A trace of panic flashed in the matchmaker's eyes, wondering whether she was surrendering herself.
Her hand gently brushed her daughter's face, and the cold feeling made her heart shrink. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Yutong, "Madam, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Are you willing to do anything?" Lin Yutong asked.
The matchmaker held the child tightly in her arms again, "I am willing. I just ask Madam to spare my children and let them grow up safely..."
Lin Yutong looked up at the matchmaker, "Get up!"
Lin Yutong looked at the matchmaker again, and had to say that this woman was a smart woman. Not only smart, but also tough. In that situation, her choice was probably the most correct. She devoted herself to Saburo and earned money for their mother and daughter.
A chance to seize the opportunity. Then he was able to walk away decisively when Saburo was in decline. Then he was able to successfully fall behind the carriage that was sending the three girls back, all the way to the capital. In this chaotic time, a pregnant woman took the three girls with her.
It’s so difficult for a 20-year-old child.
But she did it. Many people may despise matchmakers, but if women in the world were as smart and rational as matchmakers, their fates might be different.
On the one hand, she kept this woman because she disliked the Yin family's troubles and asked the matchmaker to handle it. On the other hand, she also saw Saburo's weakness.
The appearance of the matchmaker gave Lin Yutong some inspiration to solve the problem in the north. No matter what, people will die in war. What if we can win without fighting?
This possibility may not exist!
Lin Yutong just had a rough idea in his mind, but it was not mature yet. Many things had to be discussed with the Fourth Master and relied on the Fourth Master to perfect the implementation.
She slowly retracted her thoughts and looked at the trembling woman standing below, "You are thinking too much. I don't want you to do anything big. You only want to do one thing, so that this group of people will cause less trouble.
okay."
The matchmaker looked up in shock, "Madam, what does this... mean?"
What's the meaning?
"That's what you think." Lin Yutong did not hide his disgust for the other members of the Yin family at all, "I will arrange a house for you and provide you with rice, grains and vegetables every month. I don't care about the rest. As for what you are worried about
, it is too much to worry about being implicated because of the family members of the rebel thief. You are now the family member of the rebel thief, but when Yin Sanlang surrenders, won't you be the same? Generally, for those who surrender voluntarily...the court will also give them a title.
Come to comfort me. You don’t have to worry about food and clothing..."
The matchmaker pursed her lips and said, "A commoner woman will follow Madam's arrangements."
On the one hand, she really has no second choice. On the other hand, based on her understanding of Yin Sanlang, he is not a good person, but he can be a bad person without losing his conscience. He can be regarded as a bad person among good people, and a good person among bad people. And
His greatest skill was not to confuse people, but to understand current affairs. If he could be given a title, no matter how big or small, she thought, he would immediately lead his people to surrender without even thinking about it.
He is such a person.
It seems that not only does he know Yin Sanlang, but this lady also knows this Yin Sanlang better.
Lin Yutong called Chen Hong over and gave instructions.
The next day, in an alley two streets away from the Yin family, the matchmaker officially settled down.
At the end of the alley is a small courtyard house. The houses are all made of blue bricks and large tiles. The main house has a side room and two small courtyards.
There are basic daily necessities inside, and you can turn on the fire when you move in.
The next day, three more girls were sent over. These were my sisters-in-law.
Yin Xing pulled a face, entered a side room, and closed the door. Immediately afterwards, she heard curses inside: "You are a dead person, and you don't even know how to burn a kang. It's so cold in the room, you will freeze to death."
me?"
Yin Tao glanced at the matchmaker with some fear, "Hong... no, it's not. It's the third sister-in-law. Third sister-in-law, Xing'er has a bad temper and doesn't have bad intentions. Is there charcoal in the stove? I'll get some charcoal for her to light.
.”
The matchmaker grabbed Yin Tao and said, "Now we can't buy much charcoal in the capital, not even firewood, so we can save some money. Now we women can all live in a house, and live on the same kang, so we can squeeze together.
Still warm.”
Anyway, they are all unpopular. With that kind of charcoal, naturally you can't wrong your daughter. Anyone who doesn't dislike her will live with her. She can get along with her in peace. Besides, her serious sister-in-law is Yin E
, why should the cousin across the room look down on my sister-in-law? She is not used to her problems.
Yin E is the girl from the first bedroom, while Yin Tao and Yin Xing are the girls from the third bedroom.
The matchmaker knew that Yin Tao had a good temper and was so soft that she had no temper at all, so she quickly said: "Please help me check on Xiaoya, and I will cook you some hot soup."
When Yin Tao arrived at the new place, she could only look at Yin Xing's side room helplessly, then turned around and went to the main room.
Yin E sat on the kang in the room, playing with Xiaoya face to face and throwing stones. Yin Tao sat over and found that the kang was hot and not cold at all. There was an earthen stove at the end of the kang, and there was still steam coming from the pot on the stove.
It's hot. It's actually not that cold in this room.
She wanted to call Yin Xing over, but Yin E caught her.
"Don't call her." Yin E pursed her lips, "Didn't you see Hong... Third sister-in-law, and... Fourth sister-in-law don't like her? How is she?" She said in a low voice: "
I just passed by the entrance of the alley, and there was a beggar sitting there, did you see it?"
Yin Tao shook her head, "Xing'er yelled and cursed all the time. I only cared about her. I didn't have time to look outside. What happened to the beggar?"
Yin E's eyes flashed, and then she shook her head, "No... nothing happened? I just look pitiful." After speaking, she lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, my mother and my two sisters,
Are you still alive?"
Are Mei Shi and Mei Fang plum fragrance? Yin Tao couldn't help but pale as she thought of the fate of the women she saw along the way.
Yin E also thought of something and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Why... why... she didn't die, but my mother and sister..."
"Who is not dead?" Yin Tao asked Yin E.
Yin E quickly shook her head, "No...no one! You heard me..."
A trace of doubt flashed in Yin Tao's eyes, is the servant here?
But at this moment, Lin Yutong received a letter from the Fourth Master and a pot of plum blossoms that were in perfect bloom.
Two days later, he came back, which made Lin Yutong feel happy. He felt lack of energy in doing anything these days, as if his body had lost power and had no motivation.
She was just happy when Cheng Feng came in and whispered: "Madam, Hei Qi is here."
"Ask him to come in." Lin Yutong put away the things on the table, thinking about what happened.
When Hei Qi came in, he behaved very well. He didn't dare to glance around. He just stood with his hands lowered respectfully, "Madam, I'm fine."
Lin Yutong said softly, "Yeah", "What's wrong? What happened again?"
Hei Qi quickly shook his head and reported softly, "It's nothing serious. I just discovered something. I don't know if it's true or not, so I came to report to Madam..."
"Say it." Lin Yutong pointed to the stool and asked him to sit down. It is not a small matter to come here seriously.
"There is a JI restaurant in Huazhi Lane, □□Fangyuan. I heard when I was young that there is a sexy girl who is asking about the fourth master..." Hei Qi said and paused.
Lin Yutong was stunned, what does this mean? The Fourth Master was not the one who went there. She looked at Hei Qi in confusion, "Have you asked? Who is this Chun Qing?"
Hei Qi was stunned, "No matter who it is, as long as the wife doesn't like it, I will do it for you."
Lin Yutong's head was full of black lines and he said hurriedly: "Who do you think I am? I never go to those dirty places. You should find out immediately where this person is from. I'm afraid it's a nail planted by others."
Hei Qixin said, this lady is quite stupid. Is there any cat in the world that doesn't eat fish? But I have done my duty. When I need to use myself in the future, it's okay if the master can think of me. What should the master say now?
, of course he did it.
Watching Hei Qi go out, Lin Yutong was a little irritated. Not because she didn't believe Fourth Master, but because she disliked the trouble of these messy things. She was really afraid that the woman who ended up in the JI Pavilion was from the Yin family.
I have never had so many troubles in my life. When the fourth master was still the fourth master, even though he had many sisters-in-law, they were all well-educated people. At that time, the royal family was not big, so how could it be? But I really don’t feel that sad.
.
In my previous life, it was all trivial matters for my family. When it comes to trouble, it really doesn’t count. The key is that after we have been together for a long time, whether it is with the Yin family or the Lin family, we have feelings for each other. When we accept it psychologically
, then all the troubles would no longer be troubles. She really didn’t feel that she had met too many great people. It was Yin Zhen’s wonderful biological mother, who had gone through so many troubles and never saw her, how bad it could be.
But it's different now. You said the clan is divided, but who doesn't know that they are closely related by blood. If the women of the Yin family really fall into that kind of place, what will happen to their reputation?
Is there really no one pointing fingers behind my and Fourth Master’s backs?
I’m still not sure how it will be recorded in history books in the future.
Hei Qi came back very quickly, and when he saw Lin Yutong, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Master..."
The ominous premonition in Lin Yutong's heart became more and more serious, "Say it! In this world, anything can happen."
The corner of Heizi's mouth moved, and it took him a long time to whisper: "The Qingqing was sold to JI Hall not long ago. It was the first batch of disaster victims that the fourth master let in after he took over the capital. I heard that his surname was Yin, but
The specific name was short, so I didn’t inquire about it in detail. I only know that she was secretly sold by her own mother for five taels of silver.”
Lin Yutong's eyes were filled with stars, and she asked angrily: "That girl...how old is she?"
"She looks sixteen or seventeen years old." Hei Qi lowered his head, "But maybe the person who sold her is not her mother..."
"How do you say this?" Lin Yutong turned around and asked.
Hei Qi whispered: "It is said that the girl's mother is quite old... she is not suitable for her age!" A sixty-year-old can be a grandmother to a sixteen-year-old!
