Chapter 38

Besides, Zhang Lanyue couldn't think of an idea to deal with Mrs. Su at the moment, so she had to think about it carefully to buy more time to think of a plan.

Mrs. Su didn't expect this matter to be settled today, so she stopped trying to persuade her, she just stood up and said with a smile: "Miss Zhang is right, it's a big deal to stay or stay, and it really should be carefully considered. Then I won't Excuse me, Ms. Zhang, it's time for a nap, so Ms. Zhang should take a nap too. When Ms. Zhang has made up her mind, just go to Meiyuan to find me, or send someone to tell me, and I will visit Ms. Zhang again .”

After finishing speaking, he called Cui'er again, told her to serve Zhang Lanyue carefully, and then helped Nanny Li go back to Meiyuan.

Walking in the garden, Mother Li saw that there was no one else except the two servant girls who were accompanying her, so she whispered in Mrs. Su's ear, "Ma'am, Miss Zhang is not like an ordinary girl from a small family. According to the mother-in-law, what she wants is probably more than what the wife gave, and this matter does not seem to be settled lightly."

Mrs. Su snorted coldly: "Do you think I don't know? I've noticed her little thoughtfulness a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have urged Yuxuan to accompany his daughter-in-law back to Wenning to visit relatives. Yuxuan is not here now At home, the master never asks about the affairs of the inner house, I want to see who else she can cry and beg."

Nanny Li sighed bitterly: "According to my mother-in-law, this girl is not too confused. If I let my mother-in-law choose, she will go back to Jianghe honestly. But after all, it is my hometown, so I know the people, customs, and customs, and I feel more at ease. Besides, my wife has arranged so well that I don't need to worry about food and clothing. Even if I get married in the future, my in-law's family will definitely be the same. There is a wife who prepares a generous dowry. No matter how you think about it, this is a very thorough arrangement, but Miss Zhang is so angry that she insists on picking up the branches that can't be climbed. What the old woman said is not pleasant, how can this high-ranking family Does it look so beautiful from the outside? My wife has been married for more than 20 years, and has she ever lived a peaceful and comfortable life? Later, when I moved to the capital, life became even more difficult, and my wife suffered a lot.”

Mrs. Su shook her head and smiled bitterly: "After so many years, you are the only one who really knows my heart. I hope that Miss Zhang will rein in the precipice and choose a wise way out, so as not to disappoint my pity for her. You will go later For the front and back doors, tell the boys who watch the door to keep the door tight for me these few days. Without me, Miss Zhang must not be let out. Before we enter the capital, she can only be in front of my eyes. Stay low, or else something will happen."

Nanny Li also knew that this matter was no small matter, it was of great need, so she hurriedly agreed and comforted Mrs. Su with a few words.

After returning to the main room of the Meiyuan, Mother Li and the maids did not dare to wait on him because Mr. Jin was resting in the inner room, so they had to send Mrs. Su into the inner room, then closed the doors of the Xinuang Pavilion and the main room, and went back to their respective rooms. Rested.

Besides, at the Bingyuan, Liu Linglan had reported to watch Jun Xueqi's joke, but she didn't expect that before Zhang Lanyue made any movement, Jun Xueqi had already been brought back to Wenning to visit relatives by Jin Yuxuan.

The two most important people are gone, so the jokes are naturally ignored, and Liu Linglan is so angry that she leans on the bed, cursing Jun Xueqi's life well.Zhang Lanyue was still doing well, Madam Su and Jin Yuxuan were afraid that Jun Xueqi would be wronged, so they protected her out early to hide in peace.

Biyue walked quickly into the inner room, saw that Liu Linglan was lying on the bed and was not asleep, so she whispered back: "Grandma, the woman who waited on Miss Zhang came over and said that she has something important to do. Report back to auntie."

When Liu Linglan heard this, she regained her spirits. She sat up to get a haircut and dress, and asked cautiously: "She came to our yard, didn't anyone see her?"

Bi Yue truthfully replied: "It's time for a nap, the masters of all courtyards are taking a nap, and most of the servants are hiding to rest. Because Grandpa and Grandma are not at home, Yue Ling and Shui Ling I went out to serve again, and there are only Xiangyu and Xiangxue in the main room. The slaves have just visited, and the two of them are in the main room, packing up grandma's things, presumably it's about to move. The girls in our yard , have already hid back to their respective rooms to sleep in. The servant also asked the woman just now, and she was not careful all the way here, no one was seen."

Liu Linglan nodded with satisfaction, and ordered: "Go and prepare some snacks and fruits, and take a 100 tael bank note, and let the woman take it back to Zhang Lanyue later. Even if someone asks, just say that I am grateful to her." The brothers saved my master's life, and specially asked the old woman to come over and bring some things to Zhang Lanyue to express my gratitude."

Bi Yue nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, grandma, this servant understands."

After saying that, she helped Liu Linglan out of the inner room, passed through the West Nuan Pavilion and the small hall, and entered the East Nuan Pavilion.Helping Liu Linglan to sit down on the kang couch, poured fragrant tea and served it, Fang exited the main room and sat on the porch to watch.

The woman was standing upright, but when she saw Liu Linglan coming in, she hurriedly stepped aside.After Liu Linglan sat down and Biyue withdrew, Fang knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Linglan, fawning: "Greetings to my aunt, I wish my aunt a long life and youth forever."

Liu Linglan saw that the old woman was so courteous, she was very pleased, she waved her hands and said: "Get up, let's sit and talk, there is no need to kneel and kowtow like this."

How could the woman dare to listen to Liu Linglan's order to sit down, she only responded in vain, and stood aside obediently, waiting for Liu Linglan to ask questions.

When Jun Xuewen was here, because of her poor health, since Liu Linglan married into the Jin Mansion, Jin Yuxuan stayed with her most of the time.Therefore, all the servants of the Jin Mansion said that Liu Linglan was favored, and they respected and fawned on her, which made her very popular for a while.Especially after Jin Yudi was born, Liu Linglan's limelight even surpassed Jun Xuewen's.It's a pity that this scenery comes and goes quickly, but in just two years, it can be said that it is a world of difference.

Since Jun Xueqi married into the family, Jin Yuxuan only slept in Liu Linglan's room for more than [-] days when Jin Yudi was ill, and slept in Jun Xueqi's house the rest of the time. in the room.Besides, Liu Linglan knew in her heart that the affection of the twenty-odd days was nothing more than compensation for the pain of losing her son because Jin Yuxuan wanted to give Jin Yudi to Jun Xueqi's upbringing. What about pets?
Even if Jin Yuxuan took Liu Linglan instead of Jun Xueqi when he went on a long trip, it couldn't hide the importance and love that Master Jin and Mrs. Su had for the new Third Mistress.After all, not long after Jun Xueqi got married, Mrs. Su sent her treasure, Jin Yuling, back to the Bing Academy, and handed over her eldest grandson, Jin Yudi, to Jun Xueqi's upbringing.

The servants of the Jin Mansion are not fools, even if there are a few who are stupid, they also know how to act according to the direction of the people around them.It is self-evident that Master Jin, Mrs. Su and Jin Yuxuan attached great importance to Jun Xueqi.All the servants naturally try to curry favor with Jun Xueqi, but who would pay attention to Liu Linglan who fell out of favor and lost her son?
Therefore, in the past half a year, Liu Linglan has tasted what it feels like to fall from the sky to the ground, and she often scolds the servants who follow the wind and watch people order dishes.Today, this old woman flattered her so much, and behaved well in front of her, which gave her enough reputation as a master. While she felt good about it, she also wanted to take good care of this old woman.After all, in this golden mansion now, except for the maids and maids around her, she has no one else to use.So it's always been her idea to win over people for her own use.

Liu Linglan assumed the master's posture, took two sips of tea slowly, then put down the teacup, and asked with a smile: "I heard from Biyue that you have something important to say, did something serious happen to Miss Zhang? "

Seeing that Liu Linglan had finally asked, the old lady hurriedly replied: "Return to my aunt's words, my wife brought Nanny Li over here today, and talked to Miss Zhang for a long time."

Liu Linglan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked anxiously, "Do you know what the wife said to Ms. Zhang? Did they quarrel? Did Ms. Zhang make the wife angry?"

The woman hurriedly learned what Mrs. Su said to Zhang Lanyue, and then said: "The wife is not angry. She finished talking and left. It's just that after the wife left, Miss Zhang lost her temper and turned the house away. The tea set and fruit dishes in the room were all dropped, so scared that Tweety and the maids didn't dare to go in to clean up."

Liu Linglan nodded to show that she understood, then she smiled and said to the old woman: "You take good care of Miss Zhang over there, if you have anything to do, you must come and report to me immediately. You just need to do things for me My son, if you are loyal and obedient enough, I will definitely not treat you badly."

As he spoke, he took two gold bracelets from his wrists and gave them to the woman.

That woman is just a rough envoy on weekdays, and she only has five hundred qian per month in silver. Fortunately, she can afford food, clothing and housing in the Jinfu, so she can live a decent life.It's just that she can only see the two red gold bracelets, but she has never touched them, let alone obtained anything.

Now that Liu Linglan gave it to her, she was naturally flattered, she quickly patted her chest, and assured her: "Please rest assured, my aunt, if my aunt has something to do, just tell my mother-in-law, she will definitely do her best, and never let my aunt down. "

Liu Linglan nodded in satisfaction, beckoned the old woman to come closer, and whispered some words in her ear, then called Biyue in and asked her to give the old woman fruit, snacks and 100 taels of bank notes, and then send The mother-in-law goes out.

After Biyue led the woman away, Liu Linglan walked out of the East Nuan Pavilion, went back to the bed in the inner room, and lay down again.Now she just waited for Zhang Lanyue to make a fuss so that Mrs. Su could force her into the capital.As long as Zhang Lanyue enters the capital and the days are long, Jun Xueqi will naturally be attractive.Thinking of this, she rolled over and fell asleep in a good mood.

From the next day, Mrs. Su began to take people with her. She was so busy with Zhang Luo's relocation that she didn't care about Zhang Lanyue for a while.From her point of view, everyone around Zhang Lanyue has already been arranged, even the boys at the door have been ordered.If there is anything, someone will naturally report to her, and she doesn't have to keep an eye on the movement over there.

Mr. Jin was busy all day with the arrangement of the Jin family's ancestral property in Yongning, and he had to socialize with officials and merchants, and asked them to take care of the Jin family's property and business in the future.After all, the second family moved to the capital city, and the ancestral property and ancestral property of the Jin family could only be taken care of by stewards and servants. At most, Jin Yuxuan would come back to review and audit the accounts once a year.

For five or six days in a row, although everyone in the Jin Mansion was extremely busy and didn't even have time to eat a meal or sleep peacefully, the atmosphere in the Mansion was still peaceful, peaceful and beautiful.

Just the dawn before the storm, always very short...
