The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

The Lin family's Zhuangzi is located at the foot of Dongshan Mountain outside the city of Kyoto. Jia Min and Lin Ruhai are both elegant people. The temporary house they bought has a bit of an outdoor peach garden atmosphere, but it is limited to its location and surrounding scenery. In the long-term situation of no master's control, the housekeeper and housekeeper's wife have become the tyrants of this village, and Lin Daiyu's sudden arrival has become the last thing they want to see.

Xueyan pouted, while cleaning the room, she looked at her own girl who was sitting silently at the table, not knowing what she was thinking about. A little contemptuous, and at the moment, no one takes good care of her. It is obvious that the slave is bullying the master, but her own girl just looked at it and said nothing.

After waiting for a while, Lin Daiyu stood up and said to Xueyan, who was looking depressed, "Snowyan, don't mess with it, go and announce that all the stewards and workers are waiting in the yard. If anyone can't come, tell me." He sent it straight away."

After hearing Lin Daiyu's words, Xueyan knew that her girl was about to make a move, and her heart hardened, so she ran out cheerfully. Lin Daiyu looked at the door, looked at the simple room, squeezed her cuffs, and said to her sister-in-law What you learn along the way will always be put to use!

The stewards in Zhuangzi got the news, and although forced by Xue Yan's words of "dismissing directly", they reluctantly gathered in the yard, but they all looked down on them after all. The housekeeper Lao Chen and his wife Li sat in the hall In the main position in the house, as if he was training others by himself, he waited for Lin Daiyu's arrival.

After a while, I heard a crisp voice saying "Miss is here"

The workers looked over curiously, and when they saw a slim woman in plain white clothes with a half-veiled face coming slowly, followed by the little girl in green clothes, they knew that this was the new eldest lady Now, when everyone saw Lin Daiyu's petite figure and described it as small, they felt contemptuous.

Lin Daiyu had been studying stewardship with the queen for some time, and she naturally understood the attitude of these unreasonable slaves. She walked over slowly and saw the steward and the steward's wife sitting in her place without speaking. After a while, everyone saw Dai Yu still didn't speak, and she felt a little impatient, Daiyu said seriously, "Everyone, don't worry, I still have to wait for a guest to come."

After a while, I saw a gatekeeper leading a toothmaid and a burly strong man in. The woman came in and saw a group of people standing in the yard, thinking about the business later, she was very happy. After seeing Daiyu, he walked up cheerfully, "My Miss Lin, my wife, I am not late."

Lin Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Mother came in time, I have so many workers here, I will ask mother to take some back later, and I will never break my promise."

After hearing this, the chrysanthemum on the woman's face bloomed, "The old woman will not believe what the young lady said, no, the car outside is ready, waiting for your order,"

Daiyu nodded and said, "Then please wait for a moment, mother." Then she walked to the front of the crowd. Xueyan came over, holding a box. Everyone was puzzled when they saw it. Lin Daiyu opened the box in Xueyan's hand and took out a The paper came and said to everyone, "Chen Yuan, sold himself to the Lin family in the 13th year of the Tianchao, with a death contract." When everyone still didn't understand what he meant, he took out another piece of paper, "Li Chunhua, sold himself to the Lin family in the 11th year of the Tianchao, with a death contract. " Then after reading a few deeds of selling their lives in succession, they said to the matchmaker that these people were given to their mother, and they will be dealt with by her from now on. "

The housekeeper, Old Chen, and the wife, Li Shi, originally thought that Lin Daiyu was a delicate young lady who would not be able to make any troubles, and she would let herself decide in the future, so they didn't take it seriously at the beginning. When she started to read the deed, I also thought that the young lady was trying to scare people, but I didn't expect to give myself and those people to the toothmaid, so I panicked.

"Miss, why do you dare to send us away?" the butler, Old Chen, shouted at Lin Daiyu angrily, and was about to rush over as he spoke. Lin Daiyu said calmly, "You sold yourself to my Lin family, and I decide whether you live or die. Don't say that now you are just giving away, even if you are beaten to death, the officials have nothing to do with it."

The other people whose names were called were about to resist, but the toothmaid looked calm when she saw this. This kind of thing happened too often. The men in gray clothes surrounded the courtyard, and everyone dared not speak when they saw this situation.

Lin Daiyu said calmly, "Everyone whose name was called just now, go with this mother Wu. The temple in my Lin residence is too small to accommodate everyone. If there are still people who want to leave, I will not stop them. I will give the deed to this mother." Now, whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with the Lin family," and said to Xueyan next to him, "Xueyan, give the deed of sale to Mama Wu just now",

Xueyan nodded in agreement, and handed the deed of sale in the box to the old lady, who happily accepted it. This is the first time I have encountered such a free transaction. This Miss Lin is really generous, and she gave herself ten dollars for nothing. Come here, save dozens of taels of silver.

When everyone saw that the matter was settled, they panicked. Mrs. Li knelt on the ground with a thud, and wanted to hug Lin Daiyu's leg. Lin Daiyu moved back, but Mrs. Li had no choice but to kowtow, begging for mercy, her forehead was swollen. Big bag.Lin Daiyu's eyes flickered for a moment, but she finally looked away. The people below who had just been named also pleaded for mercy, and suddenly cried out.

The toothmaid was a little anxious, worried that Lin Daiyu would go back on her word, and was about to have someone come forward to arrest her, when she saw Lin Daiyu coldly said, "The one who has just been called to stand up, don't let people think that the slaves in our house have no rules. If you are noisy, let Mama Wu sell you to the black mine. If you are not named, please be quiet, if I know that you are a little restless, then go with Mama Wu."

Everyone didn't dare to quarrel after hearing this. It's a joke, then Mrs. Wu Ya is the worst matchmaker. If people fall into her hands, they will be sold to some bad employers. If it is worse, He will go to the black mine to dig black stones, and then there will really be no way out.Those servants who didn't name their names trembled in their hearts, worrying that they would be the next one. Now they have firmly remembered that the thin girl in front of them is not as weak as they imagined. She is in control of her life. Kill the powerful Miss Lin family.

After the toothmaid was thankful and took the ten or so servants of Lin's mansion away, Lin Daiyu began to assign tasks to the remaining 20 or so servants.Referring to the booklets that memorized the basic information of these servants, I ordered Mother Liu, who used to be in charge of the kitchen, to manage the kitchen and the daily chores of the house, and let Uncle Zhang, the gatekeeper, be in charge of the workers in the house, and Xueyan was in charge of the daily work. The maid in the inner courtyard.Everyone received the order respectfully, and Lin Daiyu asked the accountant to take the usual account books into the study, and then everyone left.Everyone retreated tremblingly.Lin Daiyu took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the chair in the main room and rubbed her forehead wearily.

Xueyan came over with a cup of tea and put it in Lin Daiyu's hand, hesitating in her heart, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it, Lin Daiyu saw it, sighed, and said, "I know what you want to ask me, are you I want to know why I sent so many people away at once, do you think I am too cruel?"

Xueyan whispered, "I don't mean that, it's just ``` just not like your past ````"

Lin Daiyu sneered and said, "What happened in the past? In the past, I gave in in every possible way and thought about everything. The empress mother is right. People can't live in the world without knowing anything, and they can't escape because of the ugliness of the world. Now we are alone here, in the house." Your servants have already despised me to this point, if you hold back any longer, there will really be no place for us.”

Lin Daiyu stood up and looked at the misty twilight outside the door, as if looking into the unknown distance through the twilight, and said leisurely, "As the emperor's wife once taught, everyone in the world is weak when they are strong, and strong when they are weak. I don't want to Those who are weak can only become strong"

Seeing her young lady like this, Xueyan felt sad and relieved. My young lady thought about it, and she would not let others bully her in the future, but how much bitterness did she pay for it? "

In the following days, Lin Daiyu began to pay attention to the products and output of Zhuangzili. Because of the location of the backing, the soil and climate are suitable for planting herbs, so most of the Zhuangzili was used as medicine fields. Lin Daiyu also became a doctor after a long illness. , I have a little understanding of medical theory, so I also care about the varieties of herbs. The herbs in Zhuangzi have been sold to the medical clinics in the city before, and the price is reasonable, but the production has not been enough, and the survival rate of herbs is not high. The income is not great.

Xiao Rong got the news the day after Lin Daiyu sent his servants away. At that time, Xiao Rong was lying on a recliner in Changle Palace watching "Miscellaneous Notes of the Heavenly Dynasty". Then he couldn't help laughing out loud, it really is a child who can be taught, and it's time to explode, he ordered the hidden guards to continue to secretly protect Lin Daiyu, and told them to report any difficulties in time, then happily went to the queen I went to the palace.

When the queen heard the news about Xiao Ronglai, she was dealing with her own sister, Chen Moxue. The queen expressed a headache for this little girl who didn't play cards according to common sense. Hurry up and lead Chen Moxue and the palace staff to the door to welcome Xiao Rong.

Seeing Xiao Rong, Feng Huo stopped, hurried over, invited Ann, stepped forward to help Xiao Rong into the palace, "Queen Mother, if you have something to tell your son, then go there, if you are tired, come here again. "

Xiao Rong took the queen's hand and said with a smile, "I have good news, so I want to discuss it with you." Just as he was about to continue, he saw Chen Moxue at the side, and quickly silenced, and said to Mo Xue with a smile, "Mo Xue!" Girl Xue is also here, why don't you go to the Changle Palace of Ai's house to see Ai's house, you know that you are here to pester your sister, and you always despise Ai's age, "

Chen Moxue pouted, "No way, the empress dowager is not old, you will always be a young and beautiful empress dowager in Mo Xue's heart"

Xiao Rong was dizzy from Chen Moxue's flattery, and it was really helpful, he joked, "You are the only one with a sweet mouth"

Chen Moxue saw that Xiao Rong was in a very good mood at this time, rolled her eyes, and said to Xiao Rong with a smile, "Queen Mother, when Sister Yu was still in the palace in the past, we had so much fun. Look at how Sister Yu is now No, I don’t know who to play with, when will you let Sister Yu come back?”

Xiao Rong didn't expect Chen Moxue to mention Lin Daiyu suddenly, he was startled, and said in a serious voice, "The Ai family has ordered her to stay in Jia's mansion, don't mention it anymore, if you feel bored, you can go to see her." The other princesses are playing."

When Chen Moxue was about to say something, the queen stopped and said, "Don't make the queen angry, you have been here for a long time today, go back and be with your mother quickly, don't always play jokes outside all day long."

Chen Moxue held back her mouth, and said aggrievedly, "My little brother doesn't know what to do these days, and he doesn't play with me. Mother makes me a female celebrity every day, and I don't like these things at all."

Seeing Chen Moxue's aggrieved look, Xiao Rong smiled and taught, "It's good for a daughter's family to have her own opinions, but don't get away with it. Your mother is doing it for your own good, so don't make her angry."

When Chen Moxue heard that these two big men were driving her away, she felt unhappy. These two people really didn't respect her. They had no choice but to find a chance to intercede for Sister Yu next time. Said, "Okay, then I'll go back first, and I'll see you and sister later." After saluting, he retreated outside the door.

After Chen Moxue walked out, Xiao Rong excitedly pulled the Queen and said, "Queen, you are really good at teaching people. Yu'er has been learning from you these days, and she can take care of people. Yesterday, she sold several tricksters." Slave, now those slaves are afraid of her."

The queen was also quite surprised, "The minister also taught some things on weekdays, but she didn't pay attention to it before. She didn't expect that after these things, she would still use it. It's a good thing. She married someone in the future and became the mistress. , and don’t worry about not being able to control the servants.”

"That's the truth, she can gradually understand, and Aijia is also relieved." Xiao Rong was really happy at this time. He always thought that the reason why Lin Daiyu had such a tragic fate was that it was too real, but too real. Weak, truly expressing her dislike, the weak don't know how to resist, and in the end she lost everyone's love, and even made people dare to make irresponsible remarks in person. Now she is slowly becoming stronger, You can rest assured in the future.

Seeing Xiao Rong's expression, the Queen suddenly understood that the Queen Mother's love for Lin Daiyu was not ordinary, but her sincere love as a close relative. She would not blame Lin Daiyu for a momentary dislike or a mistake, because there is no A person would do such a 'long-term plan' for someone who has nothing to do with him, so well-intentioned.What's more, the person in front of me is the most honorable woman in this dynasty, the Empress Dowager!
