There is a marble table in the orange grove. There are snowflakes and leaves on the table. There are four stone drum stools beside the table.

Shuilinlang swept the snow of a stone drum stool, took off the blue stone jacquard collar on the neck, spread it on it, helped the old woman sit down, and said, "the stone stool is cool. If you are old enough, it will be bad." Then he swept the snow of a stone drum stool beside him and sat down by himself.

"You are a good girl."

"I don't have any other skills. I can only be better than others. My mother often says that God bless good people. I think God will protect me."

"Girl, God wants to bless so many people. Sometimes, he can't take care of them. You have to rely on yourself."

"My mother-in-law is right." Now Xiao Lang is still in deep water. She can't count on heaven. She has to rely on herself.

"Now there are only six servants in your room, two of them are brought by yourself, and the other four are appointed by the second lady. The two little hooves, the golden Finch and the jade crow, are also the servant girls who have been in the house for a long time. They are also the people of the second lady. They are also good at carrying some airs on weekdays. Jia Hu and Ge Qing are both in the master's room, because the master has been away for many years, and they don't go home very often. These two punters are just used to being loose, and they won't do too much for you. "

Shuilinlang was surprised. What's sacred about this old woman? She had never seen her before. Why did she know the situation of the katydids hall clearly? She didn't know from which room the golden Finch, jade crow, Jia Hu and Ge Qing were originally assigned.

"There are only two kinds of identities in the villa, one is the master, the other is the servant. Although the second lady thinks highly of you and wants master Yan to accept you as a concubine, you are still a servant. According to the legend, you were born like Miss Gu in Yangzhou, so the couple will favor you, otherwise you won't be allowed to live in a yard as big as the katydid house. But although you seem to be their master, in their hearts, you are just a slave with a higher status than them, so they have no respect for you. "

Water Lin Lang secretly nodded: "mother-in-law, your analysis is too right."

The old lady said with a smile, "since you know your status is low, you need to find a backer. This is the rule in both business and officialdom. Therefore, the rich will be richer and the noble will be more expensive. Because the rich and the noble have stronger and more backing, they can do things more easily and get more naturally. The second lady can be regarded as your support naturally, but now the old lady has retired behind the scenes, and the eldest lady is not in charge of the business. The second lady wants to take care of the up and down of the mountain villa, and it is impossible to see you all the time. So, you need to find someone who can speak to the second lady. "

"You mean... Mother Ding?"

"Not bad. This person loves money and is the best one to deal with. She is the red lady in front of the second lady. She can speak on behalf of the second lady. As long as you reach her, people will feel that you are really favored in front of the second lady. "

After a pause, the old lady said, "you have a good relationship with the young lady, but when the wife and the concubine are together, their status is a bit awkward. Just like red flowers and green leaves, you are the green leaf, which can only set off the beauty of red flowers forever. "

"The young lady was born in a noble family. She is knowledgeable and reasonable. No matter how beautiful she looks, how cultivated she is and how talented she is, I can't match her. I'm just a little firefly. How dare I compete with the sun and the moon?"

The old woman laughingly took the water's beautiful hand: "child, you can think so, that's right. Don't say that the young lady has the support of her ancestors behind her. Even without them, no one can shake her position just because of the royal marriage of the emperor Taizu. But the young lady is a well-known good friend of the villa. She is good not only to you, but also to everyone. In this way, you can't show your special position in front of her. However, you can often go to Zhuoxiang garden. You can go out of the relationship. Although the young lady treats everyone equally, as long as you go to her frequently, she will return to you more often. In other people's eyes, your relationship with her will stand out. "

Water can not help but exclaim: "Granny, you are so powerful!"

"Well, I just ate a few Jin more salt than you, so don't flatter me—— I'm going to be alone with the old man for a while. You can go back first

Shuilinlang got up and said, "grandma, I'll go first, and you'll go back earlier. It's cold."

"Well, when you get out of the orange grove and go west, you see a stone arch bridge. When you cross the bridge, it's the Crystal Hall. Ask someone. Don't get lost again!"

"Granny, you are a good man. Thank you."

"I'm not a good man. You don't have to thank me. I just want to talk to you a little bit, and I haven't helped you much."

"Anyway, I thank you!" Shuilinlang bows to her with the ceremony of the world.……

The crystal hall is the place where Li ziluo's family lives. Her mother Su Minghui, the daughter of her ancestors, married Li Quansheng, the richest man in Hangzhou, with his compatriots. Because this time I learned that my ancestors were bedridden, I took Li ziluo back to my mother's home to do my filial duty.

Su Minghui and Li ziluo have just had lunch. They sit in their room chatting. Crystal Pavilion is different from katydid Pavilion. Katydid Pavilion is close to the main dining room of the mountain resort, so lunch and dinner are sent by special people. The servants only make breakfast and supper occasionally. If they want to save trouble, they can even order the main dining room to arrange breakfast and supper, This is all ordered by Mrs. Feng. The crystal Pavilion is different in that it has special chefs, all of which are brought by Su Minghui from Hangzhou, because Li ziluo is used to Hangzhou cuisine and tastes sweet. Almost all the dishes in the general dining room are Suzhou cuisine.

A servant came and announced, "madam, miss, here comes water girl."

Li ziluo was slightly shocked: "how did she come?" At Shu Yingchun's birthday party, she and Su Yun are embarrassed. Shuilinlang's visit is a big surprise to her.

Su Minghui: "but the water girl from the northwest?"

Li ziluo: "that's right. Even she, a rustic Xiali, dares to compete with her cousin for color, and does not weigh her own weight."

"Luo Er, your surname is Li. If you don't get involved in the business of the mountain villa, what do you know about your daughter's family?"

"Niang, I'm just complaining about my cousin's injustice. She and her brother Yan are talented and beautiful. She's a poor girl who makes a public appearance. Why should she intervene?"

"No matter what, she is also your brother's person. Be polite to others."

"I've been very polite to her. You didn't see how Yun girl spoke to her last night. It's called a needle in the neck. It's sour and mean. She almost didn't cry for her surname water."

Su Minghui scolded: "yun'er is yun'er, you are you. As soon as others encourage you, you will follow. She doesn't live in the mountain villa. If there is any fire, it won't burn her. This time I went home to visit my ancestors and the tea garden in Shifeng, Hangzhou. The tea garden used to be the property of Jue mountain villa. It has always been managed by the Li family. Now it is classified as tribute tea. Your father wants to buy the land from your uncle. Your uncle hasn't come back yet. The second lady is in charge. Miss Shui is the person that the second lady brought into the house. You should be more eye-catching and offend the second lady. When your uncle comes back, I can't speak well in front of him. "

"I see!" Li ziluo answered reluctantly
