The simple residence in the southeast corner of the Lin Mansion is the residence of Dafang. Because Mr. Lin yearns for a rural life, there are no exotic flowers and trees here. There are only a few old apricot trees that have been around for some time and have strange growth.
Laoli, there is also a grape trellis set up in the courtyard, and a well is dug next to the grape trellis, complete with windlass and buckets.
Mrs. Zhou, the eldest wife of the Lin family, walked into the yard with a group of girls and women under the strong sunlight. When she saw the green Xing'er on the branches, she thought of her eldest grandson who had just been born and had pink makeup.
The originally depressed mood suddenly became much lighter: "I am still comfortable in my own room, but it is much cooler than outside."
Everyone laughed and said, "Isn't that right? It's hard for my wife to work so hard, and she still has no leisure in such a big day."
Mrs. Zhou said calmly: "What can I do? The third wife has just come back, and there are guests at home. The old lady asked us to have a good time. How can I disappoint people? I must do it myself." The most important thing is to prevent being caught.
The wicked old woman and the shameless Luo Shi grabbed pigtails.
"Being a wife is hard work." Everyone gathered around Mrs. Zhou into the room, passing handkerchiefs, serving tea, fanning fans, and were busy. Mrs. Zhou waited for the thin layer of sweat on her body to disappear, and then waved her hand and ordered the others to wait.
Asked Pomegranate on the side: "How is it?"
"Madam, the fourth girl chose these four clothing materials." Shiliu quickly took out the four clothing materials and showed them to Zhou.
Zhou's eyes paused on the two items of jade-colored lotus dark pattern thin silk and Xiang-colored thin silk, and smiled softly: "She doesn't know?"
Before the words were spoken clearly, Pomegranate understood what she was asking, and whispered: "I don't know what it was exactly, but Lychee has clearly asked this slave."
Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips tightly, and unconsciously brushed the golden beeswax rosary on her wrist with her hand. Her eyes were heavy and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Pomegranate said cautiously: "Madam, how about I go and remind Lychee?"
Mrs. Zhou suddenly smiled and said warmly: "No, let the sewing room do it well. Don't cut corners or be careless. If you don't do it well, you won't get the monthly money, and you will have to pay for the clothing materials."
Her attitude made Pomegranate slightly surprised, and she answered softly yes.
"Mom, I heard that there is a banquet tonight, right? I want to have wine-steamed anchovies and dried shrimps!" Lin Wu ran in with a smile, went straight to Mrs. Zhou, pulled her sleeves and made a coquettish request. She has been making requests since she was a child.
I love eating these two things the most, but the Lin family is no longer what it used to be. Such expensive foods as anchovies and dried shrimps are rarely seen on the dining table except for Mrs. Lin and his wife and during the holidays.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said lazily: "I already told you to go down. By the time you think about it, the food will be on the table, how can you still have time?" To talk about the benefits of being a master, the simplest is that it is most convenient to satisfy yourself at this time.
People’s hobbies and tastes.
"I know mother loves me the most." Lin Wujiao leaned on Zhou's shoulder and acted coquettishly. When she saw the four pieces of clothing that Shiliu was packing, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, these are not from my two dresses.
What's the material? Why are you still here?"
Pomegranate knew that she had always been stingy and didn't want to express it openly, so she just smiled and said nothing.
Lin Wu understood, and angrily stepped forward and threw the four pieces of clothing to the ground: "Is she making clothes for Lin Si? Why is she so shameless, learning everything from others! Is there anyone in this world except
Is there nothing else besides these two clothing materials?"
"Shut up!" Ms. Zhou slammed the table, raised her eyebrows and said, "You haven't suffered enough yet, have you? Do you want to get slapped again and be imprisoned for a few more days?"
Lin Wu's eyes immediately turned red: "Mom, you saw with your own eyes how she harmed me. She went to the village to soak in the hot springs and live happily to gain a reputation as a virtuous and filial piety, but I was locked up until my sister-in-law gave birth and was released. Okay.
It's easy to do such a pleasant thing as making new clothes, but she comes to tease me again! I won't obey!" She shamelessly took advantage of the opportunity to seduce Lu Mian, but she didn't dare to say this.
Not only had Lin Wu been imprisoned for so long? Even Zhou's position as housekeeper had just been snatched back. If not, how could the Luo family have taken advantage of the thousands of taels of silver? They were the eldest brother, and the money was originally
It should have been more theirs, but now it belongs to everyone. Ms. Zhou gritted her teeth and cursed: "Nonsense! She is the eldest sister. She should have been chosen first before it was your younger sisters' turn. Now you have
She wore it for a month before she did it, what do you think? Is she still not allowed to wear it?"
When Lin Wu heard Zhou's scolding, he became even less enthusiastic and cried: "How dare I have any objection? I am such a good xun player, a master at ordering tea, talented, filial, and kind-hearted.
, who wouldn’t praise her! I’m just not convinced why my grandmother is so partial.”
When Mrs. Zhou heard her saying that Mrs. Lin was partial, she wholeheartedly agreed with her. But when she saw that she still looked confused and felt really angry, she scolded her in a low voice: "Don't you understand?
It’s not her fault alone, but the fight between you and her, both sides will suffer, and others will be given a false accusation! It’s a drag on me all my life!”
After hearing this, Lin Wu stopped crying. He looked up at Mrs. Zhou and said, "Mom, I understand it's not that simple. Please teach me what to do. We are all girls from the Lin family. Why is my grandmother so partial?"
"
A girl's heart is a fragile one. When she was grounded, Lin Liu and Lin Qi had a great time running to the Lu family. Although Lu Yun treated her no differently after coming out, he treated Lin Liu and Lin Qi the same way.
It was also very good, but also had an indescribable familiarity and affection. Lin Liu and Qi often talked to Lu Yun about things she didn't know, and they couldn't get in the way even if they asked her. How could this make her feel bad?
Okay? The most serious blow came when Lu Mian was about to leave for Taiming Mansion to take the exam that day. She shyly stepped forward to wish him success, but he just thanked her lightly and turned around without looking at her.
Leaving, all the words that made her full were held in her stomach, and she had no way to relieve herself. She was so sad. The most disgusting thing was that Lin Qi came to laugh at her.
Zhou said calmly: "The days are still long. Remember, what happened last time was because you were wrong and you embarrassed your fourth sister in public. When you see her later, remember to apologize to her and then return the favor.
She's as good as before. What's two sets of clothes? Just let her wear as much as she likes!"
Lin Wu opened his eyes wide: "What is that going to do?"
Mrs. Zhou said seriously: "I just want to continue to be a good sister to her, respect your third aunt, and treat your seventh brother better." Lin Si first completely lost Lin Yuzhen's favor at the fire party, and then touched Lin Yuzhen again at the village.
The daughter-in-law of the Lu family, seeing that Lin Si couldn't do anything anymore, wouldn't she like to help deal with the second bedroom? Tao's temperament is so easy to deal with, haha...
Lin Wu held his chin and thought for a long time, then nodded and said: "Okay, just like before, she is the only one who can deal with Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister." Thinking back to that day, she just went to provoke Lin Jinrong and suffered a dumb loss.
The great situation was overturned in an instant, and Lin Liu and Qi were advantaged in vain.
Only then did Mrs. Zhou sincerely smile: "You have grown up." The three-bedroom people are all the biological children of Mrs. Lin. One plus one equals two, which is greater than the remaining one. One minus one equals zero, all are less than the remaining one.
Next one. She can do this arithmetic problem.
Before Lin Jinrong went out, she was stopped in the room by the daughter-in-law of the sewing studio to take measurements. The unprecedented enthusiasm of the daughter-in-law of the sewing studio surprised her, not only the style, but also big things like embroidery, as well as the belts and buttons of underwear.
All were seriously discussed and studied.
Li Zhi was even more surprised, and then her enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, and she helped make suggestions. Lin Jinrong was a little uninterested: "Whatever, you are used to it, you can't make clothes that can't be worn."
A daughter-in-law said with a smile: "That's what you say, but the girl doesn't know that the eldest lady has given orders. If you are not satisfied with the performance, not only will the little ones lose their monthly income, but they will also have to pay for the clothing and materials."
Only then did Lin Jinrong become more interested: "Auntie is joking with you."
Another daughter-in-law said: "Yes, the masters are not harsh people, but the younger ones always try their best to satisfy the masters, right? It should be said that the eldest wife is really caring about the girls."
Lin Jinrong satisfied her: "Auntie has always been kind and considerate."
After sending away the two daughters-in-law who were taking measurements, Lizhi asked curiously: "Girl, what do you mean by the eldest lady? Such a big fanfare."
"It's boring." It was just to show that he was virtuous, kind, gentle and tolerant. Lin Jinrong glanced at the closed room at the end of the corridor: "Let Aunt Gui come and accompany me to the dinner. You can take them to clean up the mess."
Pack up the good things. My uncle will ask someone to send money in. You should be careful and don't allow anyone to touch them, including the longan and beans. If others ask, do you know how to answer? "
Lychee said cautiously: "I know."
Shaoqing, neatly tidied up, Nanny Gui came out. Although she tried her best to be energetic, it was not difficult to see her frustration and worry, and she even did not dare to look into Lin Jinrong's eyes.
"It's easy for others to see what happened to Mammy." Lin Jinrong calmly told Mammy Gui her plan: "I can only do this, and it depends on her in the future. You accompany me on this journey tonight.
If she goes to my wife's house in the future, no one will ask her."
Aunt Gui's tears instantly overflowed, but she quickly held them back, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, your kindness..."
Lin Jinrong smiled calmly: "It's boring not to say this. I only know that grandma is not that kind of person, and I can't bear to make you sad." No matter how different there is between a biological child and a child with big breasts, not everyone can do it.
As the years pass, I always think about covering her up and adding clothes, and I don't despise her for being useless and causing myself to suffer. I have seen enough of the harshness of human relationships and the harshness of the world, so I cherish this rare thing.
Aunt Gui took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Yes, I won't say it anymore." If she doesn't say it, she will keep it in her heart.

I just switched to an operating system at work, and it’s hard to use. It’s like a rip-off. Isn’t it said that electronic integration is to improve work efficiency? This is obviously to torture people and test their tolerance, right? Tears...
