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

"Say, what did you do again?" Lin Zhixiao who heard the news hurried home and asked, pointing at Shulan's nose.

Shulan shook her head, "Is there anything wrong?"

Frowning, it is impossible to say that Jia's mother deliberately teased her. Jia's mother is not the old ancestor who doesn't care about everything in the original book. Even if the big family and the second room are separated, there are still many things in the Jia family. It needs her to take care of it, and it's too...

"Think about it carefully, if there is nothing wrong. How could the old lady be like this, she is clearly beating you." Lin Zhixiao said, rubbing his brows.

If there is no reason for the servants to kneel for a period of time inexplicably, rumors of abuse will definitely spread. Although many people have heard this kind of trivial matter and just smiled, but... There are always a few gossips, and when the time comes The old lady's reputation is ruined.Therefore, Lin Zhixiao is more inclined to take this opportunity for the old lady to beat Shulan.

beat! ?

Shulan was stunned, she didn't think of this at all, she murmured to herself: "Why did the old lady hit me?" She didn't do anything, why did Mother Jia beat her for no reason?

Lin Zhixiao knocked on the kang table and frowned, "Think about it for yourself, maybe someone overheard what you said and stabbed it to the old lady." There are many people in the Jia family who are gossips and are ready to step on others. .

talk! ?

She didn't say anything to others outside. She had read the original book and could memorize it word for word, but she still knew the basic situation.Xue Baochai fluttered the butterfly, and heard Xiaohong's inner thoughts as soon as she fluttered. In order not to expose the plot of her slandering against Sister Lin, she remembered clearly, so how dare she talk nonsense outside.

Shulan frowned, she thought she behaved well and cautiously in Jia's house, did Mother Jia want her to be unruly?That's why you want to beat her, and want her to make trouble in the big room?

It doesn't make sense!

"Could it be that you and the second room walked in, and the old lady was dissatisfied?" Lin Zhixiao interrupted suddenly.

Shulan was startled, turned her head to look at him, and wondered: "How do you say that?" Does Lin Zhixiao know anything?

Lin Zhixiao glanced at her with a half-smile, and then said with a smile, "Do you know the real reason why I married you?"

"I don't know!" Shulan shook her head.Could it be that it wasn't what she thought before, that the Lin family was looking for a new home.

"The old lady ordered it." Lin Zhixiao spit out the correct answer.

Shulan was taken aback when she heard the words, her eyes widened half a bit, "What!"

"At that time, the eldest lady looked half-dead, and the old lady thought that the eldest lady could not hold on, and the Zhang family was like that..." Lin Zhixiao said quietly: "If the eldest wife really can't hold on, then even It is definitely impossible to marry someone with too high a status to marry the eldest master, after all, there is still the second master Lian.

In this way, the Jia Mansion must be the old lady's own housekeeper, but the old lady is getting older, and she has handed over the housekeeping rights before, so it would be inappropriate to take it back.Da Fang's step-wife is not of high status and cannot be on the stage, so the power of the butler of Jia's mansion must fall to the second wife. "

Then, everything becomes clear.

It's not that the Lin family is looking for a new home in advance, but that Jia's mother is placing the nails in advance.

Shulan opened her mouth, and found that she couldn't refute it, because what Lin Zhixiao said was exactly the same as the original book, Jia She's stepwife, Mrs. Xing, was not on the stage, and Mrs. Wang was the head of the Jia family. Later, Wang Xifeng married Jia Lian Well, this mansion is run by Wang Xifeng, but everyone knows that Wang Xifeng is in charge, it's better to say that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are all in charge, Wang Xifeng can't do big things at all.

Shulan was startled suddenly, her hands were a little cold, and she said to Lin Zhixiao in a trembling voice: "When Zhou Rui's family came to me before, they said that the second wife was going to give away some money for profit, so I told her, and then I paid the second wife An idea, let her use the money to go to the Xue family to invest in shares, the money is safe and easy, maybe it is because of this that the old lady..."

Lin Zhixiao looked at Shulan with cannibalistic eyes, and said with a bit of resentment: "You are the eyeliner of the old lady, so how can you not know what the old lady is thinking? How dare you make such a show for the second lady?" My idea, you think your life is not long enough!"

"How do you know I'm the old lady's eyeliner!" Shulan was surprised when she heard this, she didn't bother with Lin Zhixiao's tone, but was a little surprised how he knew that the original owner was Jia Mu who placed a nail beside Mrs. Wang.

Lin Zhixiao smiled, but sneered, "If you weren't the old lady's thorn in the side, she wouldn't let you marry me. My mother was the old lady's thorn in the past, but she was disobedient, so the old lady let him go." I came in to separate her, but I'm afraid the old lady doesn't know how strong a woman's jealousy is, and my mother was killed by that man."

"This..." Shulan was completely shocked, she never expected to hear such explosive news, the truth that everything was connected made her unbelievable.

Lin Zhixiao drank a glass of water, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "The old lady is the daughter of the Shi family. After her sister married to Dongfu, the Jia family and the Shi family had no idea of ​​getting closer. , but who knew that the old lady fell in love with the Duke at first sight.

Later, she used some tricks to marry the Duke, but this also dissatisfied Mrs. Tai, because Mrs. Tai showed the Duke the daughter of a scholarly family.Therefore, after the old lady entered the mansion, Mrs. Tai made things difficult. My grandfather and grandmother were actually Mrs. Tai's accompanying room. In order to win us over, the old lady married her confidant girl to my father.

I thought I could get some secret news from the Lin family, but I didn't expect that my mother really fell in love with my father, and no news was passed on to her, so she was annoyed, and wanted to use someone else's hand to teach her mother a lesson, otherwise that person back then How could he have the guts to poison my mother and me. "

"You actually know the truth, so why did you marry me?" Shulan didn't understand Lin Zhixiao's thoughts.

Lin Zhixiao laughed so captivatingly, "Do you think I hate the old lady?"

Shulan nodded without hesitation. Although Mother Jia did not do this directly, it can be regarded as indirect. The culprit is finished, so it is only natural to hate the accomplice.

Lin Zhixiao shook his head, "The old lady never thought that things would turn out like this, so she has always felt guilty towards the Lin family. In addition, her father completely trusted her after that, and the guilt was even deeper. After what happened, the old lady actually helped us cover it up, because she thought it was a trace of guilt before."

It would be a lie to say that you don't hate, but Jiamu is the master and they are servants, so how dare you hate them, not to mention that Jiamu treated them very well in the days to come.The matter has developed into such a certainty, and Mother Jia let them deal with the murderer, and took care of them everywhere, I really can't hate it!

"Now the old lady is playing this trick again, but what she didn't expect is that things are not carried out according to her ideas. First of all, the second wife seems to know that you are the old lady's nail." Seeing that Shulan was about to refute, Lin Zhixiao immediately said it first "The second wife asked you to take care of her account book, but other than these? Other big and small things are done by other people. It seems that accounting is important, but in fact there is a lot of knowledge in it." It would be great if it were so easy to make a note.

Shulan stopped talking. She had a memory of the original owner's stay with Mrs. Wang, but the memory can only be used as a reference and cannot draw any conclusions.

"The old lady asked you to marry me, and I'm the master's bookboy. In the future, no matter whether the first wife or the second wife gets power, she will be able to have an eyeliner." At this point Shulan nodded, she thought so too, but Shulan still has doubts, "What does this have to do with me giving advice to the second wife and angering the old lady, she wants to hit me?" She still didn't understand.

Lin Zhixiao knocked on Shulan's head, "Usually I see you are full of thoughts, why can't you turn the corner now?" If Shulan hadn't shown his hand in front of him and Master Lin before, Lin Zhixiao would have felt that Shulan is an idiot, she understands what he said so well, but she doesn't understand.

"Because of Mrs. Tai's affairs, the old lady puts a lot of emphasis on the power of housekeeping. Later, the eldest wife married in again. The eldest wife's family background is richer than the old lady's. The Duke asked the old lady to hand over the housekeeping power to the eldest lady. Originally, it had not been a few years since the housekeeper had fallen into the hands of the old lady, but now she was going to hand it over again, how could the old lady be willing, but the old lady had no choice but to follow the words of the Duke.

Even though the first house and the second house are separated now, they live together after all. Although the servants of the two houses are separated, after all they used to belong to the old lady..."

"She still wants to continue to control the eldest wife and the second wife?" Shulan was startled. In her previous life, someone blackmailed Jia's mother, that is to say, she deliberately provoked a dispute between the eldest wife and the second wife and favored the second wife because of her superior status.Is all this true?

Lin Zhixiao shook his head, "The old lady doesn't have that kind of thought. She just wants to flatter her as before. Everything is up to her. Whatever she says, the second wife should do what she wants?" To put it bluntly, Mother Jia Just care about your own status.

Think about the point that has been ignored by everyone. Although women in Jia's mansion are stronger than men, no one dares to mess around in front of their own men.However, the two loudest men in Jia's mansion, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, are both foolish and loyal to Jia's mother.When Jia Amnesty was bullied, he only knew how to whisper to himself and vent his anger on his concubine, shutting himself in his yard and not daring to face Jia Mu.And Jia Zheng was told by Jia's mother, and only he knelt down to apologize and repent.

Is this the general trend of society, or... Mother Jia deliberately taught the two brothers to be like this?

"what do you mean……"

"The eldest wife is a person who was taught by the scholarly family. The housekeeper has been in charge for so many years, and the old lady is quite satisfied with her. She knows that she abides by etiquette and dare not disobey her. But the second wife? Now the two rooms have separated, the second wife There is nothing to beg for the old lady."

Shulan's eyes lit up, "So the old lady planned to start with the second wife's money-loving temper, and planned to use her own private room to hang the second wife, so that the second wife would not dare to be obedient to her. But I came up with such an idea for the second wife, It obviously ruined the old lady's plan." That's why Mother Jia beat her.

"That's right!" Lin Zhixiao looked at her with the expression that you finally turned the corner, and said with a smile: "Just wait and see, if the second wife has a child, the old lady will definitely take it and raise it, otherwise How did she show her financial power?"

Shulan glanced at Lin Zhixiao, as if meeting this person for the first time, he guessed everything so accurately, Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu in the original book were both raised by Jia's mother.
