The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

Just as Shulan expected, Mother Jia is a cautious person who likes to immerse herself in the glory of the past, and the seizure of the heirloom has touched her a lot. Apart from being envious of the Niu family, she also has a deep feeling for the ransacking of the house. With a clear understanding, he naturally agreed with Shulan's idea.

Just as Shulan imagined, he accompanied Jia Min to Jinling, which was his home.There are four big stewards in Rongguo Mansion, one is the chief steward, one is in charge of the warehouse and bank, one is in charge of the field affairs, and the other is in charge of the granary and comprador houses.Now Lin Zhixiao's father is the chief housekeeper. Although there is a housekeeper who is in charge of farm affairs, he is the first to find out that Jia Min is pregnant, and he is Jia's mother's confidant. few.

She threw herself into her arms to repay Li, and Shulan came up with another good idea for Jia Mu, that is, to invite two nuns from the palace to send to Jia Min. rest assured.No matter how unhappy Lin Ruhai is to marry a nanny as a dowry these days, he can only pinch his nose to recognize Jia Mu's love for daughters.And for Lin Ruhai, he was also looking forward to the birth of his son-in-law, and he was not as dissatisfied as others imagined.

By doing this, Shulan naturally wanted to keep the child in Jia Min's womb, just because of the tricks that Lin's nanny would make, in the eyes of the nanny who was born in the palace, it was simply a child's play, and it happened that she could save some trouble along the way .

With an impartial attitude, Shulan also suggested an idea to the eldest and second bedroom.

It was Lin Zhixiao who conveyed Dafang's idea, and asked Jia She to invite a former staff member of the Zhang family to be his military adviser. There was no way, Shu Lan really had no confidence in Jia She, and now her family was leaving the capital again. Shulan was really afraid that Jia She would die if he didn't get angry.

The idea of ​​the second room is what Shulan said to Mrs. Wang herself, so that Mrs. Wang can't stand against me, so she must hold her breath. In addition, she should be humble in front of Jiamu, and win Jiamu's sympathy. In the future, when we split up, we will earn a lot of money.

Then... Then naturally, he packed up his things and followed Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to Jinling.

Originally, if Shulan's family went to Jinling by herself, she would have to rent a boat to do it, but because she followed Lin Ruhai, she squeezed into the official ship, because this time what Jia Mu and Chief Manager Lin discussed was to attack those people in Jinling who were caught off guard. , so I didn't bring a few people with me, and it's no problem to squeeze together with the servants of the Lin family.

Shulan's family boarded the boat first, and they lived in Lin Ruhai's butler's residence. After Jia Min boarded the boat and settled down, Shulan brought her things to visit Jia Min.

"Greetings to my aunt, congratulations to my aunt, I was so anxious to come last time that I forgot to congratulate my aunt." As he spoke, he handed over the things he had prepared.

Jia Min opened it and saw that it was a descendant knot with bright colors. This descendant knot was very delicate, and it just suited Jia Min's current situation. Jia Min's eyes lit up, and he played with it for a long time. Then put it down and let people put it away, "You have a heart." Thinking that she was pregnant and that the two nuns sent by Jia's mother were all credited to Shulan, she asked someone to wrap a pair of red agate earrings and a gold jade inlaid earrings. Give the ring to Shulan.

Shulan refused again and again, not daring to ask for it, but after that, Jia Min asked someone to force it to her. Shulan looked at the purse hanging on her waist, and shook her head involuntarily. understand!

After inviting Jia Min, Shulan and Jia Min said a few more words and then returned to their room, watching the river flowing eastward, couldn't help but think of Li Bai's going to drink—well, this poem It's completely different from the current environment, but Shulan somehow remembered that it's not a good thing to be too active.

Hearing a voice behind her, Shulan turned her head to see that it was Lin Zhixiao, and quickly stepped forward to help him undress, "Why are you back so early, father?"

"My aunt is going to discuss government affairs with his staff. It's a great fortune to be able to spare some time to see us. How could he be so ungrateful. Father has gone back to his room to rest, and I have told Zhang Er to take good care of him." Lin Zhixiao replied while changing clothes with Shulan's help.

Shulan folded Lin Zhixiao's changed clothes and put them aside, "That's good, are you hungry? If you are hungry, I'll send someone to bring you some food." Although they are servants, they are the housekeepers of Rongguo Mansion. Even in Lin Ruhai's house, there are some thin noodles, and this trivial matter can be easily solved with a few copper coins.

"No need!" Lin Zhixiao shook his head, took off the jade crown on his head, loosened his hair, and laid it on the floor with a relaxed face.

Shulan brought him tea, snacks and fruits and put them on the small table on the roof, and asked, "Did you tell my aunt about our plan?"

"Say it!" Lin Zhixiao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "My aunt also agreed, it's just a little effort for him, but you are still so cautious."

Shulan pushed Lin Zhixiao, and said angrily: "What do you know, my aunt is no match for the Eldest Master and Second Master, but he has real skills, so if he licks his face in the future, it's better to deal with the matter now." I explained, at least I left a frank and frank impression on my aunt. You are also a servant, so why don't you know the tricks in it? Yes, a trip to the yamen is indispensable."

These servants of Jia's mansion dare to embezzle in the capital, not to mention Emperor Tiangao who is far away in Jinling. Both servants only embezzle a little money. Manager Lin and Lin Zhixiao will turn a blind eye, but If it's too much then don't blame them.

"By the way, what did the second wife tell you to order before you left?" Lin Zhixiao didn't want to talk about this topic with Shulan, but it was a moment of contempt for him and a moment of respect for Lin Ruhai, so he quickly changed the subject.

"You forgot, the second wife's concubine sister married to the Xue family in Jinling. In recent years, the mother-in-law has been walking around frequently. The concubine's house is also a family of millions of royal merchants. The etiquette of the daily exchanges is high-end. Taking this opportunity, the second wife asked me to go to Xue's house in Jinling, say hello to my aunt, and asked me to deliver a letter to my aunt." Shulan replied with a smile.

The concubine is Aunt Xue, regardless of the identities and relationships between Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue of others, anyway, in Shulan, Mrs. Wang is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. Aunt Xue is the concubine of the Wang family. There is a five-year age difference between the two. It's not good, but after they got married, they didn't know whether Mrs. Wang liked Aunt Xue's money or Aunt Xue wanted to take advantage of Mrs. Wang's influence. The relationship between the two got better.

After hearing this, Lin Zhixiao lost interest, and said casually, "When you arrive in Jinling, you can pick a time to go."
