Chapter 226: Fleeing

Lin Zhu did not agree to Dr. Zhang's invitation to stay overnight in his house. Instead, she left after lunch. Old Dr. Zhang knew that she was thinking about Fu Dou'er, so he did not try to persuade her to stay. Especially in this situation.

Mu Qiyue needs special attention before his showdown.

Of course, Lin Zhu also received some return gifts when he left, but because the Zhang family did not prepare any special gifts, except for the old doctor Zhang and his wife, as well as the Wang family's return gifts, the other gifts were all ordinary things. Several Zhangs

The young lady at home also returned the things she usually made with her own hands.

"Madam, what do you think of Zhu Yatou?" Old Doctor Zhang returned to Yishou Hall, sat on the main seat in the hall, and asked Mrs. Zhang.

"He is thoughtful." Mrs. Zhang didn't praise or belittle her, she just said it lightly.

"Oh?" Old Doctor Zhang raised his eyebrows, hearing that his wife's tone didn't seem to be very interested in Lin Zhu.

"Sir, Miss Lin is here at this time. Is there anything I want to ask for your help with?" Mrs. Zhang felt that it was unusual for Lin Zhu to be attentive for nothing.

"It's something." Old Doctor Zhang nodded and admitted, but had no intention of going on. Mrs. Zhang looked at him curiously.

"What important thing can a country girl have that she needs to do for you, sir? Why don't you tell me to do it?" There was a hint of probing in Mrs. Zhang's words.

"He?" Old doctor Zhang glanced at his old wife and understood immediately. His wife was a little cold towards Zhu Yatou. It was obvious that someone said some unpleasant words in front of her. Now it seems that she is inseparable from her second son Zhang Weize.

relationship.

Old Doctor Zhang also generally knew what Lin Zhu sent. According to Butler Zhang, it should cost no less than three or four thousand taels of silver, not to mention the so-called local products given to him.

"It's good if he can sort out his own affairs." Old doctor Zhang shook his head. He also knew the second brother's abilities very well. Those who can't get up and get down have not done anything famous in these years except for being able to work hard.

So now he is still a fifth-grade petty official.

"How could the master say that about the second child? No matter how bad he is, he is still your biological son." Mrs. Zhang said somewhat unhappy.

"By the way, there is one more thing I would like to ask you for help with." Mrs. Zhang remembered something and, regardless of her angry mood just now, mentioned to Mr. Zhang.

"What's up?"

"Since you recognize Miss Lin as your god-granddaughter, you must be familiar with the people around her, right?" Mrs. Zhang asked in a roundabout way.

"It's not familiarity. It's just acquaintance." Old Doctor Zhang felt that there was something in her words.

"Miss Lin has a nurturing mother, can she come and teach the girls in our house?" Mrs. Zhang looked like she should take it for granted. She didn't feel embarrassed at all when she made this request.

"Why?" Dr. Zhang was a little unhappy because of his wife's words.

"Why else? The girls in the family are about to get haircut. They should be taught some rules." Otherwise, there would be no good choice for marriage. Of course, Mrs. Zhang did not say this last sentence.

"What's your idea?" Dr. Zhang's tone was obviously not as leisurely as before.

"I also came up with this idea after seeing that the rules of Yun Yatou and Qing Yatou were much better than before. That nurturing mother is no better in our home than in a country girl's home. As long as the master opens his mouth, what will happen?

What if it doesn’t work?”

Mrs. Zhang may not have a strong desire to educate her mother at the beginning. But once she heard that Lin Zhu wanted something from the old man, it was different. As long as the old man still helped her, it was the Zhang family's request.

She had to agree.

"There is no nurturing mother in Zhu Yatou now. Even if there is one, you can't invite her." Old Doctor Zhang finished his words. He was not a soldier, which made Old Mrs. Zhang a little confused.

What does this mean? Is that country girl still unwilling? Mrs. Zhang is a little unhappy.

"Master, you are just a nurturing mother. It must be very difficult for her to come to you. Why, is it so difficult to get a servant from her family? Humph! I don't know how to praise." Mrs. Zhang was very fond of Lin Zhu.

dissatisfied.

"Nonsense!" Old Doctor Zhang was also very angry at his wife's words. He also hoped that the children at home would be well, but is Aunt Chang something that ordinary people can invite? Not to mention the people around Concubine Lan, even if she is here now

The status of General Chang's Mansion is not comparable to that of ordinary nurturing mothers.

"Don't have any ideas about her, she is no longer with Zhu Yatou. Even if she is, Zhu Yatou will let her decide what to do." Old doctor Zhang reminded his wife in a veiled way.

However, Mrs. Zhang couldn't hear the hints in Dr. Zhang's words at this time, and she only focused on her dissatisfaction with Lin Zhu.

"I don't know what kind of effort she has put into Master, but you only protect that girl and don't even care about your own granddaughter." Mrs. Zhang was also a little confused at this time, which gave Mr. Zhang a headache.

If he didn't think about his granddaughter, he wouldn't have taken sisters Zhang Manyun and Zhang Manqing to Linjia Village. The benefits they got there were really great.

But think about it, there is no need to worry about this with his wife. Lin Zhu seemed to have noticed that his family was not happy, so he left wisely, which also gave him face. If the family is still dissatisfied, it will be too embarrassing.

He was disappointed.

Nowadays, he is a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhang, but because she is also doing the best for the children at home, he doesn't have much resentment.

After talking to Mrs. Zhang, she went to the study again.

Although Mrs. Zhang is dissatisfied, she can't say anything wrong with Lin Zhu. After all, the family just received a large number of gifts from Lin Zhu. Although the Zhang family is not short of the money, they will not spend so much money to buy so many jewelry for the family at once.

and clothing materials.

Now in the family, even though some people don't like Lin Zhu very much, at least they won't speak ill of Lin Zhu openly.

"Yun'er, what does this Miss Lin do for a living, and how can she be so generous?" Mrs. Wang came to Zhang Manyun's yard and asked her daughter doubtfully.

"Mom, why are you asking this?" Zhang Manyun glanced at Wang. She used to have an indifferent attitude towards Lin Zhu. Zhang Manyun knew that her mother hated people named Lin the most. Although she didn't understand the reason, she could

As she grew older, she also learned some clues from her parents' conversations. It might be that there was some conflict between her grandfather's family and the Lin family in Beijing, so she couldn't stand anyone with the surname Lin.

"She spent a lot of money to come here, but she didn't ask for anything. Don't you think it's strange?" Mrs. Wang felt that it was not good to accept other people's things for nothing.

"Even if Sister Zhu had something to do, she would only mention it to grandpa. We can't help." Zhang Manyun shook his head and smiled, "Whenever she had something to do in the past, she would ask grandpa and ask him for help.

.”

"Really? Didn't she come to the old man's house to express his kindness because she wanted something from the old man?" Ms. Wang felt that her daughter seemed to take Lin Zhu too simply.

"She can't ask for help from our family at all." Zhang Manyun recalled that Lin Zhu used to talk to the people from Muyue Trading Company in a decent manner, and they were more sophisticated than her brothers at home.

"Really?" Wang didn't quite believe it.

"You will know in a few days." Zhang Manyun also knew that now was not the time to tell Lin Zhu's secret, "By the way, mother, I asked Sister Zhu about some helpful methods for my cousin's face. Let's write and tell her

Let her." Zhang Manyun said excitedly.

"How can a child like her do anything good? Don't just find some weird tricks and let your cousin try them. Her face is already bad enough. Sigh." Mrs. Wang thought of her niece from her mother's brother's family and secretly thought of her.

sigh.

"Her method is very effective," Zhang Manyun nodded firmly. "When we were in Linjia Village, we met a lady from the county magistrate's family. From what she said, the situation was worse than that of my cousin before, but she just used it.

Sister Zhu’s method is how I got better. And I don’t need to take medicine.”

"Really?" Wang's eyes lit up. She heard that she didn't need to take medicine, so there shouldn't be any danger. However, "Aren't you going to use some weird stuff on your face?" she asked worriedly.

.

"No, and it's best to keep your face clean." Zhang Manyun shook his head.

"That's strange. Your cousin has asked some doctors before, either to prescribe medicine or apply it on the face. Although it is not satisfactory, it has some effect. But she has never heard that anything is not allowed to be used on the face." Wang thought.

I have some doubts.

"Mom, I heard that the lady from the county magistrate's family has also arrived in the capital. Let's find some time to ask if she can. Even if she exaggerates, she has a younger sister who is not very compatible with her. She will always tell the truth." Zhang Manyun thought.

In fact, she thought it wouldn't be so troublesome. If she persuaded Lin Zhu to let her cousin live in her house for a while, her cousin's face would definitely get better. But she didn't dare to say this. If she asked about the reason, it would probably cause trouble.

"Okay, let's ask first." To be on the safe side, Wang would ask the cured person first.

On the other hand, Mu Qiyue also took the opportunity to go to Wangcun, wanting to see Fu Douer again to make sure that he had not misjudged his appearance that day.

Unexpectedly, the attack was in vain. The servants of Lin Zhu's family knew Lu Mingtao, so they were kind to them, and told them the news that Lin Zhu was taking Fu Dou'er to the capital, and the return date was uncertain.

So Mu Qiyue returned to the capital and asked Wu Pingan to take him and Lu Mingtao to Lin Zhu's house. But the servants here said that Lin Zhu had just returned to Wangcun.

Another trip was in vain, Mu Qiyue felt as if he had been tricked, and kept venting his anger at Lu Mingtao.

"Fourth Master, calm down, this is just a coincidence." Lu Mingtao was also a little depressed. This is too little.
