Chapter 11
Lin Jingmo spent the whole night without sleep, and the sky dawned in a blink of an eye.

She put the two ugly cloth dolls that had been sewn on the table, then combed her hair, changed her clothes, and ran to the next room to open the door, shouting: "Get up, get up. "While calling Mama Li and the five maids who served her in the main courtyard, the three mothers called up.

Li's mother sat up from the bed sleepily and looked at her: "Second girl, what are you going to do, the chickens outside haven't crowed three times yet!" After saying that, she lay down again.

Lin Jingmo walked to the bed and gently pushed her up, and said coquettishly: "The rooster has crowed three times, Mama Li, get up quickly, and go to the morning court while the business is in order, and take the girl in our house away." Call all the servants, as well as those guards who have some strength, tell them to wait for me in the hall, I have a good job for them!"

Mother Li looked at Lin Jingmo helplessly, and had no choice but to reply: "Yes, the villain is calling them all!"

In the hall, Lin Jingmo sat on the grand master's chair, watching the servants who came one after another.Mother Li stood beside her with a wooden tray full of silver taels.

After a while, Li's mother said to Lin Jingmo: "Girl, almost all the servants of our family can arrive, please order."

Lin Jingmo put the tea bowl on the square table beside him, stood up, looked at the crowd, pointed to some of the guards and said to the boy: "Go and get some money from Mama Li to buy some tools to repair the house, and then hire some workers Go and repair the octagonal pavilion and the roof in the backyard."

She stopped to think for a while, and then said: "Also, the dead trees in the yard have been pulled out, and a flower bed has been re-enclosed, and some seeds and flower seedlings have been planted."

They obeyed the order, went to Li's mother to get the silver and went out to do business.

Lin Jingmo picked three girls in his yard again, and said: "You guys are all working as female celebrities for me on weekdays. You are not used to rough work. You have always been good at knitting. Go to the shops outside to pick out some fashionable girls. Clothes made of strong cloth, and curtains and curtains cut to the size of the main house in the backyard."

After that, she stretched out her fingers and counted: "There are also beds, from pillows to quilts, all replaced with new ones."

The three maids took the order to get the silver from Mother Li and went out to buy it.

Afterwards, Lin Jingmo said to the rest of the people: "As for the other girls and mothers, please work hard to clean up the backyard together, and everyone will be rewarded when it's over."

All the girls and women rushed to the backyard one after another when they heard that there was a silver reward. Seeing that the door was locked tightly, they all stood still and started discussing in low voices.

Lin Jingmo arrived and looked at the confused faces of the servants who were arguing a lot. She pointed to the lock on the door and said, "Who did this? My lord's mother lives in it. How dare you dare Locking the door is really against the sky."

Seeing that everyone did not answer.Lin Jingmo pointed to his maid Qiaoxiang and said, "Qiaoxiang, you are the most honest. Tell me, who locked the lock?"

Qiaoxiang just shook her head, and Cao Mama, who came to do rough work with Lin Jingmo as a dowry, said: "My uncle never allows anyone to come to the backyard, and he also takes care of the old lady's daily life when he comes back from court. We are only responsible for occasional care. She brings some food, anyone who dares to disturb the old lady in the backyard will be punished!"

Hearing this, Lin Jingmo couldn't help thinking: It must be because she was afraid that people would go in and bully her, so she locked the door, right?
After all, I have hit her before... Fire and theft... I have to guard my wife... Don't you have to put a lock on it!

Thinking of this, she said to the two boys: "Go get the tools and pry the door open."

The two boys were unmoved.

Lin Jingmo pretended to be fierce and said: "You are afraid of being beaten by adults, but are you not afraid of being beaten by my wife?"

Hearing this, he hurriedly took something to pry open the door.

After a while, the door was opened, and Lin Jingmo was about to go in, but was stopped by Li's mother: "Second girl, you forgot, the old lady...she is afraid of you, so if she just goes to the backyard like this, there will be trouble again."

Lin Jingmo smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I've prepared for it!" After finishing speaking, she took out a veil from the pouch at her waist, put it on her head, squeezed the ribbon at the back tightly, and raised her brows lightly and said : "That's fine."

Lin Jingmo was about to go in again, and Mother Li stopped her again, and said, "It's dirty and messy inside, you have to clean it up, as long as you have girls and women go, you are the second girl of the Shangshu Mansion, you will lose your status if you go in .”

After finishing speaking, Mother Li looked left and right again, leaned against Lin Jingmo's ear, and whispered with her finger to her head: "Besides, this old lady is insane, she is not normal here, what if I hurt you again!"

Lin Jingmo shook his head helplessly, put down Mama Li's hand, and said solemnly: "I even prepared the veil, so I must go in. If mom dare not go in, go to the kitchen to pick some bird's nests. ...for the old lady to eat."

Mother Li nodded: "Okay, I'll pick more, the second girl will be tired when she thinks about it, so eat more." Then she turned and went to the kitchen.

Afraid of waking up Shang's mother, Lin Jingmo asked people to clean up the yard and other side rooms first, while he took clean clothes and went into the main house where Shang's mother was staying alone.

When she entered the main house, she found that the house had been cleaned up very tidy, and the tents that were broken that day were replaced with new ones: Did Shang Shixu replace these by himself?

Lin Jingmo walked into the inner room and found that Shang's mother was sleeping. She opened the tent on the bed, walked softly to the bed and squatted down, looking at Shang's mother carefully.

Through the beam of light coming in from the window lattice, she saw the face of Shang's mother hidden under the disheveled hair, and suddenly she was startled...

Shang's mother's left face was covered with burn scars!
Lin Jingmo covered his mouth that was about to scream in surprise, at this moment, Shang's mother suddenly opened her eyes.

Lin Jingmo was so frightened that he slumped on the ground.

Mother Shang quickly sat up and hid inside the curtain, revealing two frightened eyes.

Lin Jingmo came back to his senses, stood up, and said softly, "Mother..."

Shang's mother rolled her eyes strangely, and said, "His Royal Highness..."

Lin Jingmo took out a new doll sewn with cloth from the small bag at his waist, with two characters tattooed on it impressively - Time Sequence.

Lin Jingmo reached out and handed the doll to Shang's mother, and said softly, "I'm not the princess, I'm the princess' sister...Look at this doll, do you like him?"

"Time sequence..." Shang's mother took the doll, looked at the words on it, and said in her mouth: "I gradually feel that a leaf is startling in autumn, and the remnants of cicadas are making noise at night. Su Shang time sequence...time sequence..."

Lin Jingmo responded: "Yes, I trampled on your doll, so I sewed a new doll for you. This is called time sequence. Do you know who time sequence is?"

Upon hearing the words, Shang's mother raised her head suddenly, and repeated loudly: "The villain doesn't know...the villain doesn't know..."

Lin Jingmo looked puzzled and didn't know what she was talking about. Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, he quickly waved at her and said, "If you don't know, forget it. Don't think about it!"

Seeing that she was still repeating it non-stop, Lin Jingmo took out another doll from the bag and handed it to her.

Mother Shang looked at the doll, stopped, and read out the words tattooed on the doll: "Jing...Mo?"

Lin Jingmo frowned, and smiled slightly: "Yes, it's Jingmo, Jingmo is my name, mother, Jingmo is your son-in-law."
