"How is the seventh young master?" Back at the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Lin sat in her room and asked Qi's mother.
"Back to Madam, the Seventh Young Master is asleep." From the commotion in Tianyou Temple to the return to the mansion, now she was tired and fell asleep. Qi's mother let out a long sigh.
"Have you told the third family?" Mrs. Lin asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes." Mother Qi nodded, seeming hesitant to speak.
"What did she say?" Mrs. Lin's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"The third lady only said that she would severely punish Mr. Zhou, but she didn't say anything else." Ms. Qi lowered her head and replied.
"Huh." Mrs. Lin just snorted softly after hearing this and said nothing. But Mrs. Qi felt a little uneasy at this time. Although the third lady, Mrs. Zhao, did not complain about anything, her face was very bad and gloomy.
.
Naturally, Mother Qi couldn't talk about these things with Mrs. Lin. These were matters between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she, a small servant, couldn't get involved.
"Have you found out the identity of the girl that the seventh young master has been clamoring to see?" Mrs. Lin raised her eyes and looked at Qi's mother below.
"I checked according to my cousin's instructions. This girl Lin Zhu has just come to the capital not long ago. She has a house in the west of the city. There are only two siblings in the family. However, she does not live in the capital now, but in the countryside."
Qi's mother told Lin Zhu's current situation in a few words.
"Oh, she really has no parents?" Mrs. Lin felt strange, "Then what does she do for a living?"
"Farming in the countryside and living on some land." Qi's mother reported everything she learned to Mrs. Lin. "I heard from people near her home that she had never seen her parents. When the new home was built, she hosted a banquet for all the neighbors.
She did it all by herself, and she did it very well."
"So this Lin Zhu is very good at doing things." Mrs. Lin raised her fingers and tapped the table lightly, wondering what she was thinking about.
"Yes, but now she has returned to the countryside and has not lived in the house in the capital for a long time." Qi's mother could not see Mrs. Lin's reaction.
"Then do you think she deliberately approached the Seventh Young Master unintentionally or under someone's instigation?" After a while, Mrs. Lin suddenly asked.
"This..." Qi's mother was a little embarrassed.
"Say what you think, don't hesitate." Mrs. Lin saw that she didn't dare to say anything.
"From the slave's point of view, this Miss Lin does not seem to have been instigated by anyone. The conversation between her and the seventh young master did not appear to be deliberately trying to please. It seems that she does not want to have too much entanglement with the house, otherwise she would not
He only asked for fifty taels of silver and left without even leaving a name." Qi's mother boldly said what she was thinking.
"Yes." Mrs. Lin nodded, "Go on."
"My servant feels that this girl Lin doesn't seem to be short of money. I heard from Master Huiming in the temple that she donated all the fifty taels to the temple for charity in the temple. She also heard that a bridge was going to be built in the temple.
She added another fifty taels. With my humble opinion, she just happened to meet the seventh young master and saw him alone, so she kindly comforted him." After Qi's mother finished speaking, she secretly looked at Mrs. Lin's reaction.
, found that she did not have an unhappy expression, and felt a little more relaxed.
"Then what do you think she meant by what she said to the seventh young master later?" Mrs. Lin was a little unhappy that Lin Zhu agreed to meet Lin Yuewei. She didn't want her granddaughter to associate with an unrelated person again, and Lin Yuewei was still young.
.The origin of Lin Zhu is unknown again.
"My servant felt that it was not easy for her to refuse the seventh young master in person, so she asked him to come and ask for your instructions." Qi's mother's answer meant to excuse Lin Zhu, but Mrs. Lin felt that it was also very reasonable.
"I heard that Qingxue trained the Seventh Young Master?" Mrs. Lin loved Lin Yuewei the most, and although the words Lin Zhu and Lin Yuewei said, although the tone was not very gentle, they actually thought of Lin Yuewei, so Mrs. Lin scolded Lin Qingxue.
Lin Yuewei was very dissatisfied.
"The seventh young master was a little unhappy after he got in the car, so the fourth lady said a few words. She was also doing it for the seventh young master's benefit." Qi's mother said in an evasive way.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin waved her hand, "Okay, you don't have to say good things for her." Mrs. Lin knew Lin Qingxue's temper very well. This time, she was too petty and angry. She only cared about her own face, but she didn't care about her younger brother.
is not enough.
"Miss Fourth is still young and has a bit of a temper."
"Well, you can ask people to pay attention to see if there is a suitable mother to educate them. It is also time to find some people to teach them the rules." Among the younger generations of the Lin family, except for Lin Qingyue, who is already married, the remaining girls
Only one of them is engaged, and the others are still young, so it’s the right time to ask the foster mother for advice.
"Yes, I will arrange for someone to look for you now." Mother Qi followed the order.
Mrs. Lin dismissed all the maids around her and sat alone in the room, meditating.
She always felt that the name Lin Zhu was very familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time without any clue, she finally had to give up, but she still remembered Lin Zhu's appearance deeply.
In the yard of the third room of the Lin family, Mr. Zhou knelt in the hall, kowtowing to the third wife, Mrs. Zhao, and asked for forgiveness. "Madam, please forgive me this time. It seems that for the sake of your dedicated service before, please forgive me."
This time, slave." He was crying and shouting, looking very embarrassed.
Mrs. Zhou is the housekeeper brought by Ms. Zhao from her natal family. She has always had a high status among the servants of the third house. However, she is very stingy and mean. Apart from being able to please Mrs. Zhao, her relationship with other servants is not good.
Very good, so now many people see her jokes.
Mrs. Zhao secretly hated her for causing her to lose face in front of Mrs. Lin, and also hated her for almost losing her son. However, after all, she was the person specially sent to her by her mother, and she had indeed helped her a lot before.
So Mrs. Zhao treated her lightly, reprimanded her severely, fined her a salary of half a year, and asked her to go home and reflect, but she did not say when she would come back.
Mrs. Zhou was very glad that Mr. Zhao didn't say anything about kicking her out of the house, so she left with a lot of gratitude. As for when she would return to the Lin Mansion to take up her post, that was a matter for another day.
After Mrs. Zhao punished Mrs. Zhou, she went to her youngest son Lin Yuewei's room.
"How about the Seventh Young Master?" Now Lin Yuewei's personal mother was personally appointed by Mrs. Lin. Her surname is Yu.
"Replying to the Third Madam, the Seventh Young Master is still sleeping." Yu Shifu bowed and replied respectfully.
"Since mother appointed you here, she naturally trusts you very much. Don't let us down." Mrs. Zhao glanced at Mr. Yu, said something meaningful, then turned and left.
Yu lowered her head and waited until she was far away before raising her head. There was an unknown meaning in her eyes, but she regained her composure in the blink of an eye.
Lin Zhu returned to Wangcun's home. Together with Qian Xuehui, he distributed the gifts to Fu Dou'er and the others, and played with them for a while before returning to his room to rest.
"You're tired too, go down and rest." Seeing that Minglu was still with him, Lin Zhu sent her to rest. "Go to Mother Xu first. Let her put some medicine on your arm." Lin Zhu
Zhu again instructed.
"Yes, girl." Minglu agreed, turned around and left Lin Zhu's house to find Mrs. Xu.
Lin Zhu originally wanted to rest for a while, but suddenly he saw the box Ming Lu placed on the table. It was the box given by Wang Qingyan's mother, Wanshi. She was a little curious and wanted to open it and take a look.
The box was not big, which meant that there wasn't much in it. After opening the box, Lin Zhu was a little dumbfounded. She admitted that she shouldn't believe what others said about a small thank you being disrespectful.
As soon as the box was opened, the golden light almost dazzled Lin Zhu's eyes. It turned out to be a head and face made of pure gold.
Lin Zhu always felt like a nouveau riche when it came to jewelry made of gold, but this set given by Wan was different. It was very grand and luxurious. The style was also unconventional. Lin Zhu picked up the earrings and compared them in the mirror. They were very surprised.
Suitable and beautiful.
But at her current age, these things will have to be kept in the box for a few more years. Who has ever seen an eleven or twelve-year-old girl going out with a head full of gold jewelry?
After playing with it for a while, Lin Zhu was satisfied and wanted to put them into the space.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, she paused. She remembered that there were many pieces of jewelry kept there in her own space, and they had not been sorted out for a long time. She might as well take this opportunity to sort them out.
So, like magic, she spread all the jewelry she had collected over the past two years on the table.
Lin Zhu, like most women, likes jewelry very much, but she especially likes jade jewelry, so most of the ones given by Dr. Zhang and others, as well as those she bought herself, are made of white jade or jadeite.
However, there are some silver jewelry, but not many gold jewelry.
Lin Zhu put the jewelry into categories. She found that because the jade jewelry had been placed in the space, maybe the space had a moisturizing effect on them, so the jade became more oily and shiny.
Lin Zhu picked up an jade bracelet. It was crystal clear and green, and she couldn't help but wear it on her hand.
The white and tender wrist, paired with the emerald green bracelet, complemented each other so well that Lin Zhu decided not to take it off.
When she finished arranging all the jewelry, Lin Zhu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She was really a little tired, but she was in very good spirits.
Women's resistance to jewelry is really low.
Lin Zhu decided to leave those silver ornaments outside. I heard from Feng Yuanbo that several people in the farm in Song County seemed to be getting married, so they happened to give some as gifts. It was both a reward and a sign of dignity. I believe they would like it very much.
.
Lin Zhu took out all the silver hairpins, silver earrings, and silver bracelets and put them in a separate box. The silver bracelets were all in pairs. She counted five pairs.
When I was about to put it away, I found that there was a single silver bracelet. I was afraid that I was careless and did not take out all the jewelry in the space.
So Lin Zhu checked the space again, and found that nothing was missing. Then she looked at the single silver bracelet again.
She only gave silver jewelry to others when she was in Linjia Village, but the bracelets were given in pairs, and the more she looked at them, the more familiar they seemed.
This, isn't this very similar to the bracelet on the wrist of her mother, the Tsing Yi stewardess at the Lin family?
Thinking of this, she recalled where the silver bracelet came from.
When she first came to this era, the person responsible for taking care of her predecessor was about to leave. She tested the magical function of space on the Wang family, and this bracelet was obtained from her.
Is there any relationship between these two people?
The Lin family, Steward Lin, and the Wang family all have similar silver bracelets. Is this a coincidence?
Lin Zhu was stunned. Had Gouxue's life experience been discovered by him?
Lin Zhu suddenly felt a little inexplicably scared. She quickly put the silver bracelet into the space and decided not to take it out again.
Regardless of whether her predecessor had any relationship with the Lin family, she was determined to live freely in this life and had no desire to enter the life of a wealthy family.
Lin Zhu took advantage of the situation and put other jewelry into the space, leaving only the silver jewelry.
After putting it away, Lin Zhu sat on the chair and quietly calmed down the panic he had just felt.
She felt that her heart was beating so hard, as if it was about to burst out of her chest. Although she wanted to find someone to talk to at this time, the most ideal person to talk to was Aunt Chang, but unfortunately she was still in the General's Mansion.
Lin Zhu had no choice but to digest the conjecture she had just made. Now she had one more thing she wanted to find out. That was the relationship between the Lin family and herself.
Moreover, the Wang family seems to hate the Lin family, so the Wang family should have a deep understanding of the Lin family. It might be better to inquire about the Lin family's situation from the Wang family instead of asking blindly.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhu secretly decided to ask Wang Qingyan about the situation of the Lin family from her next time.
Moreover, Lin Zhu was not prepared to tell anyone except Aunt Chang, including Feng Yuanbo and the others, about this matter.
Lin Zhu was in a bad mood because of this incident, so he didn't eat dinner and just stayed in the house alone.
This made other people in the family very worried. Feng Yuanbo and others knocked on the door several times but could not get into the house.
"Minglu, is there anything else unhappy about the girl today?" Feng Yuanbo asked.
"No, except for the Lin family, the girl has never been happy, and she was also very happy chatting with the Wang family." Minglu really couldn't think of anything wrong with Lin Zhu.
"What's wrong?" Chang Shi asked with concern when he saw Feng Yuanbo and others looking sad in the hall. Ever since he was rescued by Mu Qiyue, Chang Shi has been living in his house in Wangcun. Now Mu Qiyue
Qi Yue returned to the capital, and because he knew Chang Shi wanted to stay with Lin Zhu, he didn't take him away.
So Chang Shi stayed with Lin Zhu and was responsible for teaching Fu Dou'er's three children martial arts.
Because his identity was too sensitive, although Feng Yuanbo wanted to give him the position of housekeeper, he still refused. Now was not a good time for him to show his face too much. Besides, Feng Yuanbo did a good job, and he never thought about taking Feng Yuanbo's position.
