Chapter 77 Arithmetic
The simple residence in the southeast corner of Linfu is the residence of a large house. Because Master Lin yearns for pastoral life in the countryside, there are no strange flowers and trees here. Some of them are just a few old apricot pears that have been growing strangely for some years. There are also grape shelves in the courtyard. Next to the grape shelf, Buckets are all available.
Zhou, the eldest wife of the Lin family, walked into the yard with a string of maids in the strong sunlight. When she saw the green apricots on the branches, she thought of her eldest grandson who had just been born. His original boredom suddenly relaxed: "It's still comfortable in your own room, and it's more than the outside. The head is much cooler.
Everyone smiled and said, "Isn't that right? It's hard for my wife to work so hard that she can't be idle on such a big day.
Zhou said lightly, "What can I do? The third wife just came back, and there were guests at home. The old lady told me to have a good life. How can I let people down? You have to do it yourself. The most important thing is to be prevented from being caught by the dead old woman and the shameless Luo Shi.
"It's hard to be the wife." Everyone gathered around Zhou and entered the room. They handed handkerchiefs, served tea, and beat fans. They were busy. Zhou waited for the thin sweat on his body to disappear. Then he waved his life and waited and asked the pomegranate beside him, "What?"
"Madam, the fourth girl chose these four kinds of clothing." The pomegranate quickly took out the four kinds of clothing materials and showed them to the Zhou family.
Zhou's eyes paused on the two jade lotus dark thin silk and Hunan thin Luo, and smiled gently: "She doesn't know?"
Before the words were clear, the pomegranate understood what she was asking, so he whispered, "I don't know what it is, but Litchi clearly asked the maidservant."
Zhou Shi squeezed his lips tightly and unconsciously brushed the golden honey wax rosary between his wrists. His eyes were heavy and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The pomegranate said carefully, "Madam, why don't you remind me of the lychee?"
Zhou smiled suddenly and said kindly, "No, let the sewing room do it well, don't cut corners, let alone carelessly. If you don't do well, don't want the monthly money, and you have to pay for the clothes.
Her attitude surprised the pomegranate slightly and gently answered yes.
"Mom, I heard that there will be a banquet in the evening, right? I want to eat steamed mackerel and shrimp paste!" Lin Wu ran in with a smile and went straight to Zhou's side to pull Zhou's sleeve and make a coquettish request. She has loved these two kinds since she was a child. However, the Lin family is not as expensive as before. Except for Mr. Lin and his wife and the Spring Festival, it is easy to be found on the dinner table.
Zhou Shi smiled and said lazily, "I ordered it earlier. When you think of it, the food is on the table. How can it be too late? When it comes to the benefits of being a family, the simplest thing is to satisfy the hobbies and tastes of your family at this time.
"I knew that my mother loved me the most." Lin Wu leaned coquettishly on Zhou's shoulder. At a glance, he saw the four pieces of clothes that the pomegranate was cleaning up. He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Oh, isn't this the material of my two skirts? Why are you still here?"
Pomegranate knew that she had always been stingy, so she couldn't say it clearly, so she just smiled and said no.
Lin Wu understood and rushed to the ground angrily and waved the four pieces of clothing to the ground: "Is it to make clothes for Lin Si? Why is she so shameless? She learns everything from others! Is there nothing else in the world except these two kinds of clothing?" Stop it!" Zhou suddenly slapped the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "You haven't suffered enough, have you? Do you still want to be slapped again and shut up for a few more days?
Lin Wu immediately turned red in his eyes: "Mom, you saw with your own eyes how she harmed me. She went to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot spring to be happy and win the name of virtuous filial piety, but I was imprisoned until my sister-in-law gave birth before I was released. It's so easy to make new clothes, and she came to me again! I don't follow it!" She shamelessly took the opportunity to seduce Lu Yan. She didn't dare to say this sentence.
Is it just that Lin Wu has been locked up for so long? Even Zhou's housekeeper's position has not been snatched back for a short time. Otherwise, how could the benefits of thousands of taels of silver be taken up by Roche? They are long houses, and those silver should have been more of theirs, but now they have become everyone's. Zhou gritted her teeth and scolded, "Nonsense! She is the eldest sister. It should have been her turn to be your sister first. Now you have been wearing it for a month before she did it. What do you think? Isn't she allowed to wear it?"
When Lin Wu heard Zhou's scolding, he was even less energetic and cried, "How dare I have any opinion? They brag so well. They are good at ordering tea. They are talented, famous, and filial. They are kind-hearted. Who doesn't praise her! I'm just unconvinced. Why is my grandmother so biased?
When Zhou heard her say that Mrs. Lin was biased, she agreed with her, but when she saw that she was still confused, she really felt angry, so she scolded in a low voice, "Don't you understand? This is not her credit alone, but that you fight with her, lose both sides, and give it to others the truth! Shengsheng dragged me down!"
After hearing this, Lin Wu stopped crying. He looked up at Zhou and said, "Mother, I also understand that it's not that simple. You taught me what to do. They are all Lin's girls. Why is my grandmother so partial?"
A girl's heart is a fragile heart. When she was grounded, Lin Liu and Lin Qi ran happily to the Lu family. Although Lu Yun treated her the same as before after she came out, it was also very good to treat Lin Liu and Lin Qi, and there was an indesicable familiar intimacy. Lin Liu and Qi often said something to Lu Yun that she didn't know, and she couldn't interrupt her. How could she stand it? The most serious blow came from that when Lu Yan was about to go to Taiming Mansion to resign for the exam. She shyly came forward to wish him success, but he just thanked her indifferently. Without looking at her, he turned around and left, so that her full words were suffocated in her stomach and there was no way to relieve her. It was The most abominable thing is that Lin Qi still came to laugh at her.
Zhou said lightly, "The days are still long. Remember, what happened last time was your fault. You embarrassed your fourth sister in public. When I see her later, remember to apologize to her, and then be as good as before. What are two sets of clothes? If she likes it, let her wear it enough!"
Lin Wu opened his eyes wide: "What's that going on?"
Zhou said seriously, "Just continue to be a good sister with her, respect your third aunt, and treat your seventh brother better." Lin Si first completely lost Lin Yuzhen's favor at the heater meeting, and then touched Lin Yuzhen's reverse scale on Zhuangzi. The daughter-in-law of the Lu family, seeing that Lin Si can't do it, isn't it just to help deal with the second room? Dow's little temper, hehe...
Lin Wu held his chin and thought for a long time. Fang nodded and said, "Okay, just like before, only she can deal with the sixth sister and the seventh sister." Thinking about that day, she went to provoke Lin Jinrong, and she suffered a dumb loss. The good situation turned upside down in an instant, and she took advantage of Lin Liu and Qi in vain.
Zhou Shi really smiled and said, "You have grown up." The three-room people are all Mrs. Lin's own. One plus one equals two, which is greater than the remaining one. One minus one is equal to zero, all less than the remaining one. She will do this arithmetic problem.
Before going out, Lin Jinrong was blocked in the room by the daughter-in-law of the sewing room to measure the size. The unprecedented enthusiasm of the daughter-in-law in the sewing room surprised her a little. It was not only the style, but also the belts and buttons of underwear, which were seriously proposed for discussion and research.
Litchi was even more surprised, and then he was unprecedentedly enthusiastic and helped with advice. Lin Jinrong was a little excited: "Whatever, you're used to it, and it's impossible to make clothes that can't be worn out."
A daughter-in-law smiled and said, "That's what I said, but the girl doesn't know. The eldest wife ordered it. If you are not satisfied with it, not only do you have no monthly money, but also have to pay for the clothes."
Lin Jinrong became a little interested: "Uncle, I'm joking with you."
Another daughter-in-law said, "Yes, the masters are not harsh people, but the little ones always try their best to satisfy the masters, right? In other words, the old lady is really kind to the girl.
Lin Jinrong satisfied her: "My aunt has always been kind and thoughtful."
Sending away the two measured daughters-in-law, Litchi said, "Girl, what does the eldest wife mean? It's so big."
"It's boring." It's just to show that he is virtuous and gentle and tolerant. Lin Jinrong looked at the closed room at the end of the corridor: "Let Mother Gui accompany me to the dinner party, and you take them to clean up the unpacked things. My uncle will ask someone to send money in. You are so optimistic that no one is allowed to touch it, including longan and beans. If others ask, do you know how to answer?
Lychee said cautiously, "I know."
Shaoqing, the neat Mother Gui came out. Although she tried her best to be full, it was not difficult to see her frustration and worry, and she didn't even dare to look at Lin Jinrong's eyes.
"It's easy for people to see something like this." Lin Jinrong calmly told Mother Gui about her plan: "I can only do this. I want to see herself in the future. You accompany me on this trip tonight, and no one will ask more when she goes to her wife's place in the future.
Mother Gui's tears came out in an instant, and she quickly put it back, trembling and said in a trembling voice, "Girl, your kindness..."
Lin Jinrong smiled indifferently: "If you don't say this, it's boring. All I know is that Mam is not that kind of person, and I can't bear to let you be sad. No matter how different the biological flesh and blood are, not everyone can do it for a day or twenty. Remember to cover her with a quilt and add clothes, and don't dislike her for not being angry and suffer. Seeing that the world is cold and warm enough, it is rare to cherish this.
Mssy Gui took a deep breath and smiled, "Yes, the old slave won't say it." Not to mention, she kept it in her heart.
