Chapter 35
Not much charcoal?

However, there was not enough charcoal in the middle of the month, so it wasn't because it was embezzled by someone, what could be the reason!
The old lady's face was gloomy, and Lin Qingqian said in a timely manner: "Qingqian really thinks that the brazier is too hot, and the room will be stuffy, so she asks to put less charcoal in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Don't blame them, grandma?"

The old lady lowered her eyes, and touched Lin Qingqian's head in distress.

This silly boy, at this time, didn't want to sue her, but instead wanted to protect the two maids first, which shows that he is really kind-hearted.

"Okay, for the sake of simplicity, grandma just don't punish them."

Lin Qingqian's eyes lit up, and she showed a sweet smile, "Thank you grandma, grandma really loves Qingqian the most."

Chun Xia Qiu Dong hurriedly kowtowed, and said in unison: "Servant, thank you for your forgiveness."

Nanny Zhang said: "Get up, you need to serve Miss San with all your heart in the future."

"Yes, this servant will definitely serve Miss with all her heart."

Wait for spring, summer, autumn and winter to step aside.

The old lady ordered sharply: "Nurse Zhang, go and tell the housekeeper how much charcoal is distributed in Liyuan, and double the amount in the future, and check it along the way. If any servant with unclean hands and feet dares to deduct from it, he will surely Severe punishment!"

"Don't worry, old lady, this servant will go to Steward Fu right away."

The old lady waved her hand and signaled Nanny Zhang to go to work.

The old lady chatted with Lin Qingqian for half a stick of incense, and seeing her sick and tired, she told her to recover from her illness, and left with a group of servants.

As soon as the old lady walked away, Qiudong said anxiously: "Miss, our charcoal was given to Mr. Gu. If Zhang Mama finds out that no one has withheld it, how should I explain it to the old lady?"

Lin Qingqian gave Qiudong a calm look.

He said slowly: "There are a lot of snobbish servants. Do you think that no one withheld Liuyuan's things when the certificates were issued at the beginning of the month? Is it possible? At most, I dare not make it too obvious."

Thinking about it in Qiudong, the young lady had not changed at that time, the old lady didn't like it, the lady was neither salty nor indifferent to her, and there were indeed many servants secretly bullying Liuyuan, just because it wasn't too much, these things were always left alone.

The corners of Lin Qingqian's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "Don't be afraid now, there must be enough charcoal in our yard, and I'm afraid it won't be used up. You can send some to brother Chang Geng when you have time in spring and summer. Remember to be careful, don't let the Others will see."

"The servant knows."

Lin Qingqian yawned, she was really tired after recovering from a serious illness.

"Go down, I'll squint for a while."

Qiudong tucked up the bedding for Lin Qingqian, and walked out lightly.

After closing the door, Qiu Dong stood in front of the door with a complicated expression.

Is this really the same person as the former lady?Why does it make her feel like two different people.

……

Jinglan Court.

When Nanny Zhang came back, the old lady asked, "How did the investigation go?"

"Returning to the old lady, there are indeed cases where servants withheld the third lady's share, ranging from the monthly distribution of items to the sample money, but it was not too much, so no one paid attention to it."

The old lady was furious, and she slapped the table hard, "Okay! These slaves are really daring, they confiscated everything from the master, and sold it all to me. Our prime minister's mansion will not tolerate such evil slaves!"

"The servant girl understands, so let's do it according to the old lady's wishes."

"and many more."

Nanny Zhang was about to leave when the old lady stopped her suddenly, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else the old lady wants to tell the servants?"

"Choose a few good-looking cloths and other items and send them to Qingqian. Since Wang's absence, the child has been wronged in the past two years."

Zhang Momo was startled, she was an old man beside the old lady, except for the second young master, she had never seen the old lady care so much about any junior, and the third lady was afraid that she would be favored by her in the future.

"Old lady, don't worry, the slaves will choose carefully."

This time the old lady's reward can be said to have alarmed the entire prime minister's mansion.

More than a dozen maids entered the garden with rewards, how could they not make people stunned.

Is this the most unfavored concubine third lady in the prime minister's mansion?

Chun Xia looked at the objects on the table in disbelief.

"Miss, look at this piece of fabric, it's made of high-quality satin, and this jewelry is exquisitely crafted, it's not ordinary at first glance, and this..."

Compared to the surprised Chun Xia, Lin Qingqian smiled flatly and said, "Okay, you've already said it's time for a cup of tea. If you're not thirsty, I'll be thirsty for you. Sit down and have a cup of tea for a break." Come on."

"It's okay if the lady doesn't say anything, but the servant is really thirsty."

Qiudong glanced at Gululu and poured a cup of tea for Chunxia, ​​and said helplessly: "Chunxia, ​​when will you make a fuss about your problems, don't embarrass the lady when you go out in the future."

Chun Xia scratched her head and smiled innocently, "I dare to do this in front of Miss, but outside, I definitely wouldn't dare to be so unruly."

"As long as you know."

And the person in the topic has already lost his mind, staring at the pile of items on the table, muttering, "I have to see, pick a few pieces that Brother Chang Geng can use, and send them to him..."

Chun Xia Qiu Dong showed the same speechless expression.

Miss, don't you think you are too concerned about Mr. Gu?Well, always think of him first.

……

Orchid Court.

Lily told Mrs. Xu everything about Liuyuan, and Mrs. Xu lowered her eyes and concentrated on threading needles and embroidery on the embroidery frame. After a long while, she said lightly: "I see, prepare some things and order someone to send them to Liuyuan to the third lady." .”

Lily didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she answered "Yes." She stepped back slowly.

Lin Qingwu, who was practicing calligraphy at this moment, put down his pen, frowned, and said, "Mother, Lin Qingqian has been a little weird these days, you really don't..."

"Continue to practice calligraphy." Xu raised her eyelids, interrupting Lin Qingwu's words.

Lin Qingwu was puzzled, and shouted with a hint of displeasure, "Mom! Why aren't you worried at all?"

"It's just a concubine. Forgive her and she won't make any trouble. Even if the old lady loves her, at most she can find a better marriage in the future."

Mrs. Xu put down the embroidery frame, raised her head, her face was beautiful, and she said unhurriedly: "I forgot what I told you as a mother. A woman should be tolerant. Now you can't bear even a concubine in the mansion. How can you become a mother in the future?" Queen of the world!"

Lin Qingwu was taken aback by Xu's blunt words, "Mother, this..."

"Mother, tell me again, what you should do now is to learn how to look good, play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and become a gentle and elegant woman, do you understand?"

Lin Qingwu felt unwilling, but seeing that Mrs. Xu was a little warm and angry, she could only respond, "Yes, my daughter understands."

Mrs. Xu sent things to Liuyuan for the mistress of the prime minister's mansion, and the other concubines naturally also sent things, including the fourth daughter's biological mother and third wife Wen Shi.

For a moment, everyone in the mansion secretly sighed, indeed, the world is changing, who would have thought that the third young lady who was not favored in the past, would be in a completely different situation in just a few days.

……

Ming Garden.

Lin Qingrou listened to the maid Xianglan's report, her eyes were sinister, she gritted her teeth, her childish face was a little distorted by jealousy in her heart.

"Hmph, I really underestimated my third sister before, it really is a good way to make grandma dote on her like this in a few days!"

Just wait and see, she's not vegetarian either!
