The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

After Prince Yong Situ Qing left, Lin Ruhai's face became gloomy at that time, and he asked someone to find the big housekeeper of Lin's mansion, and then he just stared at the old man who was over fifty years old without saying a word.

Lin Ruhai looked at the butler as a bit baffled, completely puzzled, and after a while, he tentatively asked, "Master, I don't know why you called the young one here?"

"Lin Bo, you are also an old man by father's side, so I won't go around with you anymore. I just want to know, has anything happened at home recently? How is Niuniu doing recently?"

"This..." The butler was silent for a while after hearing this, and then slowly said after a while, "Master, you are also the head of the family now, and my wife is also the head of the house. It's a matter of course for the hostess, but the madam is also too sad during this time, and the family affairs are all taken care of by the elder mother around her!

Of course, the new official took office three fires, and the eldest mother wanted to appoint the cronies of the wife as a dowry, which was already reasonable...

It's just that, due to the large-scale change of managers in various places, the rules in the mansion have indeed become a little loose during this period. The small ones mainly manage the outer courtyard, but it is not easy to intervene in the affairs of the female family members in the inner courtyard!

These new stewards have just taken office, so it is inevitable that they have not considered thoroughly in some places and neglected the young lady.After all, the purchase of the big kitchen was originally done by my youngest son, who is also the husband-in-law of the young lady's nanny. If the young lady wants to eat something, it is naturally more convenient to buy something..."

Although the big housekeeper didn't make it clear, he was as smart as Lin Ruhai, so how could he not know the meaning revealed in his words.

"Lin Bo, tell me the truth, how many housekeepers have been replaced?" Lin Ruhai looked at the big housekeeper with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"This..." Lin Bo hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "In this mansion, except for the small ones, there are basically no changes in the stewards in the front yard. For example, in the back yard, almost all of them have been replaced. , especially those who are in charge of the big kitchen and other purchases, have all been replaced by the grandma as the wife's companion. Recently, the grandma seems to be planning to abolish and replace some Zhuangzi's Zhuangtou, some of the shops in our mansion Shopkeepers and the like...

It's just that the madam has to nod her head in person to do these things. The grandma has only let the wind out for a while, and it's hard to say when she will start to adjust it! "

"The eldest mother did all this alone? Madame...does she know?" Lin Ruhai, who was originally very angry, calmed down suddenly at this moment.

"This..." The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then said pertinently: "Madam has been seeing a doctor and taking medicine recently to treat the palace cold syndrome. According to the doctor, Madam must calm down and recuperate. It’s best to do less. It’s a small guess, Madam may not be very clear about these things. After all, when Madam was in charge of the house, everything was done with courtesy and restraint. There had never been such a large-scale change of steward! The exchange is absolutely moist and silent, and will not affect the normal operation of the home."

"Is this really the case?" Lin Ruhai murmured lightly to himself, but only he knew what was in his mind.

After dismissing the big housekeeper, Lin Ruhai fell into deep thought. It was not until the next morning that he seemed to have figured out something, and asked the boy around him to carefully investigate what happened at home recently. matter.

The servant next to him has an unusual background. Although he was not born in the same family, he was indeed sold into the Lin family since he was a child. The name was given to him by Lin Ruhai, called Lin Xiaofeng.

As long as Lin Ruhai can remember, he has been with him, almost eating and living together. When Lin Ruhai reads and reads, he is always accompanied by him grinding the books, and he also learns from the subordinates of the Marquis of Tai'an A good kung fu, Wen Tao Wu Lue is not bad in everything, but he is very low-key and doesn't talk much on weekdays.However, few people know that he is actually Lin Ruhai's right-hand man, and he is also the main person in charge of the Lin family's intelligence source.

However, it turned out that he was mainly responsible for the collection and arrangement of some outside intelligence, such as what happened in the court, or the movements of some officials who had an interest relationship with Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai never let him use these methods at home, just on his family members.

However, after this sudden change and Situ Qing's special reminder, Lin Ruhai had to face some things that he had never thought about before.At this moment, Lin Ruhai's heart felt stuffy, and all the ups and downs rushed into his heart for a while, and he couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was.

Thinking of the scenery when he was nominated on the gold list back then, when he crossed the street on horseback, amidst the jealous envy of many people, Shili Hongzhuang married Jia Min, and the surprise when he lifted his hijab on the wedding night, Lin Ruhai's heart at this moment was as if the river was overwhelmed.

Since getting married, Lin Ruhai has seen everything that Jia Min has done for him, for Lin Tian, ​​and for the Lin family, and he likes this wife very much in his heart. It is De, like Mrs. Wang, the second room of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, who is the standard lady of this era.

Like Jia Min, who is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is even more familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs. If it is not for being a woman who cannot participate in the scientific examination, I am afraid that he is half a point better than him.Although this is not the standard of the times, it is the type that Lin Ruhai likes very much.

What he likes is such a woman who is full of poetic and literary spirit. After all, two people live together, what they need is not only the physical creation of human beings, but also the spiritual resonance.

Like Jia Min, she can not only take care of the trivial things at home, so that he doesn't have any worries, but also can talk about literature with her, recite poems, add fragrance to the red sleeves, and when you are happy, you can have a bosom friend playing a piano and flute ensemble , this is the most suitable wife candidate in his mind.

And what Jia Min has always done is perfect, even better than he imagined, so he was able to devote himself to the court after he became a father, and it took less than three years. Not only did he succeed He made friends with Prince Yong Situqing, and left a very good impression in the emperor's heart.

When there was no turmoil in the court, the emperor was even willing to win him back, which would have been almost impossible without Jia Min's support behind him.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai, who had completely calmed down, returned to a normal level of IQ again, and the previous anger turned into rational thinking.

Although he didn't know exactly what Jia Min did when he took care of the housework before, he still knew the general idea. Such a reckless thing without rules and regulations obviously couldn't be done by her.

Even if Jia Min wants to do the same thing, he will never make such a big noise, it will only be accomplished by moistening things slowly and silently, no matter how he does it, Lin Tian will run away desperately To the point where he came to make a fuss.

You know, when Lin Tian was not born, Jia Min had already married into the Lin family, and Lin's mother didn't have the energy to take good care of this little daughter because of her health after giving birth to Lin Tian. Jia Min's eldest sister-in-law is the mother and takes care of her personally, but how could she watch the little child she has been hurting in her heart be wronged by such an older child!

'What the hell is going on here? Lin Ruhai's frown became tighter and tighter. On the one hand, it was the messy affairs at home, and on the other hand, it was the news that Situ Qing was about to recover. As witty as he was, he felt a little powerless at the moment.

After all, if he didn't take advantage of this time to quickly deal with the troublesome things at home, he would be even busier after his comeback, and he would completely ignore all of this.

"Min'er, you shouldn't have asked someone to do this, right? Although I don't know why you delegated power to the eldest mother so abruptly, why didn't you tell me when you encountered difficulties? Could it be that I can't Do you trust it with all your heart?"

Lin Ruhai muttered to himself, and unconsciously pressed his right hand on his heart, and the bursts of colic pain almost made him burn inside.

Lin Ruhai waited for Lin Xiaofeng's investigation report in this kind of restlessness and anxiety.Although there are no deeper things in it because of the tight schedule, on the surface, except for his study and the three-acre land in the front yard, the rest of the things in the Lin family's mansion are all in the old mother's house. Mammy is in control.

Even, even the eldest mother of the Lin family began to put people in all the properties of the Lin family.Looking at the items written in the report, Lin Ruhai's eyes were instantly bloodshot. After reading all of them, Lin Ruhai was confused for a moment.

'Could it be that these were really ordered by Min'er?Could it be that I have never seen her clearly? 'Lin Ruhai's heart was completely confused at this moment.

Lin Xiaofeng at the side saw Lin Ruhai like this, and hurriedly interjected: "Master, these are just the changes in the personnel in our mansion during this period of time. However, all the orders are given by the elder mother, not the madam. , the servant feels that there may be a shadow of the Jia family in it..."

"What?" Lin Ruhai widened his eyes when he heard the words, and said, "The shadow of Jia's family, what is going on, tell me quickly!"

"Master, after a few days of investigation by the servant, it was found that many of the dowries of the wives who were replaced were not on the list of dowry personnel in the first place, and they were sent by the Jia family recently! Moreover, this For a few days, people from Jia's family came and went to our mansion very frequently, and the eldest mother has also been to Jia's mansion several times...

And Madam has been busy treating illnesses these days, so I'm afraid she hasn't paid attention to these matters at all. The slave thinks that the master should have a careful talk with Madam, maybe there will be some discoveries! "

"I know! Go down!" Lin Ruhai nodded and said lightly.
