Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 427 People's hearts are unpredictable, Lin Tao gave birth to a daughter (2)
Although Ji Chonglian paid another part of the money when Sister-in-law Lin asked to take down the shop next door, but now Sister-in-law Lin counts two shops, and the annual bonus given to her is already 2000 taels, which is not much, but it is absolutely not. few.

When they lived in Liangcheng, it was inconvenient to reconcile the accounts. It was only when Bi Yuan and Lin Lou came to attend Lin Tao's wedding that they brought the account books. Did not take the initiative to send the account book over.

After Ji Chonglian returned to Shangjing, Sister-in-law Lin came to see her, but she never said anything about it, which made her feel that there might be something wrong with it.

Caiqiu was a little surprised, but she didn't want to express her opinion on this matter. She was Lin Tao's mother-in-law, or Bi Yuan's mother-in-law. Who knew how much the friendship between master and servant was in Ji Chonglian's heart. So it's better to say less.

Ji Chonglian suddenly turned her head to look at Caiqiu, raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you still remember what clothes and hairpin Sister-in-law Lin wore when we came back to Shangjing?"

Caiqiu was stunned, not knowing what Ji Chonglian's intention was, but she still tried her best to think about it, and then said slowly: "It seems to be a half-worn long jacket with long sleeves, the color of chestnut and emerald flowers. The edge of the hair was opened to reveal a trace of cotton thread inside... Wearing a round bun, there is only a silver hairpin with a little oil on it, and the silver hairpin is still a little black."

Sister-in-law Lin's dress that day was extremely simple. Although Cai Qiu couldn't be called a photographic memory, she still left a deep impression on her. Thinking about it now, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, as if Sister-in-law Lin's dress was intentional. The servants who work in the mansion don't lose their prices like this, let alone she manages two shops!
Caiqiu hit a sharp zero suddenly, came to her senses suddenly, looked at Ji Chonglian with some trepidation, and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, you mean Mrs. Lin... is she deliberately pretending to be poor in front of you?"

Ji Chonglian snorted coldly, "If it wasn't for this, why would she come here wearing that kind of clothes again today, even the headgear hasn't changed, I'm afraid this clothes will be her fixed attire in our house from now on."

Caiqiu was silent, if Sister-in-law Lin really had such a scheming plan, I'm afraid the accounts on the two shops would be somewhat inaccurate, if not, why would she play tricks on it?
Ji Chonglian was silent, she had to think about this matter carefully, after Pei Yan left for business, the couple sat together to discuss.

After hearing what Ji Chonglian said, Pei Yan was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but said: "Why don't I send someone to investigate secretly, and I don't need to check their family's account, just look at their family's daily life."

"Okay, you check first and then talk."

Ji Chonglian nodded, "Silly girl Biyuan has always been careless, I'm afraid she didn't notice this, knowing that she used to be my confidant, I'm afraid Sister-in-law Lin will have to guard against her in the accounts."

"Then what are you going to do if this matter is really found to be strange?"

Pei Yan looked at Ji Chonglian intently, and reached out to tie a strand of black hair hanging down her cheek.

"What else can I do?"

Ji Chonglian spread her hands and sighed, "If this is the case, I will still let them go, but the shop will definitely be taken back. I don't care about their greed in the past, just treat it as a gift to Bi Yuan and her child."

"You silly girl!"

Pei Yan lovingly rubbed Ji Chonglian's forehead hair, pulled her to lean on his shoulder, and said softly: "If the Lin family can't use it, why don't I ask Manager Zhu to find some reliable shopkeepers? The pavement also needs people to take care of it.”

"Let's talk about it after we find out, what if there is something hidden!"

Ji Chonglian also wanted to leave some leeway for the Lin family. If she misunderstood it, it would cool the hearts of others. In fact, she really hoped that she had misunderstood. After so many years, she also wanted someone who was really not interested in profit. To move is to help her and respect her purely.

"Okay, it's all up to you!"

Pei Yan kissed Ji Chonglian's forehead, which was not a big deal in his opinion.

Ji Chonglian thought of something, and then sat up and looked at Pei Yan, "By the way, we're settled in Shangjing now, do you want to take her over from the mother-in-law's side?"

Pei Yan was startled, and then slowly shook his head after a while, "It's not urgent, you have just arrived, and our house is in a mess, and it won't be too late to sort it out."

Although this is what Ji Chonglian should do, she was still relieved when she heard Pei Yan's words. If she lived with Pei's mother, she might not be as comfortable as she is now.

"My sister also sent a letter, saying that she will come to Shangjing to visit us in the next year."

Why can't Pei Yan see Ji Chonglian's worry? In fact, even he himself doesn't know how to get along with Pei's mother. The relationship between mother and child has always been very weak.

"That's good, I haven't seen Le Ming and Le Qing for a long time, and I don't know what they have become now."

Ji Chonglian clapped her palms and smiled, her bright eyes and flushed face were so charming, Pei Yan couldn't help but hug her into her arms for a long time.

The two talked about Sister Shuang's learning to walk again, and Ji Chonglian said seriously: "It's because I used to be too used to her, this girl is stubborn, if the adults don't let her go, she won't do anything by herself, from now on, don't let her go." If you get used to her, if you raise her so coquettishly, even if you marry into someone else's house, it will be a disaster!"

"It's not as serious as you said!"

Pei Yan smiled and pinched Ji Chonglian's cheeks, "You teach me well, Sister Shuang will still be like you, knowledgeable, intelligent, smart and dexterous, which man doesn't love her by then? Maybe I'm still reluctant to marry her off !"

"You are a queen who sells melons, selling melons and boasting!"

Ji Chonglian smiled and shook her head, but she still told Pei Yan, "When I discipline Sister Shuang from now on, you can't help her even if you watch from the sidelines, otherwise she will know that she will depend on you from now on!"

"Okay, it's all up to you!"

Pei Yan smiled and nodded, "Others say that a loving mother is a loser, but now that she has been taught by a strict mother like you, our Shuang'er is not sure what will happen in the future!"

"loquacious!"

Ji Chonglian smiled and nestled in Pei Yan's arms, and the two couples were naturally affectionate again.

Fall asleep at night without dreams.

Lin Tao's child was born in the middle of the night, and it went relatively smoothly, but when the child croaked to the ground, Mrs. Liang saw that it was a girl, and her enthusiasm faded by half. Mother-in-law, it's time to rest.

Sister-in-law Lin and Bi Yuan have been taking care of Lin Tao. At this moment, she has fainted from exhaustion, and she didn't even pay attention to the child.

Sister-in-law Lin held the baby in her swaddling clothes, glanced at the direction where Sister-in-law Liang was leaving with a sneer, and said, "What's wrong with the girl, you are not a girl, your mother is not a girl, even your daughter is also a girl." , how can there be a man without a woman, look at her insight, no wonder she can only be a first-class servant in the mansion, not even the mother in charge!"

Bi Yuan persuaded from the side: "Mother, please don't say a few words, after all, this is still in the Liang family. You have said that Tao Zi will not be good in the future."

Sister Lin snorted coldly, then hugged the child and said nothing.

Bi Yuan secretly sighed.

The news of Lin Tao giving birth to a baby girl reached Ji Chonglian's room. It was already the next morning. She had eaten breakfast and asked Caiqiu to pack a red ruler, a pair of silver bracelets and a silver collar to go to the Liang Dynasty. The family congratulated, but he didn't go there again.

Seeing Caiqiu bringing things, but not seeing Ji Chonglian herself, Sister-in-law Liang and Sister-in-law Lin were very disappointed, Biyuan didn't feel anything, chatted with Caiqiu for a while, and then went away again.

Sister-in-law Liang stabbed Sister-in-law Lin at that time, "Didn't you say that Taozi has a lot of face in front of Madam? I don't think so. It's also because she gave birth to a girl. Madam doesn't want to suffer from such bad luck. If it is a boy, it will be very different." gone."

Sister-in-law Lin is naturally not easy to bully, she immediately retorted, "Our Taozi is only a little old, and now we are the daughter-in-law in charge of the madam's garden. You are a mother-in-law and a first-class servant. I feel ashamed for you!"

The two women started a verbal battle on the porch outside the house. You come and go, and you won't give in to each other!
Lin Tao in the room was woken up by the sound, and couldn't help but look at Biyuan with a bitter face, "Sister-in-law, go and persuade them, how embarrassing it is for others to listen to you by arguing like this!"

One is her mother-in-law and the other is her mother-in-law. Lin Tao is not helping either side. She never thought that she would die to give birth to a child. When she woke up and encountered such a thing, she immediately felt a little upset, even more angry It was Liang You who didn't stay by her bed. After thinking about it, her grievance came to her heart, and she choked up and said, "Sister-in-law, give me the child. I gave birth to it anyway. The Liang family doesn't like it. Then It’s also a piece of meat that fell from me.”

"Don't listen to their nonsense, madam is not that kind of person, you can see how much she loves Sister Shuang. Hello, daughter. My daughter is my mother's caring little padded jacket. That's what madam told me!"

After saying that, Bi Yuan handed the child to Lin Tao, and comforted him, "Don't think too much, I'll find my brother-in-law to come over to accompany you right now, and he's cooking brown sugar eggs for you in the kitchen right now."

Hearing Biyuan's words, Lin Tao's mood suddenly eased a lot. Although she was unwilling to give birth to a daughter, as long as her husband stood by her side, the future would be long, and she would always give birth to a son. Nagging and making things difficult for her.

Of course, Ji Chonglian didn't know what happened in the Liang family. She just asked Caiqiu to pass on a message to Lin Tao, telling Lin Tao to take a good rest and don't worry about the affairs of the house. Not too late.

With Ji Chonglian's promise, Lin Tao's wavering heart at this moment finally settled down. Fortunately, as her mother-in-law said, Madam still values ​​her in her heart.
