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

This person is none other than Grandma Lai, Mother Jia's confidant.

Her grandson, Lai Shangrong, was two years older than Lin Shuyu, and like Lin Shuyu, he was released by his master as a free man as soon as he was born.In Lai's house, Lai Shangrong lived the life of a son-in-law. He was raised by girls, wives, and nurses like a phoenix since he was a child. He read and wrote, and walked the way of an official.

But Lai Shangrong is not good at studying, and he was hooked up by some people in the capital to play, and he has never even passed the government examination, but fortunately, Lai Shangrong is young now, and Jia Zhu will take the examination before falling ill, so he is not afraid to speak out others joke.

It's just that this person is not afraid of not working hard or having talent, but he is afraid of being compared.When I heard that Lin Shuyu was taken to the south of the Yangtze River to practice martial arts, Nanny Lai gloated and thought that Lin Shuyu would be worthless.

But who would have imagined that ten years later, things would be completely different. Later, when she remembered what Jiamu said before, she would let Lin Zhixiao's family out after Lin Shuyu had a future, and Mammy Lai was even more jealous.

There are advantages to letting out the power slaves of wealthy families, and there are also advantages to not letting them go.If the child strives to become a clean court official, it is a reason to release it, and he can also enjoy being an official wife.But if the child is not up to date and is still a playboy, then he would rather not be released.

Now the situation facing the Lai family is: the grandson does not live up to expectations.

If Lai Shangrong was the only one, Nanny Lai might not be so angry. After all, not to mention the servants of the Jia family, even the decent masters of the side branch of the Jia family would not be able to live up to expectations.

But Lin Shuyu was on the sidelines for comparison. It would be good if Lin Shuyu didn't have real skills, but he still has real skills. Other people don't know about Nanny Lai's evaluation.But when Shi Nai, the second master of the historian, came to Jia's mansion, Nanny Lai happened to be serving beside Jia's mother, and heard his evaluation of Lin Shuyu with her own ears.

If someone supports you, the future is boundless.

This made Nanny Lai very jealous, and now seeing Mother Jia and others treating Lin Shuyu so favorably, she became more and more jealous. Some forces also relied heavily on the Jia family, so they were not afraid of their secret tricks.

Although she likes Lin Shuyu, Jia's mother didn't leave a meal, she just asked Mrs. Zhang to give Shulan a half-day vacation, knowing that she was worried these days.

Shulan happily led Lin Shuyu and a bunch of other things to leave, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang chatted and laughed with Jia Mu for a while before leaving too.

Zhou Rui's family followed Mrs. Wang, seeing that Mrs. Wang was in a good mood, so she smiled and said, "Madam is too kind to brother Lin, the silver-gilt crown inlaid with pearls is specially made by my wife for my uncle." Nanny Lai looked at it with envy, and Zhou Rui's family also looked at it with envy.

Although she is Mrs. Wang's confidant, she can usually get some jewelry, cloth and other rewards, but those are the things that Mrs. Wang does not dislike. It is not something that the masters deliberately asked people to take pictures of.

Zhou Rui's family had the honor to see that filigree silver and gold crown inlaid with pearls once. Its appearance was snow-colored, inlaid with dozens of pearls, large and small, especially the pearl in the middle was as big as a thumb's nail shell. Look at it. extraordinary.

"What's so good about that thing? It makes people look bad." The smile on Mrs. Wang's face cooled down when she heard the words. It was different from Zhou Rui's family who was just calculating the value of this thing. Mrs. Wang thought that The crown is all white, and it looks like a funeral. It just so happens that Jia Zhu is not in good health, so Mrs. Wang really hates this filigree silver and gold crown inlaid with pearls.

Mrs. Wang is a bit greedy for money, but she doesn't pay much attention to the value of the crown. No one dares to deny Mrs. Wang's maternal love for her child. It is conceivable to find a chance to sweep that unlucky thing out of the house.

Zhou Rui's family panicked and scolded themselves for being an idiot because of self-interest. Knowing that Mrs. Wang was nervous, Jia Zhu hated all pure white and black things recently. At this moment, she also said that this conversation is not because she is rushing to scold her, what is it?

He hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "What my wife said is, I mean, Lin Zhixiao's family has taken advantage of it again. Over the years, even if she is married, she has taken a lot of benefits from my wife. Obviously when we They all used to serve the wife, but they just watched her child's life in a hurry, the child is sensible, filial and self-motivated, and the old lady values ​​it, and now I feel a little lucky."

"Fortunately?" Mrs. Wang wondered, shouldn't she be jealous of what she just said?

Zhou Rui's family laughed and said: "Fortunately, my wife didn't betroth her to Zhou Rui in advance, otherwise she is so smart and capable, how can I have my share with my wife now!"

"You!" Mrs. Wang shook her head with a smile, "You are my roommate, and my feelings are no better than others." As for why you treat Shulan better, I can't say the real reason. dispute.

"If you are greedy for her, how about I decide to let your kid out?" Mrs. Wang asked, if Zhou Rui's family is willing, she doesn't mind showing kindness.

Zhou Rui's family was terrified when they heard the words, she shouldn't have eaten lard today and touched her heart to provoke this remark, Zhou Rui's son was one year older than Lin Shuyu, and missed a good opportunity to become Jia Zhu and Jia Baoyu's book boy, At this moment, Zhou Rui is taking him by his side, hoping to inherit his position as housekeeper.

Although not as high-minded as Lai Shangrong, but definitely not as promising as Lin Shuyu. When Wang Ziteng sent news to Mrs. Wang, Zhou Rui’s family heard it from the side. Wang Ziteng is very interested in Lin Shuyu and hopes to take him as a wing, no matter how jealous It has to be said that her son is not as capable as Lin Shuyu, and as long as there are no accidents in the future, he will definitely not be as promising as Lin Shuyu.

Therefore, the expectation of Zhou Rui's family for their son is to inherit Zhou Rui's position as housekeeper in the future, and they will not force anything else. I have to say that although Zhou Rui's family is a little short-sighted, they still have self-knowledge.

Now I heard Mrs. Wang say that she wants to release her son, how can this be possible, so she made a hundred bends in her heart, "Madam, don't scare me, the boy in my family is not as good as Lin Zhixiao's brother." He is ambitious, and besides, he has been able to serve the master since he was a child, and he will only serve the master in the future." The more important thing is that Zhou Rui's family is reluctant to bear the good position of the second housekeeper.

Sitting in the seat of housekeeper in Jia's mansion, it is too easy to fish for things, even if you don't deliberately fish, there are people below who are filial to you on weekdays.Especially those like Zhou Rui's family, Zhou Rui's family is someone who can talk to Mrs. Wang, many people want to go through Mrs. Wang's route through her, and that's a lot of money.

This was a tactful refusal, but Mrs. Wang was not annoyed. In the past few years, the Jia family has only bought people, and there is no such thing as selling people. Not to mention Zhou Rui's wife, who is a confidant, is the one who bought it from outside. The servant girl, when she grows up, she would rather stay in the mansion and be a steward's wife than marry out.

Look at Xiren in the future is a good example. Her mother and brother raised enough money to redeem her, but she cried and refused to come out.

This has become the norm in Jia's mansion. It has been like this since Jia's mother was a daughter-in-law. People from outside don't want to go out when they come in.Therefore, Jia's family has more and more children, not to mention the fact that Rongning and Ningfu in the capital raised a lot of idlers, and the mansion on the other side of Jinling has eight families guarding the house.

Who made Jia's family so beautiful and generous to their servants, if such a good family doesn't follow, it must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Nanny Lai was not the only one who thought that Shulan's head was kicked by a donkey and was ready to see a joke. There are many people in this house who are eager for Shulan's position.It's a pity that more than ten years later, their wishful thinking will no longer work. Their children are promising, and you have to continue to be envious.

Shulan joyfully led Lin Shuyu back, and took his hand and questioned him as soon as he entered the door, fearing that he would suffer at Hou's house for a few days.

Lin Shuyu smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I eat and live with Uncle Hou in Xiuguo Mansion, no one treats me lightly."

"That's good." Seeing that her son was improving and unscathed, Shulan's heart that had been beating so fast returned to its original place.

"Master Hou also prepared a gift for me to bring back to my mother." Lin Shuyu pointed to the things on the table, which ones were for Master Lin, which ones were for Lin Zhixiao, and which ones were for Shulan and Lin Hongyu .

Shulan took a look, there was nothing particularly valuable, as Jia Mu said, the only valuable thing was the precious sword, the scabbard was resplendent and inlaid with precious stones, it looked very valuable.It's just that this thing can only fool laymen. I didn't see that Lin Shuyu just put him in a box instead of hanging it on his waist.

Such a sword is only used as an ornament, and one must not want to live with such a sword in battle.It's another matter if the blade is not sharp, but the scabbard will definitely attract countless people to snatch it, whether it becomes a target or something.

"Master Hou has a heart." Shulan looked at the thing specially designed for two or three-year-old girls to play with, and knew that the return gift from the young master of the Hou family was not perfunctory, but was prepared after earnestly inquiring about the Lin family. It seemed that he valued his son very much.

"He has a heart." Lin Shuyu said something unclear.

"Hmm..." Shulan looked at Lin Shuyu suspiciously, seeing that the expression on his face hadn't changed, he was still the same sunny and handsome, so she thought she was thinking too much.

While the two were talking, Master Lin, who had been staying in the room all this time, came out. He was also very happy to see his eldest grandson come back, but he still reprimanded him with a straight face, so that he would not try to show off in the future. Life demands.

Sure enough, little people are greedy for life and afraid of death, the first thing that comes to mind is not any benefit, but their own life.

Lin Shuyu complied obediently, and said a few pleasant words to make Master Lin smile. As for whether to listen to Master Lin in the future, that is up to him.The generals are not allowed to accept military orders abroad, anyway, it is impossible for Mr. Lin to stand by his side and stare at him every day, so let's talk about coaxing the old man first.

The little loli Lin Hongyu also came to join in the fun, hugging Lin Shuyu's thigh and calling her brother tenderly, Lin Shuyu's heart melted.
