As expected, it was Sicui and the three of them who came.
Lin Mengya saw that the three of them looked very haggard, and even their clothes were still the same as when they came back.
However, it is still clean and neat, and even the patches are neatly sewn.
Although life for these three people was difficult, they did not lose their energy.
I couldn't help but feel secretly satisfied.
Apart from being loyal, these three people are also remarkable and indeed useful.
Now, my attitude is much more sincere.
"Sit down, I haven't asked the names of the three of you yet."
The three of them reported their names in a polite manner.
Sicui, Hongli, and Jingui are all housekeepers who help Aunt Fang handle external affairs.
Because I had to be busy with Aunt Fang's various private properties, I was delayed a little and came back late.
And because they are all careless widows.
If Aunt Fang hadn't saved them in the first place, I'm afraid these three people would have become lonely ghosts long ago.
Therefore, after learning the news of Aunt Fang's death, the three of them were filled with sorrow and joy, and planned to come back and see their old master again before committing suicide.
Unexpectedly, I saw a hypocritical villain trying to rob the wife of something she left behind.
This was intolerable to them, but it was a pity that they had something to rely on when Madam was around.
Now that the wife is gone, they have become the targets of bullying in this mansion.
The three of them are not easy to mess with. After this fight, those snobbish guys will also have a headache.
However, when they heard that Madam Duan wanted to do something for Madam, they could no longer bear it.
That woman couldn't even tolerate the flowers and plants in Madam's yard, let alone Madam's most important ritual.
They were afraid that the woman would cause trouble and make Madam uneasy underground. When they were anxious, they learned the news about the visitor from Madam's mother's family.
They have also been observing secretly these past two days.
After discovering that this cousin also disliked seeing Mrs. Duan, they finally rushed to the door impatiently, hoping to do their part.
After hearing them explain their purpose, Lin Mengya was also grateful for their master's sincerity.
"I was just thinking. If I didn't have a few people who are familiar with the household affairs and are considerate and loyal to help me, I'm afraid I would be in a hurry and make people laugh. Now that it's over, it's time for me to thank you three.
"
Sicui quickly said she didn't dare, they just hoped to do their best.
Lin Mengya also noticed the three people's will to die, thinking that they could not let these three people die in vain, but it was difficult to explain clearly, so she could only say vaguely, "If my aunt's spirit is in heaven, I definitely don't want to see you like this." He sacrificed her life in this way. In everything, it is better to look forward. Maybe one day things will turn around and things will turn out differently."
The three of them didn't understand what she said, or even if they did, they didn't dare to think about it.
They just thought that after finishing this matter, it would not be too late to go see their old master.
Lin Mengya knew very well that the best way to convince these three people was to let them see with their own eyes that Aunt Fang was still alive.
But now is not the time.
She asked the three people carefully about what they needed to prepare for a grand ceremony.
Incense, candles, ingots and other things are all available in the house, and because we had to hold a wedding a while ago, we also bought a lot of rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, which will come in handy these days.
In addition to arranging the guests, the most important thing is to invite a few eminent monks, preferably well-known ones, so that there will be nothing missing for the ritual.
But Lin Mengya never expected that she was ready for everything else, but when it came to inviting Gaozeng, she failed again and again.
"What? Elder Kong Jing was invited away again? How long will it take to come back this time?"
This is already the fifth time.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly and looked at Madam Sicui who went to invite the people in person and asked.
The latter also expressed helplessly that Elder Kongjing was picked up halfway this time. The young novice in the temple said that Elder Kongjing would have to go for at least ten and a half months before he could come back.
It is said that that person is a big donor of sesame oil money to the temple. At this time of year, Elder Kongjing is invited to give lectures and has been doing so for several years. It is definitely not a temporary initiative.
"This is difficult to handle. Besides Master Kong Jing, do you have any other candidates?" Lin Mengya asked, frowning.
Sicui shook his head, "If there were, the slaves would have invited him back long ago. Master Kongjing is very famous here, and everyone can only trust him."
Lin Mengya didn't believe that this incident was entirely a coincidence.
It's just that some people want to add fuel to the fire behind her back and see her jokes.
After thinking for a while, she asked again, "Do you have anyone who can choose the one that's a little further away?"
Mentioning this, Sicui hesitated a little, but after thinking about it again, she still said, "Aside from Master Kongjing, there is a Master Yunxi in the Shijia's family temple closest to us. That Yunxi is Master Kongjing
My uncle is also very skilled in Buddhism.
It's just that historians seem to have some interest in him
Well, Master Yunxi once made a vow to recite sutras for historians for ten years. Now I don’t know if ten years have passed."
When Lin Mengya heard this, she quickly waved her hand.
"It doesn't matter whether he has passed or not, as long as you want to pray for the Shi family, it will be the same no matter where you are. You go find Master Yunxi as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, you will kidnap him!"
Sicui was stunned, thinking how could this young lady act like a bandit?
Lin Mengya also felt that what she said seemed a bit wrong, so she quickly changed her words.
"I mean, you have to persuade him with emotion and reason. And tell Master Yunxi that if he is willing to come, the relationship between the Zhao family and the Shi family will be much harmonious in the future. This is better than him chanting
It’s much easier to recite sutras and chant the Buddha’s name.”
Sicui quickly wrote down everything she said and hurriedly went to invite people.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief in her busy schedule.
Although this ritual is not real, talking about cooperation with those aristocratic families is not at all careless.
Thinking of this, she still felt that she had to go see for herself how prepared those people were.
But not long after leaving the yard, I heard a quarrel.
"Where did you get the courage to even deprive my young lady of her belongings? You have just climbed onto a high branch and now you really think of yourself as a phoenix?"
The voice sounded very young, she should be the maid in the house.
In addition, besides her, there are only two people in the house who can be called young ladies.
Obviously, if people are not your own, then there are only those two people.
As soon as she arrived, the crowd suddenly opened a way for her, which made Lin Mengya a little unprepared.
Fortunately, she remained calm and squeezed Cairu's hand, who then said, "What's going on?"
There happened to be a young woman dressed as a maid in the crowd, holding a piece of brightly colored silk.
Seeing her coming, the maid glared at her fiercely, looking very disdainful.
Lin Mengya was a little confused.
She just arrived, okay? Why is this person staring at her?
"Miss Ya."
A maid with red eyes came out of the crowd.
"This slave is following your order to bring this piece of silk to make new clothes for you. Unexpectedly, it was actually snatched away by the people around Miss Jun."
Making new clothes?
Lin Mengya felt that she did not issue this order!
But Jun Rongrong's maid started shouting.
"You shouldn't use my lady's things to make clothes! This piece of cloth, As early as half a year ago, Madam Xian had already promised to my young lady! Even if the head of the family has changed now, it’s hard to go back on your promise, right?”
After the man finished speaking, he looked at her with a rather contemptuous look.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows.
She obviously didn't ask anyone to make new clothes, but now it's like this.
It seems that someone deliberately wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
She glanced lightly at the maid who said she asked her to get the silk, and said with a smile, "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that it was a piece of silk that caused trouble. Someone brought me from home.
I will give you a piece of silk and satin as my apology."
Now, no matter what she does, people will think that she is too petty and will dominate when she is in power, which is really detrimental to her majesty.
Soon, someone brought a piece of goose-yellow satin.
Under the sunlight, the fabric actually shone, just like flowing starlight, so beautiful.
If this silk satin was cut into clothes and worn on the body, I don't know what it would look like.
On the other hand, the cloth in the maid's hand was as different as clouds and mud.
Lin Mengya generously asked people to unfold the fabric so that everyone could see it clearly. After seeing that it was indeed a good piece of material without any flaws, she had people carefully roll it up and send it to them generously.
He gave it to the maid who was already stunned.
"It's all because of the mishandling of my subordinates that this big misunderstanding occurred. I also ask the girl to take this piece of cloth back to express my apology."
The maid nodded dumbly and didn't react until she took both pieces of cloth away.
That’s not right!
According to the order of the young lady, she should have made a big fuss about Miss Ya who had evil thoughts and wanted to steal other people's things when she first took office, so as to make Miss Ya lose face, and then asked her to voluntarily give up the power of the housekeeper.
But now
She glanced at the gleaming fabric and felt a little reluctant to part with it.
It is rare to see such a precious thing, let alone wearing it.
She thought about it and decided to go back and recover first.
Lin Mengya had to gain something to be willing to lose a piece of valuable fabric for no reason.
Everyone was stunned by her handwriting.
Naturally, I thought that with such good fabrics in hand, was she crazy to want such obviously cheaper fabrics to make clothes?
So this matter was probably a misunderstanding as she said.
At the same time, they also gained a new understanding of Lin Mengya's own financial resources.
