Chapter 047 Backyard
After dinner, Ji Xiaojuan, picking the moon and picking lotus are the tea they like for their respective masters. Lin Zimo's tea, Longjing brewed by dew; Yang Mengqi's tea, Dongting Biluochun brewed by rain; Chu Hanlu's tea, Anxi Tieguanyin brewed in mountain spring water. The three of them tasted the tea after dinner, and then Yang Mengqi, the wife, told the results of Caixing.
Hearing the three big maids who wanted to leave Lin's house with her grandfather, they said in unison, "Madam, justice."
"Colorful moon, I'll leave the specific matters to you." Yang Mengqi fully believed that his maid had this processing ability and said, "You go to the account room to pay 100 taels of silver first, which can be regarded as the settlement fee for their grandfather and grandchildren, and then I will hand over the deed of sale of the two of life to you and send them to them. Even if she does something wrong, our Lin family will not treat her badly.
Yingnui Caiyue turned around and left to do what his master told him. Lin Zimo, who didn't want to come in anymore, got up and went to the study to hide quietly. It is said that it is difficult for officials to cut off housework, not to mention that they are still a corrupt official? He knows that the so-called Mingjun Holy Lord of all dynasties is the same as he is one of the two big deal with housework.
Lin Zimo's heart knows better than anyone that Caixing has been treated extremely unfairly, but he can only do this. Although I can make a tough statement and arbitrarily suppress this storm, family affairs are different from business affairs, and naturally we should respect the general opinions and tendencies of family members. He could see that Yang Mengqi made compensation in the face of picking stars economically. After all, 100 taels of silver can buy 20 mu of good land, which is enough for their grandparents and grandchildren to have no worries about food and clothing and no longer have to live a life.
There hasn't been a time to stay in the study. Caiyue has put two deeds of sale and a hundred taels of silver in front of Caixing and her grandfather, and told his wife about her decision to deal with them, asking them to leave Lin's house by the morning, otherwise they would not be so polite to them. Before she left, she completely ignored the sisterhood of the sunset, and did not forget to scold Cai Xing again for saying 'lowly blank'. The old man, who felt extremely humiliated, stretched out his hand and slapped his granddaughter loudly, scolded her for being 'shameless' and insisted on breaking off the relationship with her.
The aggrieved Cai Xing ran out of the door with tears in his eyes and found Yang Mengqi, who was still sitting in the dining room chatting with Chu Hanlu. With a plop, she cried so much that she knelt down on her knees, kowtowed and begged the old lady to take back her life. She asked herself, absolutely not to seduce the master, but just admitted that she had girlish feelings for her master.
"Go away, I hate to see you." Chu Hanlu, with an unhappy face, didn't want to pick stars to continue to stay here, but insisted on daring to walk her.
The rational Yang Mengqi had long known that her father-in-law was a complete girl killer, otherwise the big and small maids under her hand would not compete for the demands to serve and serve him. Lin Zimo, his man, is not only a talented person and famous, but also lives in the position of the governor of Xunzhou with his ability and talent. Yang Mengqi firmly believes that he and Chu Hanlu have a good life, otherwise they would not have had the opportunity to accompany him. If she hadn't had a marriage contract with Lin Zimo, I'm afraid that her wife's position would have belonged to a talented and beautiful woman from a famous family like Han Caiyi.
As a daughter, Yang Mengqi can understand the idea of Cai Xing's desire to cling to Gao Zhi very well. After all, women in the world are looking forward to marrying a man like his own father-in-law. Although I am in the Ming Dynasty, I think of the future. In the future society that she doesn't know, according to the most popular words in the 21st century, Lin Zimo should be completely classified as rich and handsome. To be precise, it is more appropriate for him to add a noble word to the three words 'rich and handsome'.
At this moment, Yang Mengqi, who will not change his mind, not only fights for Chu Hanlu, but also can't open this mouth. If she is soft-hearted for a moment, I'm afraid the maids under her will learn the same thing. His father-in-law is not Liu Xiahui, so he can't sit still. Yang Mengqi is really not afraid of Lin Zimo's concubine, but worried about the uneasiness and facts of the little girls below. It's really troublesome if everyone has a speculative psychology. She vaguely felt this bad sign, so she had to cut it off so that the maids below could be at ease and not have fluke psychology and unrealistic fantasies.
"Wing up!" Yang Mengqi, who has made up his mind and can no longer change, said kindly, "After leaving Lin's house, you still live well with your grandfather. Some things still depend on God's will, and they can't be changed artificially. Even if you are really wronged, it is a person's life. Colorful moon, pick lotus, take her down. The second lady and I have other things to talk about.
The Caiyue and Cailian, standing next to her, walked to the left and right of the picking stars respectively. Regardless of her willingness or not, they forcibly pulled her up. The bitterness of picking stars is really impossible to tell, and she already knows that she can't change all this, so she has to cry sadly. I really don't understand why God will be so unfair to her?
I don't want to see the annoying Caiyue of the master, and said with a strong threat in her tone, "Madam has been benevolent to you, and if you don't know how to advance or retreat, don't blame us for doing it to you. Even if you are killed, I believe no one will complain to you. Even if your immortal grandfather eats the courage of a bear heart and leopard, it's just a step late to go to hell to accompany you.
As an honest man, Cailian said pitifully and hatefully when he saw Caixing, "You'd better not bother the two ladies here."
The star picking, who was still crying, still had to be forcibly pulled out of the door by the lotus picking and the colorful moon. She didn't want to give up, but chose to kneel outside the door and look forward to the miracle at that moment. Caiyue, standing outside the door, was very dissatisfied with her self-harmful means to force her master to change his mind. If it hadn't been for Cailian Xinci standing next to the colorful moon and stopping it in time, I'm afraid that Caixing's pink face would have left a lot of handprints long ago. Caiyue, who didn't hit her, still called four little maids and pulled her away.
Yang Mengqi, sitting in the room, took Chu Hanlu's hands and smiled, "Don't be too anxious about your father-in-law's affairs. Don't be petty. My sister is so cute that she can spend a good time with our partner sooner or later. You have to believe that there are no cats that don't like fish in the world, so you still need to be a little patient.
The careless Chu Hanlu is not mentally retarded, let alone brain-damaged. She basically understood what she meant and asked, "How long will it be sooner or later?" Is it possible that I have to wait until 70 or 80? Even if I have that patience, I don't know if I have that long life.
Yang Mengqi smiled and scraped her little nose and said, "Little girl, you are only 14 years old this year. Are you afraid you don't have a chance?"
Chu Hanlu, who touched his nose, is inconvenient to talk about it. After all, his words have reached a level of considerable shame. Seeing that it was not early, Yang Mengqi urged her to go back to her room to rest earlier. She, who sent Chu girl away, did not let others follow, but went alone to find Lin Zimo. Although the matter of picking stars is small, husband and wife still need to communicate to relieve their grudges and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and estrangement.
Lin Zimo, sitting in the study, closed his eyes and gently rubbed his temples with the thumbs of his hands. Yang Mengqi, who opened the door, noticed that there was only one candle in the room. Although it was not bright, he could still see his handsome face clearly. Standing at the door for half a minute, she walked slowly towards him.
Lin Zimo, who heard the familiar footsteps, did not open his eyes and knew that it was Yang Mengqi and said, "Why are you here?"
Yang Mengqi, who was only one step away from his father-in-law, stood behind him and rubbed his temples for himself, without mentioning the matter of picking stars and said, "The slave family knows that his father-in-law has to do both family affairs and business, and he works very hard."
Lin Zimo, with his back on the chair, enjoyed her massage and smiled helplessly, "Who let me be the head of the family?"
"I can see that that girl is sincere and really doesn't want you." Yang Mengqi, with regular and rhythmic hands, said very strongly, "Does your father secretly reward her with some more money?"
Lin Zimo, who opened his eyes, stretched out his left hand and gently patted her left hand on the back and said, "You have arranged it well. If you give her some more money, I'm afraid it will make her feel that your old lady's handling is not fair enough. Speaking of this, I hurt her. However, this is the end of the matter, so it has to be done.
Yang Mengqi, who came to him, did not agree with his father-in-law's statement and said, "Your father-in-law, it's not wrong, but it's wrong to break into this inadvertently. On that day, if it hadn't been for the two maids, picking the moon and picking lotus, I'm afraid things would not have developed as far as it is now. The mouth of the jar is easy to seal, but the mouth of a person is not easy to seal. The slave family can't let their father-in-law bear a lustful bad reputation, so they have to sacrifice her.
Lin Zimo pulled her into his arms and felt that she thought for herself in everything: "Madam, virtuous."
Yang Mengqi, who sat on her legs, put his hands around his neck and gently shook his head and said, "To be fair, the slave family has done this thing unkindly. However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Although I completely believe my father-in-law's words, Chu girl, Caiyue and Cailian won't think about it that. I'm afraid that few people are safe up and down in our back house. In their hearts, I'm afraid the thing they think about the most is how to earn performance and benefits in front of our masters. In addition, it is to bully others and the weak, eliminate dissidents, and retaliate..."
Lin Zimo, who put her arms around her waist, had long known that there was a "backyard for power and profit", and naturally his backyard could not be spared and exceptions, so she pecked her with a reward. Her thin lips said meaningfully, "Wang, I'm really suffering."
