Chapter 595 Joining hands with Mrs. Gu
Lin took Su Jinyi, and the two sisters of Su Jinqi did not go straight to the Duke of Gu to find Su Jinxin, but instead went to the Gu family, intending to see Mrs. Gu first. This was actually the idea Su Jinyi gave to Lin. She told Lin that Mrs. Gu was suppressed by Su Jinxin over the years and could not be angry. If Mrs. Gu joined forces to deal with Su Jinxin, she would have a greater chance of winning.
Lin glanced at Su Jinyi, "Why didn't my wife realize that you have a little more brain than Su Jinyan."
"Mom, we are people on the same boat now. If my daughter gets what she wants, she will definitely not forget her great kindness. The matter of the fourth sister in the future will be mine. What will my mother give me? My daughter must do it for her." Su Jinyi immediately swore to Lin.
Lin snorted coldly, "If you said today, it's best not to forget what you said, otherwise God will be full of eyes. Look at your second sister Su Jinxin, who has no children yet, so she swears randomly that day and suffered retribution."
"Mom is too worried. My daughter is not the kind of ungrateful person." Su Jinyi smiled dryly, but her face was a little stiff. She didn't believe it at first, but seeing that her second sister Su Jinxin had been married to the Duke of the Kingdom for more than four years and could not be pregnant, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She thought, at worst, when she became the Duke of the Kingdom, she would spend more money to eliminate the disaster when she gave Lin some money.
When he arrived at the Gu family's door, Lin pushed Su Jinqi, who was sleeping on her, and said softly, "Qi'er, wake up, we're here."
"It's finally here." Su Jinqi rubbed her sleepy eyes and complained to the sky, "Mom, if I sit down in the carriage, I'm almost vomiting." Su Jinqi has been favored by Lin over the years, and the lady's temper has become more and more arrogant. Su Jinyi is not sure whether she wants to deliberately let the fourth sister Su Jinqi develop such a spoiled lady-like temperament. Although everything is not to follow her, when she sees her beating and scolding the servants in the mansion, Su Jinyi will fuel the flames and help Su Jinqi.
The carriage stopped, and the servants of the Su family moved out of the bench. Su Jinqi and Su Jinyi stepped off the bench and got off the carriage. Lin finally got off.
"Go to knock on the door, and I say it's from the Su family in Lin'an, and I want to find my aunt." Lin ordered.
"Yes, madam." The servant of the Su family rushed to the front of the Gu family's door and knocked on it.
The vermilion gate opened. As soon as the butler Gu Zhong saw Lin, he hurriedly brought someone to greet him before the servant of the Su family said, "Yeah, it's Mrs. Su, please come quickly!"
When Su Jin was married to Mr. Gu Liu, the butler Gu Zhong gave the betrothal gift to the Su family. At that time, he had met Lin family, so the butler Gu Zhong remembered the Lin family clearly, the mother of the sixth young lady in the mansion.
"Mrs. Lin heard that my aunt has been in poor health in recent years. She wanted to come to see her aunt early, but she was in trouble in the house and could not get out of her. This has been delayed for several years. Alas." Lin's face was so good that she had to speak up very well, so she still couldn't lose her identity as Lin. "Gu Zhong, where is she at this moment, take my wife over."
"Madam Lausu, you are worried. My wife has taken medicine for many years, but it has been getting better and worse." Gu Zhong led the way and said, "Madam Su, go here, at this time, the lady may be praying for a child for Mrs. Sixth Young Master in the Buddhist temple."
Lin's face stagnated and he forced a smile, "My aunt loves my family so much is a blessing for Jingxin. If she is Jingxin, she should have a son and half of her daughter for the Gu family."
"The lady is really good to Mrs. Sixth Young Master. There are so many young ladies in the mansion. It is the first time that the old slave has seen her wife go to the Buddhist temple to recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name every day for Mrs. Sixth Young Master, and has never stopped it in the past four years. There are also various precious medicinal materials sent to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, which were handled by the wife himself. Although Mrs. Sixth Young Master is not very grateful, the lady always said it is okay. The master knew and advised the wife to say that Mrs. Sixth Young Master will understand the wife's painstaking efforts sooner or later..."
"The eldest aunt is so nice to her second sister." After hearing the words of the butler Gu Zhong, Su Jinqi felt more and more that her second sister Su Jinxin was as mean and ruthless as the rumors were, and she didn't even care about her own mother-in-law.
Su Jinyi also agreed, "It's just that my eldest aunt doesn't care about her second sister. If her second sister goes to another mansion, how could she meet a mother-in-law who is as generous as her eldest aunt?" But she thought to herself that it would be strange if her eldest aunt hates her second sister Su Jinxin so much, she would really beg her to beg her child. It's probably because she was asking the Bodhisattva to let her second sister Su Jinxin give birth to children.
As he spoke, he arrived at the Buddhist temple.
"Madam Su, two Miss Su, old slaves go in and report first, please wait a moment." The housekeeper Gu Zhong saluted to Lin, then walked into the Buddhist temple, told Tong'er that Lin took Su Jinyi and Su Jinqi and his sisters to Gu'er to see Mrs. Gu'er. Tong'er nodded, walked a few more steps forward, came to Mrs. Gu's ear, and whispered a few words.
What are they doing? When Mrs. Gu heard this, she wondered.
"Then invite them in." After Mrs. Gu said that, she closed her eyes and recited the Buddhist scriptures.
Lin took Su Jinyi and Su Jinqi into the Buddhist temple, and saw Mrs. Gu kneeling on the cushion, closing her eyes and reciting scriptures.
"Mom, she is that eldest aunt..." Su Jinqi just spoke, and Lin covered her with her hands. The Buddhist temple was quiet. Qi'er, a child, spoke so loudly, was blamed for spoiling her on weekdays.
Lin and Mrs. Gu have always had a rift. When they came in this time, they saw Mrs. Gu only chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name, ignoring the three of them, and they knew that Mrs. Gu was deliberately embarrassing her and letting her wait stupidly.
Humph, she was just her son-in-law's adoptive mother. What's so great about it? She dared to look at her face. Lin was angry, but her face was calm. Su Jinyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was most afraid that Lin would have a big fight with Mrs. Gu when she got angry. Then her affairs would be destined to fail.
About half an hour later, Mrs. Gu finished reciting the sutras. Of course, she really wanted to ask Lin to wait a few more hours, but she didn't have so many sutras to recite. She knelt on the cushion and had to kneel for so long. Mrs. Gu gave up. On weekdays, she just pretended to be in front of the people in the mansion. Today, Lin came, which may be the longest time she had kneeled in the Buddhist temple in four years.
"Ah, it's the third brother and sister. I won't say anything in advance when I come." Mrs. Gu saw Lin pretending to be overjoyed, and then scolded Tong'er, "You damn girl, Mrs. Su is here, why don't you tell me, how can you wait for a distinguished guest like Mrs. Su for so long? Do you know who Mrs. Su is? He is the mother-in-law of the Duke of the National Protection and the biological mother of your Sixth Young Lady! Let her wait. If your Sixth Young Lady knows this, you can spare you a few!"
"I know my mistake, please beg my wife for kindness." Tong'er hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Mrs. Gu, and then kowtowed to Lin, "Madam Su, I am a servant who is looking down on me. You have a lot of me, please spare me this time."
"Oh, what a big deal, get up quickly." Lin hurriedly went to help Tong'er, and he was not so angry.
"Madam Xie Su." Tong'er pretended to be grateful, and then stood respectfully behind Mrs. Gu.
Seeing that Lin's face had calmed down a lot, Mrs. Gu said, "Third brother and sister, why are you here after not seeing each other for many years?"
Lin sighed, "If my unfilial daughter doesn't come to see me, I can only lick this old face to see her."
With just one sentence, Mrs. Gu could not hear the grievances in Lin's words. Thinking of Su Jinxin's ignorance of his own mother over the years, she suddenly felt sympathy for Lin, "Three brothers and sisters, go, go, sit down in my room and talk slowly."
Mrs. Gu began to greet Lin enthusiastically, turned to look at Su Jinyi again, and the two sisters Su Jinqi said, "This is Jinyi, Jinqi, my eldest aunt can't recognize you two."
Mrs. Gu has never seen Su Jinqi very much, let alone recognize her. She said this now just a polite way.
Su Jinyi stepped forward, "Niece Jinyi greeted her eldest aunt."
"Yi'er, get up quickly." Without saying a few words, Mrs. Gu changed her mouth and called Su Jinyi affectionately. In fact, it was because Su Jinyi had a lot of filial piety to Mrs. Gu over the years. During festivals, she would definitely give Mrs. Gu a large sum of silver. Mrs. Gu had the money to take, but she felt that Su Jinyi was respectful to her and listened to her very much. Naturally, she was more pleasing to Su Jinyi than to Su Jin.
"I've seen my eldest aunt." Su Jinqi was pulled by Lin for a moment before she stepped forward reluctantly.
"This is Qi'er, haha, it's true that the third brother and sister were like a beauty when they were young." Mrs. Gu praised hypocritically.
When Su Jinqi saw Mrs. Gu praising her, she couldn't help but feel complacent and thought she was very smart. She thought that her eldest aunt had just been chanting scriptures and could not be interrupted. Therefore, she had a better impression of Mrs. Gu.
The Gu family has been an official for generations and has a rich family. It is not comparable to a merchant family like the Su family. Lin sighed while walking. Su Jinqi often ran to the Yue Palace, and the Yue Palace was naturally more generous than the Gu family, so she didn't think anything about it. But Su Jinyi was different. She lived in the Su family since she was a child and always thought that the Su family was the best. Later, when she entered the palace and saw the majestic momentum in the palace, she knew that the Su family in her eyes was really small, but the deep palace courtyard was not something she could covet. However, the wealthy Gu family really existed, and she was almost within reach, as long as she became a woman who protects the country.
I really have never seen the world. Mrs. Gu saw Lin and Su Jinyi's envy of Gu's house and said, "What are these? The Mansion of the Duke of the Gu family where Yu'er lives is so grand. I heard that in the previous dynasty, it was the residence of a prince. After the emperor rewarded it to Yu'er, Yu'er had someone repair it again and expanded the residence."
When Lin heard this, he became even more resentful to Su Jinxin's daughter. He lived so well, but he didn't care about his life or death. Such a daughter had given birth to her in vain back then.
