"The Xue family's aunt is here, so we have to give her a good reception. After all, this thousand-mile journey is really hard. Girl Feng, I'll leave this matter to you. If the Xue family is willing to stay at our house, they will clean the Lixiang Courtyard.
Come out." Jia Mu said happily.
Wang Xifeng quickly nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "The old lady is the most kind-hearted. I am here to pat my chest and give you a military order, promising to take good care of my aunt's family."
"You are such a hottie, but you are still trying to pull off the skin of a tiger. Isn't Mrs. Xue's aunt your own aunt?" Jia Mu laughed.
Sister Feng drooped her face in an exaggerated manner: "My little calculations cannot escape the dazzling eyes of my ancestors."
"Hahaha……"
Among everyone, only Wang Xifeng could joke with Jia Mu casually.
Whenever this happens, it is the happiest time in the room.
Therefore, the room is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
After the joke, Wang Xifeng also went to receive guests in a hurry.
The arrival of a relative of the Xue family in Rongguo Mansion is both the icing on the cake and a timely help.
You must know that in order to build a villa for relatives, the Jia family has invested a lot of gold and silver, and they are worried about having more income and more income. By chance, the Xue family has come to Beijing.
The Xue family is an imperial businessman, and their family assets are no less than one million.
Now that the head of the Xue family has passed away, Xue Pan, the eldest son of the Xue family, is also worried. Because he killed someone in Jinling, the Xue family left Jinling and came to the capital. Mrs. Xue is the biological sister of Mrs. Wang, so she relied on her reputation as a noble concubine.
, it would be great if we could borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Xue family to solve the urgent needs of the Jia family.
Therefore, it is really timely for the Xue family to come to Beijing at this time.
Regarding this matter, although Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang have never communicated, they are both well versed in how to deal with things in the inner house. Even if they have not communicated, they have a clear understanding of each other, echo each other, and have a tacit understanding of cooperation.
Naturally, Lin Zhao didn't know about the Xue family's arrival in Beijing, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
After a busy day, he quickly sorted out all his affairs, and at three o'clock in the morning he finished all matters and took a few soldiers home.
Now Daiyu is being taught by Aunt Rong and Aunt Li to manage the affairs of the Lin family in the capital. She is not required to be as hands-on as Sister Feng, but she is only allowed to know some ways of the world and get some exposure to the fireworks of the world.
You must know that Lin Ruhai has a prosperous official career, and his son is very worry-free. Unlike some people who rely on their girls to find a future, Daiyu's upbringing is rigorous but not harsh. Therefore, Daiyu grew up as an extremely relaxed and rigorous person.
When you grow up in an educational environment and are healthy physically and mentally, you will no longer feel sad about spring and autumn, and your temperament will gradually become more relaxed.
Lin Zhao brought Daiyu to the capital and gave her a detailed analysis before doing anything, so Daiyu had no reason to control her petty temper.
Now there are four first-class maids around Daiyu, namely Lingge, Tingyi, Wenyin, and Miaohe.
Lin Zhao had given instructions early in the morning, and every morning, arrange for a first-class maid to open the warehouse, take out the Lin family's best bird's nests, and stew them for Daiyu to drink.
Therefore, since she cared so much about Daiyu's details, Daiyu was naturally very grateful to her brother and wanted to do something for him.
But she was only ten years old, so what could she do to help her brother? After thinking for a long time, she arranged for someone to ask the little maid next to Lin Mo to get his measurements and trace the shape to make shoes for Lin Zhao.
In fact, Lin Zhao doesn't need a maid to take care of him in his daily life. He just needs a few people to communicate with the backyard. Can't he just let the servant talk to the maid next to Daiyu about everything?
Suddenly Xue Yan came in and said with a smile: "Girl, the uncle is here." She was about to take it away, but it was too late and asked Lin Zhao to take a thorough look.
Lin Zhao laughed when he saw his sister making shoes for him: "The shoes made by girls must be very delicate, but I can only wear them in the house. If word spreads outside, they will wear out in three or two days."
Then you have to do it again."
Daiyu chuckled: "Others wear shoes, but my brother eats shoes?"
"I'm busy with foreign affairs, running back and forth, and my brother is in the military service. Of course, he can't wear the exquisite shoes made by the girl's family." Lin Zhao waved his hands disapprovingly and found a seat to sit down.
Daiyu smiled, brought a cup of tea to her personally, sat aside, and asked with a smile: "Since my brother is in the military position and is in charge of the training of the new army, why are you back so early?"
Lin Zhaodao: "As a superior, what I control is the overall situation, what I arrange is personnel, and what I embody is discipline and willpower. As long as you do these things well, it doesn't matter even if you get off work early, not to mention I am on duty on time."
.”
Daiyu nodded and added: "Grandma sent another message today. The day after tomorrow is my uncle's birthday, and we are invited to attend a banquet at his house that day."
Lin Zhao smiled faintly: "Our grandmother has always disliked my uncle, and even kicked the man to live in the back garden. How could we celebrate his birthday for no reason? Let a bunch of people go to his house to make fun of him.
Isn’t there any rules in his family? On that day, he will say that I have official duties and won’t go, and he will make up for it with a generous gift for me.”
Daiyu nodded and said with a smile: "Since my brother has official duties and cannot be separated from others in the house, I won't go either. I will only give a gift to my eldest uncle. Now I finally understand why my brother doesn't let me be with him."
It’s really unbearable to have too many contacts in that house. How come the closest relatives of the whole family are like black-eyed chickens, insisting on fighting to the death?”
Lin Zhaodao: "It's not that I'm criticizing behind my back. The source of this matter is the old lady's partiality. If my old man passed away back then, the old lady would be able to talk and act clearly and understand the principles of what is long and what is young. It will not be the same today.
It will make the first bedroom resentful and the second bedroom unwilling to accept it."
Daiyu sighed: "Grandma loves my second uncle very much, but she shouldn't let him go beyond his limits. Now that she is still doing well, will the second uncle really be able to occupy her and not leave her when the day comes?"
Lin Zhaodao: "Don't believe it, they still have such an idea, otherwise how could the virtuous concubine enter the palace?"
Daiyu said: "Although I am young, I also know that, let alone cousin Yuanchun, she is just a virtuous concubine. Even if she is a queen, she cannot go beyond the law, right? My uncle's family just eats, drinks and has a lot of fun, and is serious.
There are almost no charges against me, but there are a lot of things going on in my second uncle's family. Considering this, my second uncle is still reluctant to let go. The rift between the two families is getting bigger and bigger, and it will definitely cause trouble for Xiao Qiang in the future."
Lin Zhaodao: "This is not the worst."
Daiyu sighed heavily and said, "That's right. Grandma didn't realize it at all, or even if she did, she just pretended she didn't see it. That's the worst thing."
Lin Zhao patted Daiyu's head and said: "I heard that before my mother left the cabinet, she tried to persuade her many times, but the old lady didn't listen. She even complained about it, not to mention us."
Daiyu nodded slightly and said nothing.
The two talked for a while, and then Lin Zhao returned to his yard.
After cleaning up, Lin Zhao called a few personal guards and prepared to go out.
