Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

On the second day after receiving Feng Yuan's message, Wen Jiao first met Lin An, the second housekeeper.It has been eight or nine months since September last year, Lin You, Lin Ming, uncle and nephew, how are they learning, and whether they can go to the shop and Zhuangzi as directors alone.

The two general managers of Lin's mansion, Lin Ping, the chief steward, is now in charge of a group of carriages and horses traveling, and manpower arrangements for gift giving and so on.The second housekeeper, Lin An, was in charge of the counting room in the front yard, as well as the business of each shop.

Therefore, when they first went to Beijing, it was Lin Ping and Nanny Xu who went to Beijing first to make arrangements.Lin An, the second butler, accompanied him and inspected Zhuangzi's shop along the way.Lin You, Lin Ming's uncle and nephew are also assigned to Lin An for their business affairs.

Now Lin An's eldest daughter is working as a second-class girl in Wenjiao's courtyard. Her name is Han Lu. She is only 14 years old this year.

Wen Jiao looked at Han Lu coldly, but she had her own ideas.On weekdays, he only learns from Bai Lu and waits a few days later, and the tasks assigned to her are done quickly and well.She didn't just rely on being the housekeeper's daughter to stand out.

Among the four second-class girls, two of Xiaomanguyu had no foundation and were bought from outside.Because he is one or two years older, he is more face-to-face in front of Wen Jiao.

From a daughter looking up to her father, one knows that Lin An is also a good subordinate with a sincere heart and a reassuring work.

The employer was not suspicious, and since he knew Lin An's character, Wen Jiao believed [-]% of Lin An's evaluation.The remaining [-]% also takes into account how everyone sees things differently.

Lin An carefully sat down on the chair in the hall, and replied through the screen: "Returning to Madam, the two masters are relatively smart in business, and they are quick to learn. If they are released now to be a There should be no problem with the accountant."

"However, for those who come and go to the north and south to talk about business, they always have to walk around once or twice before they know whether it is suitable for business or to manage things at home."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Understood. I don't know what do you think of the two of them's character?"

Lin An thought carefully for a while before replying: "Although Second Master You is younger, his temperament is more stable. Second Master Ming still has a youthful spirit."

After hearing this, Wen Jiao thought to himself that Lin You and Lin Ming were both second sons.But Lin You has an elder brother above and a younger brother below, the second child is not as comfortable as the youngest Lin Ming.

If Lin You was unsteady and thoughtless, Lin You wouldn't be able to have the bright future as Huang's mother.

They asked Lin An to be sent out, and Wen Jiao called Lin You and Lin Ming to test him out in person, but they answered calmly.

Wen Jiao nodded and said: "It seems that you have all made progress. Just now I have something to tell you, listen to it."

Because Lin You and Lin Ming were his own family, Wen Jiao didn't see them through a screen or anything.This happened to be convenient for Wen Jiao to observe the two of them in detail.

Wen Jiao saw that Lin You, Lin Ming's uncle and nephew heard that they had something to entrust to them, they both sat up straighter, and continued, "There is a son of a squire in Jinling, named Feng Yuan. Because I went to Sui Street to save his life, Now he came to join our Lin family, saying that he wanted to learn some things about housekeeper business."

"The two of you have also studied with the housekeeper for eight or nine months. It should not be difficult to bring up a son of a squire. Which of you has the confidence to do this well?"

After Wen Jiao finished speaking, he looked at the faces of the two of them.Lin You calmed down slightly, and began to think seriously.When Lin Ming heard that he was only leading people, his eyes dimmed for a moment.

Sure enough, after a while, Lin You got up and cupped his hands and said, "Sister-in-law Hai, I'm willing to take him with you. It's just that I want to see what kind of person Mr. Feng is, I don't know..."

Wen Jiao smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry about it. If you are his master, before accepting apprentices, you must let you see how the apprentices are."

"Tomorrow afternoon, he will come to pay a visit, so you should come too and test him yourself."

Seeing that Lin You bowed in response, Wen Jiao encouraged him a few more words and let them go out.

Although they are members of the same clan, Lin Hai and them have been out of Wufu for a long time, so they are not close relatives.Since you want to learn a craft, you have to help with some work.

It seems that with Lin Ming's temperament, he doesn't care about bringing people, but only wants to go out to do business, so he will have to grind for another two years.If he can't grind it out, he can be a small steward at home for a few years, and it won't be considered wronged him.

If Lin You can bring Feng Yuan out, the two of them will help each other for a few years, and Wen Jiao himself can rest assured that part of the shop will be handed over to Lin You for management.

In a few years, when the time comes, I will invest some money in Lin You and Feng Yuan, and they will go out and do it alone.How much is good, just wait and count the money.

The next day when Feng Yuan came, Wen Jiao saw that he looked more stable than last year, and most of the impetuousness that was characteristic of unlearned and inexperienced sons and brothers was gone, so he nodded in his heart.

Lin You tested Feng Yuan for half a day, and felt that Feng Yuan had a good attitude and ability, so he could give it a try.

Wen Jiao directly explained to Feng Yuan that if he wanted to help him, he had to sign a five-year contract with Lin Fu and work for Lin Fu for five years.

When he has learned it, I will give him money.There is no need for seven or three cents of the money earned, fifty or five is enough.

Feng Yuan kowtowed and agreed after reading the "Deed of Sale".It made Wen Jiao look at him again.

Wen Jiao did not arrange for Feng Yuan to live in Lin's residence, but directly arranged for Lin An to give them a shop, let Lin You be the second shopkeeper, and Feng Yuan be an apprentice.

The two of them packed up their things and moved to the shop that day.Lin Mingwenjiao didn't let him idle either. Since he has high eyesight but low abilities, he should first help Nanny Chen, take care of a tube of firewood and charcoal lamps, and let Nanny Chen grind his temper for him.

Lin Ming regretted it very much.Who would have thought that bringing a down-and-out son who didn't know where he came from would be directly assigned to the shop as a manager?

But there is no regret in the world to take medicine.Lin Ming had no choice but to pack up and report to Nanny Chen.

Wen Jiao never mentioned Feng Yuan's coming to Beijing to Yinglian.I haven't decided who to choose for Yinglian, and Yinglian is only 12 years old.

When Yinglian is fourteen or fifteen years old, let's see who is better, Lin Chang or Feng Yuan.Or whether there is a better man out there to match Yinglian, it is unknown.

On May [-]th, Zan Shan, a talented person, entered the palace again to be conferred, and from then on, they were all formal and high-ranking palace ladies.

In Huayang Palace, Jia Yuanchun hesitated for a long time, then sighed: "Forget it, don't go to invite Xue Zanshan just now, lest people gossip that it was because of me that Baochai was selected into the palace. Besides, there is also the suspicion of befriending female officials." , it’s not good.”

As a rule, for the position of female official in the noble concubine's palace, there should be one person who is in charge of the seventh-rank official affairs of the palace, one person who is in charge of the eighth-rank command, correction, and punishment, and four other official nine-rank female historians to assist in managing the palace. .

Last year, when Jia Yuanchun became a noble concubine, Empress Su specially asked her to go, and asked her if she had any favorite candidates for Shaoshi.If not, then pick one for her to use.

Yuan Chun thought over and over again, but still didn't want to be wronged and Baoqin.Moreover, Baoqin grew up with her, and was able to read and write, and stayed with her in the palace for the past few years, and their friendship was extraordinary.

She asked what Baoqin meant, and Baoqin was willing to never leave the palace to accompany Yuanchun.Yuan Chun went back to Queen Su Road, thinking it was good to hold the piano.

Empress Su ordered Liandong to take a test of Baoqin to see if she could bear the position of Shaoshi.Baoqin did not disappoint Yuanchun's trust, which made Liandong very satisfied.

Therefore, Baoqin is now the official seventh-rank Huayang Palace in charge of Shaoshi, and he can be regarded as under one person in Huayang Palace.

Seeing Yuan Chun frowning, she persuaded: "The empress is too worried. Even if the empress does not see Xue Zanshan, someone who is interested can find out that the empress and Xue Zanshan are aunts and sisters."

"Besides, this time the selection was made by the Empress herself. If anyone thinks so, wouldn't they be questioning the Empress?"

Seeing that Yuan Chun still hadn't opened his face, Baoqin persuaded him in a low voice: "The former imperial physician said that the empress has not had a child since she has been serving as a servant for two years, and it is because she is too worried."

"Don't think too much about these innocuous matters. Take good care of your body and get pregnant with a dragon fetus as soon as possible. That's the right thing to do."

Yuan Chun forced a smile and said, "You're right."

She thought again and again, Fang pointed to a plate of lychees on the table and said: "After all, Baochai and I are sisters, we must protect her."

"Go and give this plate of lychees to her yourself. Let her stay with the Princess well and stay at ease. I'll come talk to her another day."

According to the idea of ​​Baoqin, now the empress is already a noble concubine, favored and generous.Concubine Zhou doesn't find fault with her much anymore.What the empress lacks is the emptiness below her knees, no princes and daughters.

The imperial doctor just said to reassure the empress, the empress was thinking about a trivial matter, it is not good to hurt her body.

Baoqin saw Yuan Chun smiled, although he smiled reluctantly, his heart was still relaxed, so he responded with a smile: "Of order."

She wanted to lead Yuan Chun to think about it elsewhere, and said with a smile: "This lychee needs to be replaced with an agate plate to look better. Which plate is better for the empress?"

Yuan Chun knew that Baoqin was coaxing her, and he didn't want to disappoint her, so he followed Baoqin's words and picked out dishes for a while.Finally, a light blue silk-wrapped agate plate was picked, put lychees on it, and ordered to take the piano to Baochai.

In Lin's mansion, Wen Jiao and Lin Hai were also peeling lychees to eat.

The fresh lychees from Lingnan arrived yesterday, and the top ones were naturally offered to the palace first.The emperor personally took the best ones and sent them to the emperor, and then distributed half of them to the queen, and rewarded them to the ministers.

Lin Fu got several copies.One was a basket given to Lin Hai by the Emperor, one was given to Wen Jiao by the Empress, and the other was two baskets sent by the Su Mansion.

Looking at the two baskets plus two baskets of lychees, Wen Jiao couldn't laugh or cry, and felt that this was the trouble with too much grace.No matter how big their stomachs are, they can't finish eating so many lychees.This thing couldn't help being put away again, and it broke down in two days.

Now that the Su Mansion has already sent the lychees, Wen Jiao can't send them back again. Such a frivolous back-and-forth is not a family affair.

Distribute some to the neighbors, and Wen Jiao ordered the rest to pick out the big and red ones, keep a portion for himself, and send a few plates to Daiyu, and to Mrs. Ge Lu Qing, Feng's Yinglian, Yang Mr. Li and Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Wei each sent a plate.

The rest was rewarded to the family members, and Bailu Baishuang was ordered to count the number by himself.

Wen Jiao hid in the room by herself, waiting for Lin Hai to peel the lychees for her to eat.

She has been pregnant for more than seven months, and her arms, legs, and feet have begun to swell slightly, and she has difficulty moving.In everything except class, dodge as much as you can.

As soon as she saw the lychee, she thought of the taste and texture of the lychee, and her saliva started to flow out.If you bend over by yourself, you will feel uncomfortable.Don't bend over, lest the juice will get on the clothes and make it sticky.

Wen Jiao coquettishly said to Lin Hai: "Ru Hai, can you peel the lychees for me?"
