Daughter of General

Chapter 39 Computation
Shen Yulan pulled Jin He to lean on the couch together, and let Mama Lin sit on the stool beside her, and then she smiled and said, "Mama Lin is from the capital? Has she been working in the mansion?"

"I'm from the capital, but I haven't come back for a few years, and I'm at the border with the master. I also know the young lady who is in charge, and she is Wang Li who is next to the master. I am in the inner house, and he runs errands with the master. After all, I follow the master. , It’s been quite a few years.” Mother Lin didn’t hide anything, and said with a smile: “Back then our family sold themselves, if it wasn’t for the master, we would have starved to death.”

Shen Yulan smiled and said nothing.This is not easy to answer.But her heart is open - Wang Li's family is very loyal to Shen Junzhi, right?After all, it's not just a matter of selling one's body for money, but also a life-saving grace.

"Mother Lin, do you have children?" Shen Yulan asked about other things.

When mentioning the children, Mama Lin's face suddenly had some maternal brilliance: "I gave birth to three, but unfortunately only the eldest son survived. The second son fell ill when he was young, and the daughter was hungry and sick when the disaster happened. I didn't make it through."

Even though it's been a long time, Mama Lin's sigh and pain will not fade away easily.

Shen Yulan hurriedly apologized: "It's my fault, mentioning this made you sad. However, these things can't be blamed on you, you have to mourn."

"That's the reason. Those who have gone have gone, but those who are alive have to live well." Mother Lin's words were quite philosophical.

Shen Yulan nodded.However, she felt that Lin's mother had other meanings when she said this.As if trying to persuade her? !
After lowering her head and pondering, Shen Yulan quickly understood—may Li's mother feel that she is still sad for Wu Shi's death?That's why I say a word of relief.

"Then you are working in the mansion, what should your son do? Who will take care of him for a day?" Shen Yulan asked again.She intends to find out everything about Mother Lin's situation.

"I'm in my teens, why do I need to take care of them? Besides, when I really need someone, there are people I've made friends with to help take care of me. I don't worry about it. Besides, we all live in the mansion, and it's only a few steps away." I can go back." Mother Lin's expression was very relaxed, which seemed to be the truth.

Shen Yulan thought it was true - although Mama Lin and the others lived in the servant's room in the mansion, they were still in the same mansion after all.If something really happened, you can go back in a few minutes.

"Besides, he's learning how to do errands now. Someone is taking care of me." Mother Lin smiled, and the smile was very comfortable: "If you can't get out, the master won't let me serve the young lady at ease. Yes. In fact, if the eldest lady has a wet nurse, it would be most appropriate for the wet nurse to be the mother in charge at this time, otherwise why would I be needed?"

"Mother Lin's words are very modest." Shen Yulan said with a smile.But she sighed in her heart—she really wanted to have a nanny.It's a pity that Mrs. Wu never looked for her at all.Even some maids and women who served around me, most of them didn't bring them into the capital.And the only ones brought into the capital died on the way.

However, Shen Yulan understood very well that it would be a great thing for her to have such a capable mother in charge by her side.Whether it is now or in the future, it will be useful.Especially the mother in charge, if she is loyal by her side, then at this time, she doesn't know how much benefit she will have.

Thinking of this, she sighed again - it was more and more unworthy for Wu Shi and the original Shen Yulan.

You know, Wu Shi and the original Shen Yulan have never enjoyed the current treatment of Guo Shi and Shen Yushan at all.

And it is precisely because of this that people feel uneasy.To feel angry and sad.They are also wives and daughters, but the difference is almost cloudless.

How confused is Shen Junzhi to do such a thing?Shen Yulan couldn't help laughing mockingly.

After seeing Shen Yulan's smile like this, Mother Lin was stunned.She remembered the whispers Wang Li had said to her.

Mother Lin changed the topic: "Shuangfu looks good to me, but there is something I want to ask Missy about. Shuangfu is a little old, shouldn't he report to his wife and make her admire her?" Is it? If we continue to delay like this, we are afraid that something will happen in the future. Even Miss Biao's Shuangxi is in the same situation."

Shen Yulan raised her eyebrows - she naturally understood that Mother Lin was showing her favor.Double Blessings and Double Happiness were sent by the Guo family, so they are not suitable for keeping by your side.

"In that case, mother should go back to my wife. Mother doesn't need to tell me about such a small matter. Just follow the rules." Shen Yulan said so, and looked at Mother Lin meaningfully: " As long as it's for our own good."

Jin He also nodded: "That's exactly what I said. Yulan and I are young, and we don't understand many things. In the future, we will rely on your mother for a lot. Isn't it because of this that uncle asked mother to come?"

Mother Lin didn't say anything modest, and agreed with a smile: "Master does mean that. I feel that I usually handle things properly, so I feel relieved to entrust the young lady to my care."

Such an attitude makes people like it even more.Shen Yulan smiled: "From now on, Mom should worry more. I also know that the girls in our yard are either too young, or they just don't care, and they will have to tire Mom."

"This is my duty, Missy is serious." Mother Lin smiled, then pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth: "Master values ​​Missy very much, for Missy, he had many disputes with his wife. Let’s just talk about what happened a few days ago, but the second lady was grounded and not allowed to leave the yard for half a year. This is something that has never happened before.”

"Oh?" Shen Yulan didn't know about this, and was a little surprised, but then he returned to his indifferent look, as if he didn't take this matter to heart: "Foot restraint is nothing. It's just boring .”

Seeing this, Mother Lin couldn't say anything more, she just said: "It's about time, ladies, it's time for a nap." Then she retreated.

Shen Yulan and Jin He lay down side by side. Jin He took the fan and fanned it up and down. After a moment of silence, he said softly: "Yulan, I may be sincere when I look at my uncle. This mother Lin looks good. .”

"I'm just worried about it." Shen Yulan understood what Jin He meant, but she didn't want to say any more, so she yawned and turned over and closed her eyes.Only when I fell asleep.

Jin He sighed and didn't speak any more, but still played the fan for Shen Yulan.

Shen Yulan felt a little depressed, but didn't know what to do.If she were to please Shen Junzhi again now, she would always feel bad.But she also knew that it was impossible to hide from Shen Junzhi for a lifetime.

Now it's just hiding for a while.But the ostrich thought in her heart made her think that if she could hide for a while, it would be a while, and she would talk again when she really couldn't hide.

As for Shen Yushan's confinement - she felt that after all, Shen Junzhi was very tolerant and loving towards Shen Yushan.Otherwise, after making such a big mistake, how could it just be grounded?Not letting him go out to play is a punishment?

Under Shen Yulan's deliberate avoidance, for half a month, Shen Yulan did not meet Shen Junzhi once.

Shen Junzhi didn't take the initiative to come, and she didn't take the initiative to go either.The only chance she could meet was at Guo Shi's, but she had carefully calculated the time to go to Guo Shi's, just to avoid Shen Junzhi.

However, such things cannot always be calculated accurately. For example, Shen Yulan didn't know that Shen Junzhi came back early that day.So it just happened to happen when I was going to pay my respects to Mrs. Guo.

Seeing Shen Junzhi sitting there, Shen Yulan froze for a moment, then walked in with downcast eyes as if nothing had happened, and then saluted the two of them.

When calling Shen Junzhi, Shen Yulan's tone was also calm.Neither clean nor cold.

Guo turned her head to look at Shen Junzhi, and seeing Shen Junzhi's expressionless face, she smiled and said, "Yulan will eat at my place today. We haven't eaten together for a long time."

"My dear wife, Ben Yulan shouldn't have declined, but I just made a wish to pray for my mother for a month, so I won't touch meat. So I don't want to stay anymore." Shen Yulan smiled, calmly declined.

"In that case, then I won't keep you." Shen Junzhi said coldly.

Shen Yulan pretended not to see the displeasure on Shen Jun's face, and quit with a smile.

When I retreated to the door, I heard Mrs. Guo smile at Shen Junzhi: "This child is really filial. He never forgets her mother. The master is very lucky to have such a daughter. But she is better than Yushan. Yushan is confused, how can she I think so much. My mind is still playing.”

Shen Yulan sneered.That's disgusting enough.This Guo's speech is also strange, so he must say it upside down.Isn't it just to make Shen Junzhi unhappy with her?

As for Shen Junzhi's reaction, Shen Yulan didn't have the time to listen, instead she quickened her pace and left.

It's just that Shen Yulan couldn't slow down until she returned to her own yard.There was still a look of displeasure on his face.

Jin He came over to ask, and Shen Yulan explained the situation.He didn't say anything else, just said that he met Shen Junzhi.I remembered something unpleasant.

Jin He naturally tried to persuade him again.Shen Yulan was irritated, so she hid away.He only said that he had something to discuss with Mother Lin.

Mother Lin looked at Shen Yulan unhappy, but she also asked a question.

Shen Yulan didn't say anything.

Mother Lin thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Shall I tell the young lady a joke? Yesterday my son was fighting with someone else, and they came to the door. I was so angry that I gave him a few words in front of the other party. Next, he stunned it for a while. He said that I didn't hurt him, and asked me if he picked it up, others were my son. Because he was fighting, it was not what he provoked. But it’s okay. But I don’t ask about indiscriminate matters, but I only focus on defending others. This made him feel very wronged, and when I went out this morning, he still happily ignored me. "
