The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 91 The Second Aunt of the Lin Family

Wen's smiled, "Aren't they always so virtuous, why are you so angry?"

"They always think of me as a fool!" Second Master Lin exclaimed angrily.

Putting down the half-made cold clothes, Wen looked at her husband seriously, and said, "Husband, to be honest, our minds are really not enough. In the eyes of others, we are really like fools. Today at Zhao's house, Jiaojiao watched I can't understand things that I understand and think clearly, and she is only 14 years old."

Second Master Lin sighed, and said dejectedly, "Shen Ge has no father or mother. He started out at the age of 17 and opened a shop on his own. I will be thirty next year, and I can only do some errands for my family. .”

The couple, who thought they were not smart enough, fell silent at the same time.

After a long while, Wen seemed to be admonishing her husband, but at the same time telling herself, "The two of us are not smart enough, so don't go out and argue with others, otherwise we won't know how we died."

Second Master Lin also came back to his senses, "That's right! When father is here, we rely on father, and when father is gone, we listen to elder brother and sister-in-law. No matter how nice the talk outside is, how can elder brother and sister-in-law treat us well? "

Wen picked up the cold clothes and continued to sew one stitch at a time, "Unless their heads are kicked by donkeys."

Theoretically, after the death of the parents, the brothers should separate.

Mr. Lin and his three brothers separated after their father died.Because Mr. Lin is the eldest son, he got the ancestral house and most of the family business. After decades of hard work by Mr. Lin and Lin Kangnian, the family business of the Lin family has doubled, leaving Mr. Lin's two younger brothers far behind. behind.

Although Mr. Lin is capable, his relationship with offspring is not very strong.One wife and three concubines gave him eleven children in total, but in the end only two sons, one concubine and one concubine, and three daughters survived.

Therefore, Mr. Lin also loves the second master Lin, a concubine.

Before he died, Mr. Lin handed over the housekeeping rights and the seal to the eldest daughter-in-law, and told her not to separate the family until the children of the second household grew up. After that, Mr. Lin called the concubine to the bed again, gave him a worried look, and said , "Your elder brother has not returned from the sea, and everything outside the house is under the control of your elder sister-in-law."

Therefore, after the death of his father, the eldest brother did not return, no matter how harsh the outsiders said, Second Master Lin listened to his sister-in-law everywhere.

When he turns back, he will discuss it with his sister-in-law, and also give him the shop, and let him take care of it himself!After Lin Erye figured it out, he jumped up energetically, "I'll take Dafu for a ride."

Wen Shi, who likes horses, also cheered up, waved and said, "Go and find out the way, and I will take Jiaojiao and my daughter to go tomorrow."

Lin Erye and Dafu led the horse out of the courtyard when he saw his second sister get off the carriage outside the gate of the mansion and came over with his niece Qiao Yuanting.

"Second Sister." Second Master Lin hastily threw the reins of the horse to the boy, and hurried up to meet her.

Second Aunt Lin stopped, raised her eyes to look at her younger brother, "It's getting dark, you still want to go out?"

To this seemingly calm and demure second sister who is about to blow off the roof of the house when she gets angry, Second Master Lin was terrified in his heart, and replied respectfully, "If you don't go far, just take the Dafu horse outside the gate of the house." Two laps."

After a pause, Lin Dafu couldn't hear the voice of saluting and greeting. Second master Lin turned his head and saw that silly boy was still holding the horse!
"Go, don't hurt anyone."

Second Aunt Lin would not care about a foolish child, and after a word of advice, she followed the welcoming woman into the gate of the courtyard.Qiao Yuanting saluted her second uncle and followed her in.As soon as the two of them entered the Chuihua Gate, they saw Fang Shi and Wen Shi coming out with Lin Ruyu and Lin Rumei.

Second Aunt Lin walked two steps quickly, and said gently, "You have injuries on your body, so what are you doing with these vain etiquettes?"

"Second aunt, cousin." Lin Ruyu also took her second sister to salute. In front of her second aunt, there was no need to save etiquette, because Lin Ruyu was also afraid that her second aunt might get angry.

Second Aunt Lin took a serious look at her eldest niece's hand, and then she was relieved to see that her eyes were not swollen from crying.

Back in Fang's courtyard, the three adults were sitting at the table having tea, and the three little girls were huddled on the long couch by the window and whispering.

The bookish Qiao Yuanting asked her cousin in a low voice curiously, "Jiaojiao, did you really hit the girl from the Song family?"

Second Aunt Lin's husband was appointed to sign the office of Xuanzhou Yamen, and Qiao's family usually dealt with officials and eunuchs in Xuanzhou City, and had little contact with merchants.However, the fact that Lin Ruyu beat Song Xiuying in the Zhao family was so shocking that even the Qiao family heard about it.

Lin Ruyu nodded slightly, stretched out a little finger and explained, "I was out of breath at the time, so I just... slapped her."

The second aunt Lin who was sitting at the table heard it, turned her head and said to Lin Ruyu, "Good fight."

It was rare to be praised by the second aunt, Lin Ruyu blushed, looked at her mother with surprise, joy and helplessness, not knowing how to deal with it.

It's not that she was cowardly, it's that this aunt left a terrible impression on her. When her grandparents were alive, they were cautious in front of her.

Wen sat at the table obediently and didn't dare to show his air, Fang smiled and took over the conversation, "Second Sister, stop praising her, this child can't help praising her since she was young."

At Fang's words, Second Aunt Lin couldn't help laughing, and Lin Ruyu also laughed silly.

Lin Ruyu is the first child of their generation in the family. Because the child of the Lin family is likely to die young, Lin Ruyu has been taken care of quietly since she was a child, and she has been loved.

During Catch Week, after the well-dressed Xiao Ruyu was placed in the middle of the round table, the eldest aunt who came from afar praised:
"Oh, Jiaojiao's eyes are really big and beautiful."

Everyone immediately praised Xiao Ruyu, the president, whose eyes are bigger and more beautiful than those of his parents.

After hearing this, Xiao Ruyu clenched her fists and exhausted all her strength, trying to open her eyes to the widest possible extent. The cute little appearance made the whole room laugh.

This embarrassing incident when she was a child would be brought up every time relatives and friends came to the house. Lin Ruyu would be upset when she heard it before, but now she feels very warm.

Because after listening to it now, the first thing she thinks of is that she has a family and parents, and she has been loved since she was a child.

This is very happy.

After laughing, Second Aunt Lin sent the children out and told Mrs. Fang about the disaster relief, "After the Lord Taishou sent up the disaster report booklet, Beijing only said that the local government should do its best to relieve the disaster, but did not allocate money and food. The matter. Brothers and sisters must be prepared in their hearts, and I am afraid that it will not be easy in the future."

Mrs. Fang asked in a low voice, "Can't the state government office open a warehouse to release grain?"

Second Aunt Lin shook her head lightly, "Ting'er's father said that without the order from above, it is a serious crime to implicate the family by opening a warehouse to release grain without permission."

This time, Fang's heart sank even more.

Wen's was puzzled, "I just paid the summer grain, and it's not that there is no grain in the official warehouse. Why not let it go? You can't just watch the people affected by the disaster starve to death?"

Second Aunt Lin didn't know much, so she just sighed and said, "There are all kinds of difficulties in living as a family, let alone a huge imperial court. I heard Ting'er's father say that the world is not peaceful now."

What the court does is beyond their control.Fang slowly clenched her fists, knowing that the next three months would be more difficult than she thought.
