[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

Lin Yu wanted to run outside after putting on his shoes, but was caught by Bai Shu and put on several layers of coat before letting him out.After such a delay, the excitement at the beginning passed, and he returned to his original moody look, and steadily stepped on the bluestone steps to the outer study.

Outside the study door, Old Butler Lin and Zhang Zhong were already waiting with their hands tied.Seeing Lin Yu approaching from afar, Old Butler Lin picked up the key on his waist and opened the door of the outer study.

Lin Yu liked the openness the most in his life. When he entered the house, he didn't care about anything else, the most important thing was to open the windows.Holding a small jade lion for support, he turned around and asked, "Is there any movement over there?"

Not to mention that Lin Yu's mind was densely listing his plans and directions like a spider web, but it was said that in Jinling, the old woman who was in the middle of the year did not see her eldest son go home for the New Year.At first, she just thought it was some secret door where she had eaten too much and got drunk, but seeing the Chinese New Year, she looked left and right and saw no one, so she panicked.

What's more, she did the bad thing three years ago in a flash of obsession, and now she asked someone to inquire everywhere, but Da'er still couldn't be seen.After thinking about it like this, the Wen Po couldn't sit still immediately.

She knows the current situation herself, and she dare not say that someone is watching her actions, whether it is worse than before, and someone has to ask how many steps she has walked.This Wen Po, surnamed Bai, felt a little fierce in her heart, so she tidied up a little bit, taking advantage of the midnight vigil at every house, no one had the heart to look at her, so she took Luyin and quietly ran along the path towards Gusu.

In this era when most people just shake their heads when they leave their hometown, she not only relies on her anger, but also finds a way to sneak into the boat of a rich family, become a fire-burning woman, and follow them smoothly. He quickly returned to Gusu.If Uncle Zhang hadn't sent someone to keep an eye on her, I'm afraid she would have been confused too.

Lin Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "He's a talent." Zhang Zhong lowered his head unconsciously when he saw his innocent smile.Looking at his toes, he suddenly remembered the picture of the naughty boy playing with ants he saw outside two days ago, and then he realized that the look in the eyes of the old man of the Lin family when he talked about those enemies was no different from that of those naughty boys.That's why he was able to make fun of Mrs. Wen, who directly caused his mother's death in childbirth, without caring, and praised her as a hero for his son.

In his eyes, these people are like ants to urchins, they can be crushed to death at will.

"The Bai family is still working in that family, do you know which family it is?" After laughing, Lin Yu asked old housekeeper Lin.

"It's a pity that cleverness was misunderstood by cleverness." Old housekeeper Lin said with a mocking look on his face, "It's just a coincidence for that family, it was Mrs. Zhang's natal family who sent people to pay New Year's greetings, and now every move is full of people. Look, she doesn't know it yet!"

"Old lady's natal family?" Lin Yu was young and had little experience in this world, so he had to ask more questions.

It turns out that this old lady is the daughter of the famous Li family in Jinling. The Li family is truly a scholarly family, and there are all men and women in the family who do not read books. Compared with the Lin family today, it is more decent.The old lady was originally a girl from the direct line of the Li family. How she married the Zhang family, a rich merchant's family that still smells like money, has another story, which I will not list for the time being.In any case, as long as this decent old aunt is still alive, the Li clan over there will not be able to break the ceremony.

However, in the past two years, the Li family has changed a patriarch, and things are much different.Lin Yu was familiar with the patriarch of the Li clan. He was Li Shouzhong, the father of Li Wan, the Twelve Beauties of Jinling.

In Lin Yu's heart, this person is the one who has read the book to death. Originally, the Li family was good, and both men and women read books.But he acts differently, saying that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and he only teaches people to know a few words, read "Four Books of Women" and "Biography of Women", and remember a few virtuous women from the previous dynasty.

It was also after he succeeded the head of the Li family that his communication with Mrs. Zhang faded away.Mrs. Zhang was originally a shrewd person, she became more transparent as she got older, how could she not know such a situation.Fortunately, the old lady was open-minded by nature and didn't bother to argue with the ignorant junior, otherwise she would die of anger.Even so, the old lady didn't mention her natal family much in the past two years, so Lin Yu didn't know about it.

"It turned out to be that family, but there are some twists and turns." After hearing this, Lin Yu told old butler Lin that Li Shouzhong's daughter married Jia Zhu, the second eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, and Uncle Hai's wife It was the charming girl from the Rongguo Mansion, and she laughed again, "It's useless to marry a girl into the Jia family. The position of the Guozijian's sacrificial wine is just gone."

At this time, although the Jia family was suspected of going downhill, after all, a lean camel was bigger than a horse.With Jia Zhu going to take the imperial examination, how could the Jia family not work hard for this position of sacrificial wine?From the Beijing official of the fourth rank, he is in charge of the Imperial College and the more important imperial examination with one hand, what an important official position.To put it bluntly, if it weren't for his position, Li Wan would still have entered Jia's family, which is far above the top.In this way, there are traces of Li Wan's situation later.

Regardless of how the officialdom is, it is also obvious from the matter of Mrs. Zhang that he is really a normal person.He has maintained the favor for most of his life, and it will be broken as soon as he says it.The old lady is now at this age, to put it bluntly, how many years can she be with her?Besides, this courtesy was not out of his pocket, but because of the word merchant, he was born far away from a family of good relatives, which shows that he is a fool who has read the book.

"Uncle Zhang sent someone to ask, what's your idea?" Old housekeeper Lin asked with a slight bow. Lin Yu asked him to sit down several times, but he didn't listen.

Originally, I wanted to let the Li family watch it, but now I'm afraid it won't work.After giving the gift, they still have to go back to Jinling.Lin Yu didn't want such things to bother Mrs. Zhang. It's pitiful enough for an old man to lose his daughter in his later years, so why bother stabbing her in the heart again.

Lin Yu curled up her index finger, knocked on the table and said, "That woman Wen is smart, but she's outnumbered by two fists, if she shows her face, she will kill my good second uncle's family. "He doesn't care about her life, but before he achieves his goal, even if she is just a knife to kill people, she can't be broken.When things are all over, she will have her end.

"Go and call Huangshi." He ordered. The one in the yard that he likes wine and meat has been raised for so long, so he must collect some interest first.

As Lin Yu said, the Bai family probably exhausted all their luck in this life, managed to sneak into the Li family's boat, and returned to Gusu safe and sound all the way.She used to do such dirty and tiring work as lighting a fire, so there was no room for a woman like her to walk around on the boat.That's why she didn't know until she arrived in Gusu that she had accidentally stumbled into the old lady's family's side of the Zhang family.

Bai Shi should have been afraid, but because of her eldest son, she was secretly happy at this moment, thinking about how to find out the whereabouts of his eldest son.According to her simple thinking, Lin Yu was so young, even if the Zhang family protected her from being tortured to death by the clan members, and she was unable to touch her son, it must be the Zhang family who did something.

She took out the reward for sitting down and sighed.Da'erhua has used the originally generous money in the past three years. She kept the ten five taels of silver bills in her own pocket, and no one dared to tell, so she saved them. Can't keep it.

Then I found the daughter-in-law in charge of the Li family, and begged tremblingly at first, only saying that I was old, thinking that even if I was buried, I would have to be buried next to my original husband in my hometown.Only then did he take out some five taels of silver, saying that he had saved most of his life, only to be pitiful, and to help a certain person here with the work of burning fires, moving houses, and pouring Yexiang.

The daughter-in-law in charge looked at her hard, and disliked her vulgarity, so she didn't want Wuliang even if she was very tempted, and turned her face away: "Is there any family that lacks such a woman?"

The Bai family just knelt down and begged, mouth full of pity, and wanted to kowtow again.The daughter-in-law in charge thought to herself, why bother to accept her gift to shorten her life, besides, the Zhang family had already confessed and gave benefits, so it was just a matter of embarrassment.Then he said: "This is Zhang's family, how can I be the master?" Seeing that she was about to kowtow again, she hurriedly stopped, pretending to point out her sincerity, "But there is a clear way, it just depends on your sincerity!" Teacher Zhang talked to her one by one, and then left without any concern.

Na Bai only thought that she had to give up five taels today, but she didn't expect that people despised her and saved it.Busily following what the daughter-in-law said, she entrusted her relationship to find someone, spent most of her money, and finally became a woman who sweeps the outer courtyard as she wished.

Maybe it was a difficult job, but the Bai family didn't think much about it, she just thought that she was praying to the gods and worshiping the Buddha every day. The gods and Buddhas finally heard her sincerity, and gave her good rewards, telling her to sneak into Zhang's house, Xu Save the eldest son who can save himself from the disaster.

In this way, while she was doing her work, she quietly inquired about Da'er's news.I just dare not go to Mrs. Zhang's and Mrs. Li's courtyards. The men outside can't enter the inner courtyard, and the women's family members inside are different.Mother Lin's own mother and sister-in-law who were direct relatives were all present when Mother Lin gave birth to Lin Yu.Although it is said that the old ladies and wives can't see the stable woman below, but Bai is extremely cautious and dare not bet on that.

How did she know that Uncle Zhang told his wife about the past, after all, the affairs of the inner courtyard cannot bypass the housekeeper's wife.Now, it is the careful Mrs. Li who makes people watch her every move and thinks that she is well hidden. She is calculating how to go around more places and ask more people every day.

Suddenly one day, the outer courtyard became busy, and she was driven into the courtyard while still holding the broom.She hurriedly smiled and asked, "Auntie, what's the matter with this blah blah blah?" Rubbing her hands in embarrassment, she said, "I haven't finished my work yet, I'm afraid the masters It is a sin to step on snow and lose your foot."

"You are careful." The daughter-in-law looked at her with a humble smile, and said, "Well, just watch from a distance, and wait for the young master's sedan chair to pass, and then it will not be too late to clean up." It seems to be gone.

Bai Shi was thinking on the spot, isn't the young master of the Zhang family the same as the young master of the Lin family that she delivered?
