Lin Hui pursed her lips: "What's so good about that? "Previously, Grandmother scolded us two, but now, she scolded me and only me. What do you think?"

Lin Shu only laughed.

As expected, when Lin Shu went to pay her respects to the Grand Madam once again, the Grand Madam began to berate him, saying that she ran around the Duke Chengan Palace without any rules.

Although she reprimanded him, her attitude was extremely intimate.

Lin Hui secretly stuck out her tongue at Lin Shu.

Seeing that, the Grand Madam did not say anything, and turned to speak with the First Madam again, "... However, Madam Ye has already been married into the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion for more than a year now, so no matter what, it is too late. And although this new wife of the Duke Chengan Palace is also the Aunt of the Madam Ye, if news of this spread, it would not be nice and good, so he will have to go to the Duke Chengan Palace less. "

She had always valued face, so how could she allow her eldest grandson's wife to call a concubine as her aunt?

At that time, she had thought that Madam Ye's father lived in the Third Rank, and with her sister-in-law Duke Chengan, it would only be a matter of time before she entered the pavilion. But now, it seemed that it was just too much for Madam Ye's father to want to enter the Cabinet.

Now that the First Madam knew that sshe was not in the right, he could only say, "My wife knows."

This high class daughter-in-law of hers was good, but also bad. For example, at this time, if it was Madam Lian, she would have already scolded them, but now, it was the Kong Family of Jin'ling that had to endure her anger.

Lin Shu saw that the situation was bad and quickly took her leave.

Once he returned to the Linglong Pavilion, Actinin Qin welcomed him: "Miss, in a few days, it will be the birthday of Second Madam. What gift do you plan to send over?"

Lin Shu said: "For a small matter like this, you just have to decide on it."

Actinin Qin was in a bit of a difficult situation now, "Originally, this servant thought that she was serving under this new Linglong Pavilion, and asked Nanny Zhu what kind of present she should give this time, but Nanny Zhu said … "As for the jade cabbage in your study, it's not bad …" Even she knew that this jade cabbage was worth a lot.

Lin Shu laughed coldly: "She actually dared to say that Second Aunt is already that loyal to her."

After thinking for a moment, she instructed, "Then why don't you just randomly embroider two wallets? When the time comes, you can lend me the reason to give it to Second Madam!" You still want the Jade Cabbage? Even if she were to smash Jade Cabbage to pieces, she wouldn't give it to Second Madam.

In these few days, other than accompanying Madam Lian at Fanghua Garden, Lin Shu had not gone anywhere else to pay respects at Green Pine Academy.

With this, Second Madam became anxious. He wished that he could send people over to Linglong Pavilion three times a day to invite them, but Lin Shu did not come back.

It was just that Lin Shu was surprised that she mentioned that she wanted to learn from Madam Lian as a butler, but was rejected by him. "You are still so young, now is naturally the time for you to have fun. Don't keep yourself in the books at such a young age. At such a young age, what will happen if your eyes burn?"

Lin Shu was stunned.

First Madam had said many times that she wanted Lin Hui to learn to provide feedback to him, but when Lin Hui brought up the account book, she felt a headache.

However, when Actinin Qin said these words, she did not have the heart to let her mother work so hard. Listening to Actinin Qin, the light in her mother's room would frequently shine through the middle of the night, "But these things, sooner or later, I will have to learn them all. It's the same whether it's studying early or evening;

Madam Lian stroked her bun and said smilingly, "How old is my Sister Shu? Why are you thinking about getting married? "Don't worry, mother will help you decide your marriage. I guarantee that I won't let you suffer any grievances in the future …" Her words seemed to have a plan in mind.

Lin Shu could not ask.

It just so happened that at this time, Lin Hui came to Fanghua Garden to look for her. She said that her grandfather had sent her some good things, and gave her some.

Waiting for Lin Shu to return, she heard Peony's voice, "... Although your thoughts are good, but I am afraid that Grand Madam is the first to not be able to explain himself. Although Grand Madam does not like our family, but regarding the Fourth Miss's marriage, we still need Grand Madam's permission.

Lin Shu's hand that was about to pull open the curtain stopped, and only lifted up a corner.

The Madam Lian held the account book in one hand, and her other hand was fiddling with the abacus. She didn't even raise her head, "So what if I have an arrangement? "I don't care what he has done for his career, nor do I care. I just want to use my daughter as a stepping stone. Even if I had to risk my life, I would never agree to it!"

Saying that, she paused for a while, "Although Rao Geer is born into a business and has a bad reputation, is this girl's life more important, or is the future happiness more important? A few days ago, he even wrote to me that he wanted to go down the stage at such a young age, and in the future, he would have to fight for his sister-in-law's title. I also told my sister-in-law that since Yangzhou does not have any great reputation, it would be better to send the Rao Geer to the capital to study under the teacher of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. "

Lin Shu was shocked, although she had never seen the Rao Geer her mother mentioned before, but she had heard of him before. He was called Lian Chengyao, her uncle's youngest son, and was very smart.

However, in his previous life, his mother had no intentions of accepting her cousin into the capital.

"..." You want your uncle's wife to send you to the capital? "How did you come up with this idea all of a sudden?" Peony was also puzzled.

"At first, when I saw that Sister Shu was still young, I had this plan in my heart, but she knew how to mess around. Now, she finally understood it, it's time for her and Rao Geer to have a good relationship, so that we don't have to be intimate. Even if Rao Geer has a concubine, a childhood sweetheart and cousin's relationship, she wouldn't be too bad towards Sister Shu."

When the time came, the aunt would be the mother-in-law, the husband would be the cousin, the family would be wealthy, and the daughter would not have to manage the affairs of the concubine family.

After a long while, Peony's voice could be heard again, "This servant still feels that you should discuss this with Master, I'm afraid Master and Grand Madam won't be willing to let go then …"

But the voice of the Madam Lian carried a hint of coldness, "You're not willing to let go? If you don't want to let go, then I will just bring Sister Shu and Li Li. Now that I'm staying in this place, controlling the entire Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, what is it for? Isn't it all for the Sister Shu? Other than having a good reputation, what else could Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion be used for? When I first married into this family, it took me several years to sort out that mess. "

"As for Sister Shu, you can't be like him, you can't be like him, I still remember when she was only three or four years old, I went to pay respects at the Green Pine Academy, Grand Madam was carrying him, beside him sat Sis Hui'er and the rest of the Sister Qian, only Sister Shu stood alone with her head lowered, looking at the cut melon on the table, looking like she wanted to eat it but did not dare to."

"In the end, Nanny Chen couldn't stand watching on. SShe ordered the little girl to bring a plate of honey melon for him. Even if the corners of the big and second rooms were sliced off, would still hold onto the small plate and take a bite of a melon to look at the strict Grand Madam. He wouldn't even dare to eat an extra melon … "

"At that time, I was watching by the side and I was on the verge of tears. How much could a plate of honey melon cost? All these years, the money that our Lian Family has sent over, I'm afraid we can already purchase a few courtyards full of honey! Later on, I thought that because Sister Shu was bleeding with the blood of the Lian Family, others would look down on her and treat her with contempt. This couldn't be changed by anyone, but I would give her the most luxurious life, making others admire her … "

Lin Shu stood outside the door as tears silently flowed down her face.

After her mother died in her previous life, her uncle had also come to her house to ask to marry her a few times. At that time, they had even quarreled intensely in the study room, but in the end, Grand Madam and Lin Pei had not agreed to this marriage.

No matter how much silver a merchant earned, a professional or merchant would always be ranked at the bottom of the list. How could a lady with Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion marry a merchant's son?

Later on, her uncle even came to the Linglong Pavilion and asked her if she was willing to go to the Yangzhou.

At that time, she was jumping around with Lin Qian at the Linglong Pavilion, and when she heard these words, she didn't even raise her head, only saying that she wasn't willing.

Since it had always been this way, Lin Shu could cry. Presumably, his mother had already planned everything out before she died, why else would her uncle come to visit him again and again? Although this Lian Family was for merchants, most of the shops held Lian Family, and for the past few years, she had been doing business with the Imperial Family. She was also a reputable person, so how could she come knocking on her door repeatedly to seek trouble?

A gust of wind blew, causing the leaves in the yard to rustle. Hibiscus walked over with several plates of chopped fruits, "Miss, why are you standing at the door?"

Lin Shu could only open the curtain and walk in with her, "I was looking at what was carved on this bamboo curtain, the bamboo curtain Uncle sent me was made from daffodil patterns, and she sent Mother a peony pattern, it was much better looking than mine."

Initially, Madam Lian was still worried that she might have heard what she had just said, but after hearing her words, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief, "I'm afraid that the peony pattern on the bamboo curtain in this young lady's house will not be able to be suppressed. Wait two years, ask your uncle to bring over a peony pattern on the bamboo curtain."

After saying that, she paused for a moment before continuing, "But there's no harm, if you like, I'll send someone to take down the bamboo curtains for Fanghua Garden tomorrow. I still have the autumn chrysanthemum pattern bamboo curtains your uncle sent over to you in the courtyard."

Although it was a small bamboo curtain, it was something to be taken care of. Not only was the bamboo curtain sent over by Lian Family extremely exquisite, it was also soaked in fragrant dew, pig-caged grass, and lavender grass multiple times. Once it was hung, not only did it cause the entire room to exude a fragrant aroma, it also had the effect of repelling mosquitoes.
