Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

It is said that since Lin Ruhai's wet nurse, Mother Li, got Ruhai's order, she brought a few capable subordinates, and the group hurried on their way, traveling day and night, and entered Beijing much earlier than Lin Miao, who was in charge of purchasing.

Li's mother did not leak anything, so she first sent her servant to Rongguo Mansion to report, and lied that Lin Ruhai had not seen Daiyu's family letter for a long time, and she was also in poor health. It will arrive in two days.

On this side, Mother Li found an inn to settle down since she went to the city, and then changed into gorgeous clothes, covered with a thick layer of powder, and walked across the market to Ningrong Street.

Besides, there are people coming and going on Ningrong Street, but no one dares to go to the gate of Rongguo Mansion.Seeing that they had nothing to do, the gatekeepers of the Rongguo Mansion gathered in twos and threes to knock their teeth.

Mother Li walked over with Lin Wang, the old steward, and a thick servant girl. "Excuse me, please ask." Mother Li laughed before saying anything, and behind her, Lin Wang stepped forward and stuffed a full weight of silver into the hands of the servants one by one.

Money touches people's hearts, and the young servants of the Rongguo Mansion, who were originally eye-catching, saw Mama Li's colorful and embroidered clothes, and they dared not look down on her even more, and they all came forward to greet her.

"This mother, if you have something to say, please speak up. Whatever we know, we must speak up."

Mother Li slowly continued: "Our master is an official sent to the outside world, and now he is going back to Beijing to work. He is thinking about buying a decent house and getting some capable servants. I see that there are some places in the streets behind your mansion." The mansion is idle. And the owner of this house is also surnamed Lin, who happened to be of the same family as my master. I dared to see that the house is very good, but I can’t find the owner. I heard that the owner of the house is related to your family, so I searched for it. Explore, explore."

The leading servant hurriedly said, "You really came to the right place. The house originally belonged to Linhou's mansion, and it was the old house of my aunt. My uncle is now promoted to inspect salt censor, and he has been staying in Gusu for many years. , the old house in the capital is idle, only a few old servants are responsible for cleaning and taking care of it, and no one lives in it. However, nearly [-]% of his house is not for sale now, you may consider it in two or three years."

"How do you say that?" Mother Li asked in surprise.Before the boy could open his mouth, he waved his hand to signal Lin Wang to hand over another ingot of silver.

Sure enough, the young man replied happily: "To tell you the truth, the girl from Lin's mansion is now living in our mansion. Our aunt passed away a few years ago, and this is the only one left in the big Lin's mansion." Girl." The young man said, lowering his voice, leaning closer to Li's mother's ear and adding: "And we heard that the old censor in the south is not in good health, I'm afraid he's going to—"

The boy didn't dare to finish the rest of the words, but the meaning was very obvious.Li's mother listened, and couldn't help but her eyelids twitched with anger - this is a good servant brought up by the Rongguo Mansion, who talked about the master directly in front of outsiders, and dared to make noise about the master's life soon!What's more, the inside and outside meaning of the words is that the Lin family is an extinct family, and when Master Lin is gone, the house will belong to their Jia family.At that time, it is up to them to decide whether to sell or not.

Lin Wang was a person who could hide his thoughts, but when he heard this, his face turned pale with shock, and he looked at the thick servant girl, each other secretly startled.

After all, Mama Li had been through a lot, she gritted her teeth to hold back her anger, and bowed slightly to the boy, "Thank you for letting me know, since this is the case, we have no fate with that Lin house. But the servants still need to buy, and nothing is bothering you." The second master. Your family is a big family, and most of the servants are born in the family. But after all, you are familiar with the situation in Beijing, please guide a mother in charge of the family, I still have a big thank you."

The leading boy took the money, and ordered a boy who was eleven or twelve years old to lead Mama Li to the back alley where the servants of Jia's house lived.

But he never went to look for Lin Zhixiao's family.

It turned out that the leading boy who had been answering just now and this kid were both relatives of Zhou Rui's family, and having such a good business of making money, they would naturally benefit their own family.

Mother Li inquired and found out that the person she wanted to meet was Mrs. Wang's accompanying room, Zhou Rui's family. She thought about whether she should avoid it and let the thick servant girl go to see her.After thinking about it, just watching the gatekeeper casually talk about Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai's situation, her girl's life in the mansion must be very difficult.

The master is destined, and the situation is not right, so he immediately took the girl back.To catch thieves and get dirty, since it will tear your face if you don’t keep it clean, simply tell them clearly that we know their dirty thoughts, and let Mrs. Wang and others be cautious. Don’t stop them too much, and it’s also to protect your wife’s face.

Coincidentally, Zhou Rui's family is serving in front of Sister Feng at the moment, so there is no time.Mother Li left a thick servant girl waiting at Zhou Rui's house, and said that she would take Lin Wang to Tianxiangju to set up a private seat and wait for Zhou Rui's arrival.Regardless of whether things are successful or not, it is only for forming a good relationship with the Rongguo Mansion.

After Zhou Rui's family finished their work ahead, when they came home, they saw their daughter-in-law was having wine and tea with a strange maid, chatting happily.

Zhou Rui's family coughed lightly.The strange maid hurriedly got up and came to say hello, taking advantage of the opportunity, she handed over a piece of silver.Then the daughter-in-law of Zhou Rui's family explained from the side, Zhou Rui's family immediately understood that this was a small official from out of town, and he was just here to find a way out, so he assumed the attitude of being in charge of the Duke's mansion.

Hearing that there is another mother in charge and housekeeper who opened a private seat in Tianxiangju, one of the best restaurants in the capital, to welcome her, the corners of his mouth turned up, and Tete changed into a fancy dress, leading a group of confidantes and women to slaughter big households coming.

Let's say that Zhou Rui's family took people upstairs, and saw a woman in her fifties with a smile on her face and an extraordinary demeanor at the top of the stairs. .

Unexpectedly, the man came up to greet her warmly, took her hand, and saluted her first, "Sister came so fast! My sister is also from the capital, but she is not like her. Even after living abroad for a long time, I just came back. The scenery of the capital, my sister looks very different."

Zhou Rui's family was invited to take the chief seat, but she, who was always eloquent, could not speak.

"It's just that Tianxiangju is really a good place. The high-quality noodles have not changed in the past ten years. You should try this drunk duck first. The duck meat is delicious and delicate, and the taste is full of wine. "Mother Li didn't say anything else, she just served dishes and persuaded customers.

The stout servants are better at teasing, and they are not taboo about meat and vegetables, but they are not too much. After a few jokes, the people at the table are laughing to and fro, as if they are very familiar with each other.

Zhou Rui's family saw that the people he had brought were feasting, laughed and laughed, and let go of the last bit of guard in their hearts.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.With the big signboard of the Ningrong Second Mansion behind them, it is reasonable for the new officials to start currying favor with their subordinates.

Here, Mother Li and Zhou Rui's family waited for a group of women in charge and servants in the inner courtyard to drink.On the other side, Lin Wang led people to pick up the family members of Jia's mansion, the coachman and others to make clichés.Three ounces of ecstasy soup and a little bit of yellow and white stuff were added, and the people in Jia's mansion revealed everything they should say and what should not be said.

"I heard that there are quite a few girls in the mansion, all of them are proficient in all kinds of beautiful looks, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I'm not afraid of making fun of you if you say it. The brothers in our mansion are also the best!" Very drunk, Li's mother joked pretending to be too drunk.

Zhou Rui's family boasted that they had sharp eyes, cast a sidelong glance at Li's mother, and said with a smile, "The girls in our family are naturally good."

"I just don't know how old the girls in your mansion are, but have you promised them?" Li's mother asked.This is originally a private matter of each government, and non-official matchmakers or close relatives of family acquaintances are not allowed to inquire about it.

But Zhou Rui's family relied on her being Mrs. Wang's accompanying room, and they never paid attention to the girls in the family.Yingchun and Tanchun are concubines, and Xichun is the master of Dongfu's mother who is dead, father doesn't love, brother and sister-in-law don't want to see.As for Lin Daiyu, hehe, with Mrs. Wang supporting her, what can she not say?

Zhou Rui's family raised their necks and drank the wine in the glass, knocking on their chopsticks and counting the good and bad of the girls in Jia's house.

Why is the second girl so stupid, the third girl is too domineering, the fourth girl is cold-hearted, and Lin girl is petty and difficult to serve... All kinds of arrangements of words and sentences, words catch up with words, like broken string beads popping out.The only thing is, he only praised Xue Baochai without mentioning it.

When Li's mother heard this, she clenched the cup tightly, and her face was as dark as the bottom of the pot.

But the drunken eyes of Zhou Rui's family couldn't see clearly, and he said with a shameless smile: "Sister, you don't know, although Miss Lin looks good, but she is very stingy even though she is the daughter of an official family. She is not as generous as a servant under my sister. If it weren't for the kindness of our old lady, who valued this granddaughter, tsk tsk..."

Mother Li's heart was burning to Tianling Gai, she gritted her teeth and sneered: "Hehe, hehe."

However, there are still those women who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and Hu Lala said that Miss Lin is weak, she sheds tears in the wind, and she is not suitable for a man, which made everyone laugh.

"Crack!" There was a loud noise, and broken porcelain flew around.

Everyone who was laughing stopped their chopsticks and looked at each other.

It turned out that Li's mother couldn't bear it and dropped the wine glass.

The thick servant girl looked at Mama Li with trepidation, for fear that she would turn her face at this moment.After all, when Lin Daiyu was at home, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min loved her very much, holding her in their hands for fear of falling, and holding her in their mouth for fear of melting.Who would have thought that in the capital city, he would be humiliated like this!Mother Li also watched Daiyu grow up, how could she bear it?

Li's mother's face was livid, but she also knew that this was not the time to attack, so she put her hand on her forehead to cover it up, and said with a smile: "Oh, I can't do it anymore, I actually drank too much and dropped the wine glass, disturbing everyone's interest!"

The stout maid hurriedly called Xiao Er to change the cups again.Everyone in Jia's mansion was used to making arrangements for their masters, and they didn't think there was anything wrong, they fought and drank again, and they became lively, and their interest didn't decrease at all.

Two days later, Li's mother arrived at the pier early with her people.Everyone in the Lin residence wore plain clothes and no accessories, at first glance they were not as respectable as the third-class servants in the Jia residence.

Mama Li and the others pretended to have just arrived, and waited for two hours before they were taken into the mansion by the servants of Jia's mansion who arrived belatedly.

When entering the corner gate, the boy who opened the door was the half-child who led Mama Li and Lin Wang to the back alley to find Zhou Rui's house that day.He did have a bit of eyesight, staring at the plain and even shabby Mama Li with good eyesight, and always felt that this person seemed familiar.

Li's mother didn't change her face, she sneered in her heart, just waiting for the expression that Zhou Rui's family should make when they saw her!

The author has something to say: In the next chapter, the nurse slaps Mrs. Wang in the face domineeringly!
