Chapter 220 Taking it for granted
"When I entered the mansion this time, I also noticed that Mrs. Li's demeanor has changed." Mrs. Lin frowned when she thought of Mrs. Li she had seen in the main courtyard of Yan's mansion.
In the past, my uncle's heart was with his daughter. Although Mrs. Li was the first wife, she had no confidence in dealing with her daughter. But this time, not to mention the luxurious demeanor around her, there was even a hint of confidence and majesty in her eyebrows.
It made her faintly afraid to look directly.
Lin Xu also took over and said: "The Yan family's rules are getting stricter and stricter."
In the past, we didn’t talk about the female relatives. Even if the husband wanted to see his sister, there was no need to notify him. But now, if they want to come in, they have to submit a notice first, and the notice has to wait for Mrs. Li’s consent before they can come in.
Not only did it become troublesome, but I also suffered from a lot of cowardice in the process.
Aunt Lin sighed: "My master's official position is getting bigger and bigger, so he pays more and more attention to rules. And madam..." Aunt Lin smiled bitterly.
"Since I was promoted to magistrate, my wife has received and socialized at home with women from high-ranking officials and noble families. Even if her body is filled with the smell of copper, she will still be incense-scented."
"As for me, even though I am full of talent, I can only be locked up in this courtyard and cannot step out!"
Hearing this, both Lin Wang and Lin Xu fell silent.
They can't help at all with what Aunt Lin said.
Aunt Lin continued: "Furthermore, the uncle and the fourth master are becoming more and more promising, and the eldest girl is also extremely powerful. Madam's confidence is not enough."
Mrs. Lin answered the call this time: "Wenbin and Yishuang are also good boys. As your brother has said, Wenbin's talent in reading is no worse than that of the Yan family."
Aunt Lin smiled bitterly again: "So what, even if Wenbin can study again, the people he comes into contact with and the world he has seen cannot be compared to the uncle at Wangyue Academy."
"If a person wants to have a good future, it is not enough just to be able to read."
"Take the master as an example. When he was the county magistrate, he was so loved by the people, but because there was no support in the officialdom, he sat in the position of the county magistrate for nine years."
Mrs. Lin said with a dissatisfied face: "Why do you think the eldest daughter of the Yan family is so cruel? After all, Wenbin is her younger brother. She would rather help her third cousin than her own brother."
Aunt Lin sneered: "The eldest girl is cruel! I know she did it on purpose. She was taking revenge for the last time her brother designed her to get slapped by the master."
Mrs. Lin snorted: "This girl's family is still gentle and quiet. The eldest girl of the Yan family has such a bad temper. She will definitely suffer from her in the future."
When Mrs. Lin Xu saw her mother-in-law, the topic of their visit could not be brought up, so she had to reach out and pull her sleeves to remind her.
Mrs. Lin was pulled by her daughter-in-law, and when she saw her daughter-in-law looking at her, her face became a little hesitant and embarrassed.
On the side, Aunt Lin saw the actions of the two of them and frowned: "Mom, sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Lin Xu's expression froze: "...Mom, she has something to say to you."
Aunt Lin looked at Wang Lin: "Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Mrs. Lin glared at her daughter-in-law, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at her granddaughter who was just a few days old: "What are you going to do with this child?"
Aunt Lin was stunned, and for a moment she didn't understand what her mother meant.
What to do?
She naturally raised the child she gave birth to, so what else could she do?
Mrs. Lin did not dare to look into her daughter's eyes and said bravely: "Your brother has discussed it with us at home. Based on the current situation of the Yan family, it is best for you to send the child to the old lady's house to raise her."
Hearing this, Aunt Lin looked in disbelief at first, and immediately wanted to retort, but then she thought about it, thinking that the master was getting better and better towards his wife, and her position was in jeopardy, so she swallowed her words back.
Seeing that their daughter did not object fiercely, both Lin Wang and Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Wangshi explained: "Your brother is doing this for your own good. If you think about it carefully, he carried the child to the old lady's yard. If you don't care about anything else, just for the sake of the child, the old lady will be kind to you."
."
"With her backing you up, even if Mrs. Li becomes more and more proud, she won't dare to do anything to you!"
"Next, if you send your child to the old lady's courtyard to fulfill your filial piety, my uncle will be a little grateful and guilty to you. In this case, are you still afraid of falling out of favor in the backyard?"
"Last point, it is your dignity to raise the child next to the old lady, and it is also the best arrangement for the child. The old lady is the most noble person in the Yan family, and the food, clothing and supplies must be the best.
It’s a blessing for her children to follow her.”
Aunt Lin remained silent and did not speak.
Mrs. Lin sighed, stood up and patted Aunt Lin's hand: "Think about it for yourself, we will come over to see you next time."
After her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Aunt Lin lay on the bed without focus. After a while, she turned to look at her infant daughter next to her, and then called Xiyun over.
Xiyun: "Auntie, do you have anything to tell me?"
Aunt Lin stared at her infant daughter and finally closed her eyes: "Go to the hanging flower gate to block the master and ask him to come over tonight. Just tell him that I have something to see him."
......
"What did you say?"
Daohua looked at the mysterious Wang Maner in surprise: "Aunt Lin is going to send her newborn daughter to her grandmother's yard?"
Wang Man'er saw that his girl's face only showed amusement and no signs of worry, so she had to stamp her feet and said: "Oh, my girl, don't just watch the fun. The fifth girl is really going to be sent to the old lady's yard. How can you do it?"
What should I do?"
"Pfft~"
Daohua couldn't hold it back, she burst into laughter and said with a speechless smile: "What should I do? Do you think a baby can replace my position in my grandmother's heart?"
Wang Maner's expression paused, and she also thought it was impossible: "But, we can always spread the old lady's love away."
Daohua picked up the embroidery booth and continued to embroider pandas. She looked very calm and said sarcastically: "I thought that after coming to Xingzhou, Aunt Lin would be more self-aware, but I didn't expect that she didn't make any progress at all!"<
/p>
As he said that, he sneered.
"She wants to send the child to the grandmother's yard, but the grandmother has to take it in? Her face is still as big as ever!"
Wang Man'er watched his girl go about her work unhurriedly, and her anxious heart gradually calmed down.
Yes, I was in a hurry just now. It’s not certain whether the old lady is willing to take over the fifth girl.
Main courtyard.
Mrs. Li also received the news, a contemptuous smile flashed on her face, and then continued to count the New Year gifts sent by each family.
Ping Xiao was a little anxious and had to remind: "Madam, the master has gone to Songheyuan now, why don't you go and have a look?"
