Auntie Lin of the Red Chamber

Chapter 36 The Deep Meaning of the Deed

There is an old saying that ginger is still hot when it is old, and it is still very reasonable in some respects.Lin Ruhai only understood one of his old mother's intentions, and the other was not guessed.Last year, Lin Ruhai went on a business trip with King Yongjun, and for nearly four months, there was no one in charge of the Lin family's outer courtyard.Although Lin Ruhai's colleagues and friends took good care of him, it also exposed the fact that the Lin family lacked a strong family man, especially when the housekeepers and stewards of the outer courtyard had different opinions and had internal strife, no one could suppress it. In the end, the old man The wife came forward to solve it.Since then, the old lady began to think about this issue.It will take another ten years before his grandson grows up to be able to take charge of affairs, but during these years, Lin Ruhai will definitely have the opportunity to go out on business.

Ordinarily, Mrs. Lin's natal family is the first choice, but the Yang family has a lot of brothers and nephews, but the relationship with the Lin family has long been estranged, especially the nephews who don't know what is wrong, and stubbornly refuse to go to the Lin family. It is said that they are afraid It is said that they climb relatives to find connections.The old lady has more integrity than the Yang family's nephews, if they don't come, the old lady won't invite them either.

When the old lady visited Wu Xun for the first time, she paid attention to it.After a few questions and answers, the old lady could see that although Wu Xun was younger, his speech was clear and orderly, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, stable and able to stand up to things.It confirms a common saying that the children of the poor are headed home early.

The old lady was very surprised and pleasantly surprised. Looking at Wu Jin, she was simple-minded and honest, and she could tell at a glance that she was well protected, but she never thought that she had such a brother who was shrewd and decisive beyond her age.Such a person who is not a thing in the pool not only has Wu Jin's relationship with the Lin family, but also has a half-teacher friendship with Lin Ruhai. It can even be said that the Lin family helped him up when he was in his infancy. Such kindness, I believe there should be no problem if he is only asked to take care of the Lin Mansion Outer Courtyard when Lin Ruhai is out.

So with the deed, it was borrowed from Wu Jin and handed over to the Wu family.For Wu Xun's studies, the Wu family, not to mention the whole family moved to the city, probably settled in the city.At that time, with more exchanges, many things will be self-evident.

The next day, Changtai was very surprised to find that his mother had slept in late. Although the food from the small kitchen was still delicious, he still felt that something was missing.Even the triplets looked left and right, muttering: "Mother~ Mother~".The nannies and nurses who were waiting around were in a hurry. The little ancestors were only looking for Aunt Wu, even if they didn't eat well, they were all wondering why Aunt Wu suddenly fell asleep. Did you ever think that you might be pregnant again...

Changtai decides to visit his mother, not because he misses his mother very much, but because his younger brothers cannot do without his mother, he is going to help them find a mother.Changtai, who had done a good job of psychological training, ran to the main hall to find the old lady to apply.Seeing that Wu Jin didn't come over at the usual time, the old lady asked the maid to go over and ask. She knew that her son had stayed in Qingbai Courtyard last night, and thought that her son happened to be taking a rest today, so there was nothing else she didn't know.But seeing her eldest grandson looking at her with bright black eyes, the old lady couldn't say no, so she could only hope that her son and the others had already woken up, so they wouldn't be stuck in bed by her grandson...

The old lady didn't mean to see her son get embarrassed this time, and she gave the grandson's mother a wink, signaling to retreat quickly if the situation was not good, and specially arranged for the eldest maid beside her to lead the way, and put on double insurance.As a digression, when the old lady named the big maids around her, she didn't know what kind of wickedness. The four maids were called Jiaren, Liren, Keren, and Prettyren.Of course, these four maids are indeed pretty and beautiful, with good looks, and they are very worthy of their names.The maid who led the way this time was called Jiaren, and the girl who was sent to invite Wu Jin last time and was praised by Wu Jin as a standard model maid was also this girl.

In nearly two years of Changtai's life, except that he was born in Qingbaiyuan, he has never set foot in his mother's territory, but he has no memory of the time of birth, so in Changtai's memory , he came to his mother's place for the first time, so he was very curious, looking at the left and right, he always felt that the scenery was very strange.The beautiful woman has already slowed down to cooperate with the young master, but why did she find that the young master was walking more and more slowly? Just as she was wondering if she was tired from walking and wanted someone to hug her, she saw the young master running towards the wing on the right up.Changtai was strong, and he rushed out like a small cannonball when he ran. When the nanny behind him reacted, he saw that the young master had already reached the gate of the small courtyard.The beauty knew that the place was where Dr. Liu and Aunt Liu lived, so she hurried after her.

Let me add another digression. Before Qingbaiyuan, there was a large courtyard surrounded by houses on three sides. Since Wu Jin lived in, the nuns and maids who followed the service, of course, also lived in other wing rooms, and because of After Wu Jin became pregnant, she arranged for a small kitchen to come in, and the number of people increased again.There are a lot of people and a lot of things, and people who come and go are all in a large courtyard, which is naturally a bit inconvenient.From then on, Nanny Lin thought about separating several small courtyards and arranging the serving people in separately, so she reported the matter to Mrs. Lin, and the old lady also felt that it was not good to go on like this, especially Liu Ying, who was unmarried It is even more inconvenient for a girl to live in.It's just that during Wu Jin's pregnancy, it was not easy to break ground. Fortunately, during Wu Jin's pregnancy, Lin Ruhai went to the yamen during the day and couldn't stay there at night, so he postponed it for now.After Wu Jin gave birth, taking advantage of Wu Jin's confinement and being unable to go out, he worked overtime to renovate small courtyards.Because of her special status, Liu Ying was specially arranged for a small courtyard near the entrance of Qingbai Courtyard.So when Changtai entered the gate, he saw Liu Ying's small courtyard.

What attracted Changtai was the herbal medicine that Liu Ying put in the yard to dry.Changtai studied "Compassion for Farmers" some time ago. In order to vividly express to Changtai the hard work of farmers in farming and the importance of cherishing food, Wu Jin introduced the origin of the rice in his bowl to Changtai in detail.Changtai has a good memory, and he still remembers that the rice needs to be dried after being harvested, so when he saw the herbs drying on the ground from a distance, he thought it was rice, so he rushed over to see that it was believing.

Liu Ying had an appointment with a patient today, and was packing up her tools and preparing to leave when Young Master Lin arrived.After Changtai knocked on the door, he saw that it was Dr. Liu who opened the door, and he was a little scared.Changtai knew this Dr. Liu, his grandma and his mother would come to her when they were sick, and she would make him drink a bitter medicine, he didn't want to drink the bitter medicine, he wanted to run away, he murmured and didn't know what to say ···

Liu Ying was also surprised to see Eldest Young Master Lin at this time, and asked, "Why is Eldest Young Master here?"After trying to find out what was going on, Jiaren followed, and she nodded to Liu Ying as a greeting, then squatted down, and said to Changtai: "Isn't the young master going to Aunt Wu, Aunt is not in this courtyard Here, in the main hall."

When Changtai saw an acquaintance coming, he regained his courage. Instead of answering the beauty's words, he asked Liu Ying: "Doctor Liu, what is drying in the courtyard? Is it rice?"Liu Ying smiled, took two steps forward, took Changtai's hand, walked to the side of the herbs, and explained, "Look, young master, this is herbs, not rice. If there is a chance, I will bring real rice to show the young master." Picking up one from a bamboo basket, he said, "This is called Houttuynia cordata. The young master smells it, and it has a fishy smell, but it can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and sores, stop dysentery and strengthen the stomach, etc."

Changtai took it curiously, and smelled it closely, and it really smelled strange.But he didn't know if the smell was the same as fish, because all he saw was delicious fish porridge, but Dr. Liu, who seemed to be very powerful, said that it was fishy smell, and Changtai was serious about it. He nodded, remembering that this strange smell is fishy.

Dr. Liu saw that Changtai was so cute and well-behaved, and as soon as he liked the nagging temper of being a good teacher, he came up again, took Changtai's hand, and no matter how much a child under two years old could remember, let Changtai go Start Chinese herbal medicine class.

Changtai finally found out. When he gave cultural lessons to his triplets, his younger brothers felt how they felt... Changtai silently confessed to his younger brother, and secretly decided that after he went back, he would never talk to his younger brothers again. Read it, let them play if they like, big deal, I just remind them a few words...

Seeing the development of the gods, the beautiful woman felt a little helpless, but on another thought, it's okay, just go to inform the master and Aunt Wu.After explaining to the accompanying nuns, I went to report the news myself.

The beauty came late, Master Lin and his wife had already woken up and washed up.The reason was that Nanny Lin happened to see the eldest young master entering the door, so she didn't bother to go up to say hello, and turned around and ran to the main hall first.Lin Ruhai had already woken up and was washing up, but Wu Jin was still catching up on sleep.Nanny Lin stepped forward and reported: "The young master is here."

Lin Ruhai wondered why the eldest son came over suddenly, turned around and went into the inner room, and told Wu Jin to get up.Wu Jin hadn't had enough sleep yet, but the culprit was still disturbing her sleep, so angry that she wanted to hit someone with a pillow, but when she heard clearly "Changtai is coming", she woke up instantly.Next, Wu Jin showed Lin Ruhai a quick way to wake up called "fighting wake up". Master Lin was dumbfounded, and when he counted the time, he only had the time to touch a cup of tea. He was amazed.Of course, this way of getting up and washing is rare for ancient people, but modern people know it.I go to bed late at night and wake up late in the morning, and it’s almost time for school and work, so as long as I turn over and sit up, I start to enter a state of fighting against time, basically from the sloppy chicken coop when I climbed out of the bed, to when I go out It has been tidied up to a new look, and it will definitely not take more than 10 minutes.Wu Jin revisited this state at first glance, but still has some nostalgia...
