Chapter 35

Not much charcoal?

However, there is insufficient charcoal in the middle of the month. It's not someone who has deducted it. What else can I do!

The old lady's face was gloomy. Lin Qingqian timely said, "Qingqian really felt that the brazier was too hot and the room would be stuffy. Only then did she let less charcoal be put in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Grandma, don't blame them?"

The old lady lowered her eyes and touched Lin Qingqian's head painfully.

This silly child, at this time, doesn't want to complain to her, but needs to protect the two servant girls first. It can be seen that he is really kind-hearted.

"Well, grandma, for the sake of simplicity, just don't punish them."

Lin Qingqian's eyes brightened and showed a sweet smile. "Thank you, grandma. Grandma really loves Qingqian."

Spring, summer, autumn and winter quickly kowtowed their heads and said in the same voice, "thank you, old lady, for your forgiveness."

Mammy Zhang said, "get up and try your best to serve the third lady in the future."

"Yes, I'll do my best to serve the young lady."

Wait for spring, summer, autumn and winter to step aside.

The old lady snapped and said, "mammy Zhang, go and tell the housekeeper how much charcoal in the fence garden is regularly distributed, and double it in the future. Check by the way, which servant with unclean hands and feet dares to buckle from it, and will be severely punished after finding out!"

"Don't worry, old lady. I'll go to find housekeeper Fu now."

The old lady waved her hand and motioned to mammy Zhang to go to work.

The old lady chatted with Lin Qingqian for half a column of incense. Seeing that she was tired, she told her to take care of her illness and leave with a group of servants.

As soon as the old lady left her front foot, she said nervously in autumn and winter: "Miss, our charcoal has been given to childe Gu. If mammy Zhang finds out that there is no one to buckle, how can she explain to the old lady?"

Lin Qingqian handed Qiudong a look of peace and impatience.

"There are a lot of snobbish servants. Do you think it's possible that no one will deduct things from Liuyuan when issuing an example at the beginning of the month? At most, it's not obvious."

When autumn and winter thought about it, the young lady had not changed at that time. The old lady didn't like it. The lady was not indifferent to it. Indeed, many servants secretly bullied Liu Yuan. Just because it wasn't too much, these things always went away.

Lin Qingqian raised his mouth slightly and said, "now I'm not afraid. There must be enough charcoal in our yard. I'm afraid it won't be used up. Let spring and summer have time to send some to brother Changgeng. Remember to be careful not to let others see."

"I know."

Lin Qingqian yawned and was really tired.

"You go down and I'll squint a little longer."

In autumn and winter, tuck in the bedding for Lin Qingqian and exit with light hands and feet.

Close the door and stand in front of the door with a complex look in autumn and winter.

Is this really the same person as the old lady? Why does it make her feel different.

……

Jinglan garden.

When mammy Zhang came back, the old lady asked, "how's the investigation?"

"Back to the old lady, there are indeed cases where servants deduct three young ladies, from the items distributed every month to the case silver, but it's not too much, so it's always ignored."

The old lady was furious and patted the table heavily, "OK! These slaves are really bold. The master's things are deducted and sold to me. We prime minister's house can't tolerate such evil slaves!"

"I understand. I'll do what the old lady wants."

"Wait."

As mammy Zhang was about to leave, the old lady suddenly stopped her, turned around and asked, "does the old lady have anything else to tell the maidservant?"

"Pick some nice fabrics and other objects to send to Qingqian. The child has been wronged in the past two years since Wang's absence“

Mother Zhang was surprised. She was an old man beside the old lady. Except for the second young master, she had never seen the old lady so interested in any younger generation. The third young lady was afraid to be spoiled in the future.

"Don't worry, old lady. The maidservant will choose carefully."

This time, the old lady's reward startled the whole prime minister's house.

More than ten servant girls came into the fence garden with gifts. How can they not be stunned.

Is this the least favored concubine in the prime minister's house?

Chunxia looked unbelievably at the objects on the table.

"Miss, look at this cloth. It's superior silk and satin. There's also this jewelry. It's exquisite. It's not ordinary at first sight. There's also this..."

Compared with the surprised spring and summer, Lin Qingqian smiled and said, "OK, you've almost said the time for a cup of tea. You're not thirsty. I'm thirsty for you. Sit down and have a cup of tea and have a rest."

"The young lady didn't say it was OK. When she said that the maid was really thirsty."

Autumn and winter glanced, Gulu poured a cup of tea, and Chunxia reluctantly said, "Chunxia, when can you make a fuss about your problems? Don't embarrass the young lady when you go out in the future."

Spring and summer touched their heads and smiled, "I dare to do this in front of the young lady. I will not dare to be so unruly outside."

"If only you knew."

The person in the topic has been distracted, staring at a pile of items on the table and muttering, "I have to see. Pick some pieces that brother Changgeng can use and send them to him..."

Spring, summer, autumn and winter showed the same speechless expression.

Miss, don't you think you are too attentive to Mr. Gu? OK, always think of him for the first time.

……

Youlan garden.

Lily told Xu Shi about Liu Yuan. Xu Shi hung his eyes and devoted himself to needling and embroidery on the embroidery rack. After a long time, he said faintly, "I know. Prepare something and order someone to send it to Liu Yuan to miss three."

Lily didn't dare to ask more. She answered "yes." Step back slowly.

At this time, Lin Qingwu, who was practicing calligraphy, put down his pen, frowned and said, "Mom, Lin Qingqian is really strange recently. Are you serious..."

"Continue to practice calligraphy." Xu raised his eyelids and interrupted Lin Qingwu.

Lin Qingwu was puzzled and shouted with a trace of displeasure, "Mom, why don't you worry at all?"

"It's just a concubine. I'm sure she can't make any waves. Even if she is loved by the old lady, she can find a better marriage at most in the future."

Xu put down the embroidery rack, looked up, looked beautiful, and said calmly: "I forgot what my mother told you. A woman should have tolerance. Now you can't even bear a common woman in the house. How can you become the queen of the mother's world in the future!"

Lin Qingwu was startled by Xu's Frank words, "Mom, this..."

"Mom, once again, what you should do now is to learn your manners, play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and become a gentle woman from the dust, okay?"

Lin Qingwu was unwilling, but seeing Xu's faint warm anger, he had to answer: "yes, my daughter understands."

Xu sent things to Liuyuan for the mother of the prime minister's house. Naturally, the other concubines also had to send them, including the biological mother of the fourth young lady and the third lady Wen.

For a moment, everyone in the house sighed secretly. If things were changing, who would have thought that the three young ladies who were not favored in the past would be in a very different situation in just a few days.

……

Ming garden.

Lin Qingrou listens to the servant girl Xianglan's report. Her eyes are overcast and she bites her teeth. Her jealousy makes her childish face a little distorted.

"Hum, I really underestimated my three sisters before. It's a good way to let my grandmother spoil her so much in a few days!"

Wait and see, she's not a vegetarian!
