The old lady of the Lin family in Honglou

In early spring, it turns warm and cold.The capital is indeed a place where high-ranking officials and nobles live, where the rich live in the world. Before the ice and snow outside have melted, pots of gorgeous flowers have entered the high gate compound and become decorations.

Royal grandchildren, nobles, princes and generals, there are a few families that don't have a hothouse, and they give each other gifts, and the Lin family naturally received some with this in-law.

It's not that the Lin family doesn't have a greenhouse, but it's in the south of the Yangtze River. The capital is small and it's not easy to spend such an expense. Years ago, my hometown sent a batch with the new year's goods, and Lin Lin's side hall still had a few pots of Songluo camellia , and almost all the others were sent out. I didn't expect to receive these delicate flowers and leaves now.

Lin Lin circled around a pot of Clivia, really wanted to pinch one and put it on the display plate in the living room. These days, Lin Lin always sneezes when she wakes up in the morning. I was shocked, but Dr. Chen couldn't see anything, so Lin Lin had no choice but to come out for activities in the afternoon. Of course, in this kind of windy weather, she wouldn't go anywhere, so she just looked at these flowers in the side hall.

Looking at this pot of orchids, Lin Lin remembered that orchids are not good to keep indoors, and begonias seem to be the same, so she asked Shuya to see what flowers are in the young master's study, and asked Zhulan to go to the young lady's place to have a look , where are those flowers and so on.

Although Lin Lin felt that the green color hadn't been seen for a long time, she would not put these potted plants in the bedroom. At most, she would let Zhulan and the others work hard to change into this light green decoration.

Shuya came back after a while, and said that there were only two pots of orchids in the young master's room, and there were two more pots at the young grandma's.

Lin Lin said that she knew, and watered the camellia bit by bit with her hands. The flowers and plants here are all taken care of by Lin Lin, so that no one can interfere. Of course, it is also because they are easy to take care of. Lin Lin also likes to grow flowers in modern times.

Just put down the utensils in her hands, Zhulan also came back, Lin Lin looked at Zhulan, continued to look at the buds of the camellia, and asked, "Why did you come back, what's the matter with Lin?"

"It's okay, it's just that the young mistress hasn't had a good rest recently, so I don't want to disturb you, so I chatted with Nanny Lin. There is a pot of spider orchids in the young mistress's room, with a few plum branches inserted, and there are orchids, begonias, and narcissus in the hall."

Lin Lin stopped what she was doing, no wonder it would be bad, she looked at Shuya and said, "Go and see Young Mistress, and then talk to Nanny Lin to see who brought those flowers around Young Mistress? Be careful and inquire. .”

When Shuya heard Madam's order to be so careful, she couldn't help feeling nervous, thinking that something serious had happened and she had missed it, so she hurried to find Nanny Lin.

Orchids and Begonias are not suitable to be indoors, these people don't know if they really don't know, that Liu mama, I really can't see clearly, although she didn't do what happened last time, but there is her shadow, I hope I am not suspicious.

Since the end of the year, Lin Lin has stopped the buyers from buying shrimps, and made people keep an eye on the young mistress's food. It can be said that everyone has to read the delicious food. In this way, it is not easy for those people to do anything, let alone There are so many people missing.

An hour later, the butler came over.

"Ma'am, I have already found all the people I was looking for a year ago, are you going to arrange some people to come into the mansion now?"

Lin Lin thought for a while, yes, those people should also be arranged, "Alright, let's arrange them in two batches. The young mistress has been feeling unwell for the past few days, so don't bother with this matter. After they all come in, you Pick some honest and clever girls and put them among the girls in the front yard, and ask the young lady to pick some more. The young lady has less manpower, and it was not easy to add people before, but now I just make up for it. Then I will pick two second-class people. Girl come in."

Lin Lin looked at the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, have you checked out those who bought in Beijing?"

"I checked it twice and found nothing wrong. Did Madam notice anything?" The housekeeper thought Madam noticed something.

Seeing the butler's questioning, Lin Lin was a little dumb, hehe, it's really nothing, she just wanted to ask casually, "It's nothing, did any of them sign a contract of living?"

"Half of them signed deeds of living." The housekeeper said truthfully.

Lin Lin didn't expect there to be so many, "These people will all stay in the front yard, don't let them run to the back house, wait for those people to come in, arrange some money to let them out, if someone changes the sign, be careful Good for those who stay."

Lin Lin wanted the housekeeper to go down, looked at the things in the room, frowned, and asked Zhuzhi to bring some carbon that was about to be added, and asked Zhulan to take out the plum branch that had just been replaced in the room.

When they bring them over, ask the housekeeper to take them away, and ask the housekeeper to be careful and take them outside to find some doctors to take a good look at them.

Lin Lin is in good health and doesn’t go out much. There’s no reason why the cold weather was fine before, but now that it’s getting warmer, she still sneezes every day. Lin Lin used to be allergic to dust. For so many days, Lin Lin believed that it should be an allergy. This symptom It's hard to see, it could be caused by something in the room.Lin Lin thinks that she should take a look, and besides, there are still many people who can get in touch with these things, even if they are suspicious, it is good for people to take a look.

After the housekeeper left, Zhu Zhi and the others surrounded them, and said cautiously, "Madam, are there any problems with these things?"

Lin Lin patted their hands, "Don't be nervous, just go and take a look, there may not be any problem."

But Zhulan was still nervous, "No, ma'am, you must check everything in the room."

Lin Lin saw that the bamboo branch was also very nervous, so she had to say, "Okay, I'll let you take a good look and go through everything in the room, maybe you can find something?"

Seeing Madam's careless and casual look, Zhuzhi and the others let go of their worries a little bit, but they soon went to the room and began to seriously check.

Seeing how nervous they were, Lin Lin had no choice but to go to the hall to make tea alone. During this time, Lin Lin started to play with making tea, wasting a lot of tea, and her movements became smoother and less pretentious.

When Shuya approached the gate and walked around the screen, she saw Madam making tea by herself, "Madam, what about Zhuzhi and the others? How can Madam let Zhuzhi and them be lazy all the time?" Hey, sometimes Madam just likes someone and forbids others It's really worrying to be around.

Lin Lin saw Shuya coming in, "Shuya, you're back." She waved to Shuya, "Come, let's taste the freshly brewed tea and see if Madam's craftsmanship has improved."

Shuya pretended to be displeased, "Since my wife wants to make good tea, I should let Zhu Zhi take a good look at it here."

Lin Lin smiled and said, "You, they are all busy inside."

Shuya understood a little bit, "Madam must have tormented them on purpose."

Lin Lin coughed twice in a somewhat concealed manner, "This time they have to work on their own, and it has nothing to do with Madam." Lin Lin took a sip of tea, breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Shuya, continued to make tea, and said, "Then What's going on, what did Lin Momo say?"

When it came to business, Shuya returned to her steady demeanor, "Ma'am, the orchids in the young mistress' room were put in by Zhixia, and the plum blossoms were cut and placed by the young mistress herself. The young mistress also had the habit of putting orchids in her boudoir before, but she would change them frequently. That's all. The orchids in the hall are just placed more if the young master likes them, but I can't find who mentioned them."

Lin Lin put down the teapot in her hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea leisurely. It was like this. After a while, she asked, "Did you hear what Liu Momo said?"

"No." Shuya replied, it's normal to put some flowers in the room, did Madam discover something again, "Madam, is there something wrong?"

Lin Lin nodded slowly, "Indeed, there are some things that you may not know if you tell them. Putting orchids in the bedroom will make people sleep bad at night."

Shuya was a little surprised, "Madam, is it because of this that Young Mistress is unwell these days?"

Lin Lin looked away, "Maybe, pregnancy is hard. Also, the narcissus in the hall can also cause discomfort. If you eat it by mistake, it will hinder your appetite. If you put something in it, you will be poisoned. Also It’s about the same with that crabapple.”

"Ah, ma'am, what about the young mistress?" Shuya worried.

"This may not be intentional. After all, they were sent by others. Besides, the young master really likes these. It's normal for the young mistress to put them like this. Who doesn't put them like this. Look at me, if I didn't want to put them together Otherwise, you will put some in." Lin Lin said naturally.

"But the young mistress is pregnant with the little master, what if something happens." Shuya was still worried.

"That's why I asked you to keep an eye on the Young Mistress's courtyard, no matter how big or small it is, you must pay attention to it, otherwise it will be very easy for someone to calculate something."

"Then madam, what should I do now? Those flowers can't just be placed in the young lady's room like this."

"Since it is in the name of the young master, it is natural for the young master to do it. As long as the young master mentions it to the young mistress, it will be done immediately, and it will not be a hindrance if you leave it for a few days. You, you have to keep an eye on Lin Nanny." Keep an eye on those people, it's best to find out who these flowers have passed through. Also, that Liu Nanny is also being watched carefully. These things won't just be counted, you tell the housekeeper about it Come on, by the way, let the housekeeper see who sent it. Whether it's intentional or unintentional, check it out first."

Shuya agreed and wanted to go out. Lin Lin looked at it and said, "Don't worry, the housekeeper may not be free at this time. Let's wait for a while. Go inside and see how Zhuzhi and the others are looking. Come out if you have nothing to do, and open the windows inside for ventilation, and cover the charcoal stove, so you won’t need to heat it for a while.”

After a while, Zhu Zhi came out, Lin Lin looked at Zhu Zhi's flushed face, and smiled, "What's the matter, after being so busy, did you find anything?"

Zhu Zhi poured a cup of tea, drank a couple of sips, and said, "Madam is happy that the servants are busy."

At this time, Shuya also came out, just in time to hear Zhuzhi's words, and said, "It's better to be more careful."

Lin Lin could only smile, and seeing that the time was about the same, she asked Shu Ya to go out first to see if the young master was back, and if she came back, she asked the young master to come over.Shuya knew what was going on, so she hurried down.
