Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 257: I underestimated her (two updates in one)

Observe?Each martial arts sect has its own method and mentality. How can anyone who is not a disciple of the sect be allowed to observe?Mrs. Lin made such a strange request because she thought she had a handle on the siblings. Seeing that the old man Banshan had been living in Meizhuang for a long time and seemed to dote on Minghui, a disciple, she deliberately tricked them into going there. Just ask the old man from the middle of the mountain.

Zhiruo was speechless on the spot. This very shrewd woman wouldn't suddenly have a sudden brain attack due to excessive maternal love, thinking that the old man in Banshan was short of money or worried about being homeless, so she wanted to live in Meizhuang, right?So after she took control of their siblings, there was nothing the old man could do about it?

Mrs. Lin had learned a lesson from the embarrassment of her last failed attempt to pry away Aunt You. She refused to talk to the old man at Banshan anymore, and only said to please Zhiruo and Minghui.Unfortunately, she was unlucky. Minghui, who Lin Jun went to find in person, brought the old man from Banshan with him.From the moment he came in to the moment he pulled Minghui away, Old Man Banshan had a dark face. He didn't even look at Mrs. Lin. He just said a few words to Zhiruo with an unsullied expression: When he was teaching, he didn't like having outsiders around. , don’t like to be disturbed, and don’t care who the guests are.The next time someone breaks in, he will treat them as a thief trying to spy on his Banshanmen martial arts and throw them out.

The old man Banshan is undoubtedly a handsome uncle, but it is a pity that no matter how handsome he is, he has a dark face and speaks in a harsh and cold manner, which makes people shy away. Zhiruo glanced over from the corner of his eye and clearly saw Lin Jun couldn't help but Shivering.

Sure enough, as soon as the Banshan old man left, Lin Jun couldn't help sobbing anymore: "Mom, I won't learn martial arts from him anymore. Let's leave quickly and never come back again." Although the name of the Banshan old man's disciple is very nice, there are Having two people like Shi Xin and Qi Haotian as senior brothers gave him a lot of bragging rights and support, but life was more important, and he didn't want to face such cruel people every day.

Mrs. Lin was scared and angry, and felt sorry for her son who was so scared that he almost wet his pants. She hurried away with Lin Jun with a complicated expression.

Although Zhiruo was very sure that Old Banshan could not accept the so-called auditorship, she was still shocked by his sudden outburst. Since they met, all the old Banshan people she had seen were the rogue and lovely half-old wine master. Could it be that Lin Jun himself went to talk about the audit?Just disturbing Minghui's martial arts practice wouldn't be so serious, right?However, she had already told Mrs. Lin about the rules of the Banshan Old Man in advance, but Lin Jun said that he would not disturb Minghui's martial arts practice and would wait at the foot of the back mountain.

It wasn't until Minghui finished practicing martial arts that Zhiruo realized that Lin Jun was not waiting at the foot of the mountain at all. He went directly to the place where they were practicing martial arts and said that his mother had something to do with Minghui. After a while, he scolded Shi Xiaofeng and emphasized that his father was the prefect. He was kind to the Yin family, imitating Minghui's movements and gestures, and proudly asked the old man Banshan if he was more talented in martial arts than Minghui, without even looking at the old man Banshan's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.Finally, the old man broke out...

Zhiruo could only think of one sentence at that time: A loving mother often loses her son. Mr. Lin should not be able to teach such a stupid son, who is so stupid and so public!It’s just like Da Ying’s version of “My father is Li Gang”.

As Zhiruo expected, Magistrate Lin personally came to apologize to the old man Banshan very early in the morning the next day. Considering that Magistrate Lin was really good to Meizhuang, the old man Banshan showed his face at least, but he was concealed throughout the whole process. His face and few words were not pleasant.Just like that, Uncle Qiang said that it was all about saving face, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Master Lin left?Not everyone is willing to meet the old man in Banshan. When the emperor summons him, he receives him like an old friend. How can he still be afraid of becoming a minister?
If we talk about the incident last time when Concubine Zhao of Prince Rui's Mansion coveted some snacks, Magistrate Lin might have deliberately manipulated Mrs. Lin, but Zhiruo believed that he must not have known about the incident beforehand.Without it, these people in the officialdom know best about the beauty, gain and loss of interests, and how easy it is to bully their orphans. But the old man in the middle of the mountain is not someone he dares to calculate and can calculate.

So, only half a month later, Mrs. Lin is making a comeback again today. Does Mr. Lin know?Zhiruo remembered very clearly that that day the old man from Banshan asked coolly: "Mr. Lin is a good official. Ruo girls are also grateful. I am right, right?" At that time, Zhiruo Lin's face was red and he was embarrassed. Di Zhi nodded: "Of course."

Zhiruo felt so happy when she thought about it, but the old man in Banshan had no scruples about what she said. Who could know better than himself the benefits that Magistrate Lin would get from taking care of Meizhuang?

But, does Mrs. Lin also know?Or do you really think they are fools?
No matter what, she still had to meet. Of course, it meant that she had to go downstairs to receive Mrs. Lin.

When Zhiruo walked into the reception hall, Mrs. Lin and her daughter were enjoying the freshly baked pastries and milk tea in a relaxed manner, with smiles on their faces.Zhiruo couldn't help but think that Mrs. Lin always came to Meizhuang. Is there a reason why she enjoyed free snacks?They can still walk around after eating, so they are used to it.

Zhiruo really didn't care about the refreshments, as they were expensive, but in their Plum Village, even the lowest-ranking servants could eat them three or four times a month.

What she cares about is that some people are really unfamiliar!

"Ruo girl is here," Mrs. Lin said with a familiar look, "This honey bean cake is really good. I will ask someone to pack a few more pieces for me later. Rong'er and Jun'er both like food made from red beans."

Zhiruo smiled and said: "If you like, just pack a few more pieces. In this climate, it's okay to store them for two or three days. However, it tastes best when eaten fresh. The taste will be worse the second day." Pastries that order dim sum are easy to sell, basically They are all sold on the same day and sold out on the same day. Occasionally, there are a few leftovers that are sold at half price until two quarters of an hour before the store closes. They are usually snatched up by people waiting to buy half-price snacks at one o'clock.Of course, a person who is good-looking and not short of money will avoid the point-to-point dim sum shop, for fear that people will think that he goes there for half the price.

Lin Rong's face couldn't help but feel hot. She invited the two handkerchiefs to come to the house tomorrow. Thinking of using this honey bean cake as a treat, she asked her mother to ask for a few more pieces, otherwise Lin Jun would eat them all by herself. How could it be left until tomorrow?

But now, Zhiruo Mingming readily and enthusiastically agreed, why did she feel so uncomfortable?Mrs. Lin didn't think much about it. She took a handkerchief to seal the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "I've been a little busy lately. I finally found some time today. I heard that Miss Pan Wu lives here, so I came over to take a look. The little girl should be the third one." Leaving the capital at once, right? I don’t know if she’s used to it? Ronger and I brought her some exquisite gadgets, hoping to alleviate some of her discomfort."

I was so busy until the day before yesterday that Lin Rong's marriage was basically settled. Although she failed to get into the British government, she was still satisfied.Of course, if Lin Rong can make good friends with Princess Chunxi through Pan Shuling, and then fall in the eyes of the British duchess, or even the Queen, then will she have someone to rely on after marrying into the capital?Maybe she can also help her father and help her father get promoted step by step.

Zhiruo frowned in embarrassment: "This..., Aunt Lin, although Miss Pan Wu is young, she is an honored guest. When Prince Pan sent her here, he said that it was to prevent outsiders from disturbing the little girl, and he also gave a lot of instructions Rules. Look, if you... really want to meet, how about I ask someone to inform you and see..."

Lin Rong curled her lips: "What does she, a child, know? If she doesn't want to come, we can just go to the Star Observation Courtyard. Sister Ruo, you are too rigid. Prince Pan doesn't like messy people disturbing Miss Pan Wu. But you know our identities and are very familiar with us, so what are you worried about? If sister Xuan'er hadn't been about the same age as Miss Pan Wu, Prince Pan might have let Miss Pan live in the prefect's mansion."

Zhiruo seemed to think about it seriously, but still hesitated and said: "Isn't it good? Miss Pan Wu is a distinguished guest, not a relative of our Yin family. I am not qualified to make decisions for her. Aunt Lin, Sister Rong, Miss Pan Wu Although she is a child, she has a nanny Ling given to her by the empress. I heard she is a nun for education, a nun for administration, and a fifth-grade palace nun with high standards."

Now that the words have come to this, what can Mrs. Lin and her daughter do besides nodding?Zhiruo's words made sense. They really couldn't force it, and they didn't dare to force themselves to go directly to the Star Observation House, otherwise they would have gone there long ago.Isn't it just a precaution to wait until Zhiruo comes to take them there, so that Zhiruo can take responsibility?Pan Shizi entrusted his sister to Meizhuang, knowing that if he took someone to the courtyard where she lived without permission, wouldn't it be hers?
And they came to visit the little girl with good intentions. How did they know what Prince Pan had to say and whether Miss Pan Wu was willing?If Prince Pan, the British Duke, or even the Queen really care that much, it would be hard to attack them, right?

It's a pity that their plan was good, but people knew it but refused to cooperate.Lin Rong secretly gritted her teeth: No wonder the Qingyuan Hou Mansion demoted his wife to a concubine. She is so cautious and hesitant and rigid. How can she be the mistress of the family director or the mistress of the Hou Mansion?No matter how miserable the Qingyuan Hou Mansion is, it is still a Hou Mansion, right?

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhiruo. Inexplicably, she just felt that Yin Zhiruo didn't seem to be as considerate and understanding as before.What was discovered?Or should you focus on clinging to Prince Jing’s Mansion and look down on their Prefect’s Mansion?Or maybe he heard about the recent trend in the capital and knew that Yin Zhao's crime of treason was basically unconfirmable, and that the emperor was talking about Yin Zhao and his wife more and more often?
Suddenly, Mrs. Lin's ears heard Mama You's words of "be kind" and "repay the favor", as well as the sarcastic words of the old man from Banshan that the master brought back angrily not long ago, and she became increasingly unhappy. Yin Zhiruo had to survive this. After overcoming the difficulties, have you started to burn bridges?

Mrs. Lin is thinking a lot here. Over there, Ruchun has returned and brought a maid from the British government. The maid gave her a blessing: "Mrs. Lin is well! Thank you Mrs. Lin for caring about our girl. Grandma Ling Grandma said that we girls and Miss Yin San are listening to our husband tell allusions, so it is not convenient for us to go out to meet guests. Moreover, before leaving the capital, our old lady told us that the girls are young and not suitable for meeting guests alone. Please forgive me, Mrs. Lin!"

"Of course, of course," Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "I didn't think about it. I didn't know that Miss Pan was in class. Please say hello to Grandma Ling for me. As long as Miss Pan adapts to life here, my husband and I will I'm relieved." He said and winked at Cui's mother, who quickly smiled and stuffed a delicate red purse into the maid's hand.

After the maid walked out of the door for a while, Lin Rong curled her lips and said: "Miss Pan Wu is very easy-going. The husband arranged for her by the Queen is certainly extraordinary. She can actually condescend to listen to Mr. Chen's lectures with sister Xuan'er?" She felt worried in her heart. How can you be so angry if you don't prick Yin Zhiruo and Yin Zhixuan?But she forgot that she herself was taught by Madam Chen. She has been studying with Madam Chen for many years since her enlightenment.

Zhiruo secretly sighed. After all, he was a bit young. Such a little dissatisfaction would throw him into disarray. If he married into the Yu family, wouldn't he be played to death by his sister-in-law?Well, that's not something she should worry about. No matter what, she is better than the idiot and coward she was in her previous life.

"That's right," Zhiruo agreed nonchalantly, "the two little girls fell in love and have only known each other for a few days. They already want to be together every day. When they are in a good mood, they will be happy in whatever they do. But Mr. Chen is indeed He is such a good gentleman, even Grandma Ling is full of praise for him."

Lin Rong choked, something suddenly occurred to her, and she was secretly annoyed. This Yin Zhiruo was becoming more and more unpleasant. He was so sharp-tongued and what he said made people uncomfortable, but he couldn't find anything wrong with her.

Mrs. Lin's eyes became more and more complicated. Did she overlook something?She had underestimated Yin Zhiruo before.

Also, divorce, risking returning to the capital to pick up younger siblings, setting up a female household, a home for soldiers, some snacks, as well as Grandma You, Old Man Banshan, and even the relationship with their prefect... This girl who doesn't look like a real person is really Not simple!She quietly managed all aspects with ease. Although she didn't think that Yin Zhiruo was as naive and ignorant as the rumors said, she still... underestimated her.Perhaps this child was too gentle and considerate in front of her, and generous, whether it was in terms of money or property, or... in a big way, such as his achievements in wiping out bandits in Mengniu Village and discovering the scourge of the Seven Fragrant Butterflies. Great kindness.

Mrs. Lin has always known that Magistrate Lin's care for Yin Zhiruo and Meizhuang brought greater benefits and unprecedented smoothness. It can be said that the protection they gave Yin Zhiruo and the benefits Yin Zhiruo brought to them were little. The asymmetry is not that they pay more, but that they receive much more than they pay.That day, Magistrate Lin came back from Meizhuang, scolded her severely, and carefully warned her not to go too far. If Yin Zhifu was not stupid, the people around her were smarter, and there were strong supports from the capital, the army, and the border. Woolen cloth.

However, she was careless after all. While she looked down on Yin Zhiruo, she didn't know if the girl in front of her who always looked gentle and generous was secretly mocking her?
