gen's cheek hard twice and said with a smile: "Let's go to the garden."
Take a walk here!”
Lu Gen's eyes were bright with excitement, but he looked at Old Mrs. Lu timidly. Mrs. Lu sighed, walked over and touched Lu Gen's head. When he went to touch Lu Lun, he realized that Lu Lun was as tall as himself.
He couldn't help but laugh. But Lu Lun was naughty, so he leaned down and lowered his head to touch him.
Although Mr. Lu often scolded Lu Lun for being naughty, in fact, he really loved his bold and pure grandson. He couldn't help but laugh and told the boy: "Serve him well and don't let anything go wrong."
Just when he turned around and entered the house, Lu Lun scolded the boy away angrily, sneaking to his yard with Lu Zhen, took out a fishing line and filled it with a knife, flint, salt and pepper.
Waiting for a small package of goods to arrive, he sneaked away from the servants and walked along the remote path towards the north of the garden. He stopped halfway and dug up half a bottle of earthworms in the flower bed.
