Chapter 23: house door grievance 1
After Lin You learned about her identity, she had some calculations in her heart, and asked the old woman again:
"Are there any special rules at my uncle's grandfather's house? I'm always a little uneasy when I go to defect now."
Thanks to the palace fighting dramas that have swept the country in the past few years, Lin You just watched a few episodes with her mother when she went home, and now she has said these few words of Wen Zou Zou.
"Didn't all the servants tell the lady along the way? You..."
"Oh, isn't this coming soon? My heart is always up and down, I..."
Lin You pursed the corners of her mouth and showed an embarrassed smile. It hurt a lot to tell the old woman to put her in her arms again. Afterwards, she also carefully explained the rules of her "uncle-grandfather" family again.
After confirming it repeatedly, Lin You carefully wrote it down. This woman is one of her grandmother's dowries, the youngest daughter of her grandmother's nanny, and she knows a lot, but she left Xu's residence early, and no matter how careful she is.
Oh, by the way, the Xu residence is her grandmother's natal family, and it is estimated that this is also the stage for the grievances of the dungeon.
"That's all the servants know. Don't be too nervous, girl. Even though you're going to join them, it's not good to be too petty." The old woman looked at Lin You's frown and reassured her.
"By the way, the girl should also pay attention to the people in the two carriages in front." The old woman said as if she suddenly thought of something.
"The first are the two young ladies and young masters of the Bai family. If the girls have the opportunity, it is best to have a good relationship with them." The old lady instructed, "As for the second carriage, it is the stewards of the Xu residence, the seven in front of the prime minister's door. Pinguan, although it is a servant, but in our situation, girl, it is not easy to fight with them, so don't take it to heart."
Lin You recalled the direction in which the players got into the car when they just hit the road. The young masters and young ladies of the Bai family on the first carriage in front were the three newcomers. On the second carriage was the old player Fang Nian.
"What about the back?" Lin You pretended to be innocent.
"The others are all low-class people." The old woman did not want to talk about "a group of dart guards, and the servants brought by the manager of the Xu residence, by the way..."
The old woman seems to remember something
"Behind us is the young master of the Chen family." The old woman frowned, "It's the same as us."
The last half of the sentence was very soft, Lin You probably understood the identities of several players, but there was one more thing she needed to remind this old woman.
"There was an accident in the carriage just now. When we got off the carriage, the young master of the Chen family... woo" Lin You covered her mouth and lowered her head, looking like she was wronged.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with this?" The old woman immediately became anxious. "Hey, my lady, did that **** thing bully you?"
"That's not true. It's just that the Chen family's eyes looked at me very obscene, and... what if we went to my uncle's grandfather's house together, and we couldn't look up and looked down?" Lin You thinks, it is an internal and external trouble now. She alone is invincible with two fists and four hands. This old woman looks loyal and loyal. If she can help her pay attention to Chen Cong, she can relax a little. As for the ghosts, she should do it herself.
"The Chen family is just a broken house now." Sure enough, the old woman's face sank when she heard Lin You's words, "Although the eldest girl of the Chen family is married to the second master of the Xu family, the second lady is a direct daughter. This is a bastard, not to mention…”
"What's wrong?" Lin You immediately asked.
"The eldest madam is still here, and the Xu family will still belong to the big house in the future." The old lady patted Lin You's head, "No, I heard that the old madam is gone, didn't the Bai family send someone here?"
Oh huh?
Lin You opened her eyes wide, what does this eldest lady have to do with the old lady?
Soon, Lin You knew. It turns out that the Xu family has always been married to the Bai family. The old lady, the eldest lady, and even Lin You's grandmother's mother were all from the Bai family.
Lin You immediately felt that something was wrong, but no matter how much, this old woman really didn't know. Even so, Lin You was very satisfied. She just took a novice tutorial and got so much information after trying it out. It was a surprise.
Soon, the Xu residence will arrive. This smoky carriage stopped at the entrance of this ancient mansion, so that the servants of the Xu residence hurried back to report.
After getting off the carriage, Lin You suddenly felt depressed. This is what this mansion brought her.

And... not right. Lin You was supported by the old woman and looked around again.
Didn't you say the old lady of the house went? Why can't it be a little white? Even Lin You didn't say anything when he saw the servant who just went in to report.
Before Lin You could think about it, the door soon opened, and a well-dressed servant came out, with a bunch of maids and old ladies. This one should be a butler.
"I'm really sorry, the main house is inconvenient to go out now, so I'm neglecting everyone,"
The housekeeper apologized to the three newcomers, and then let the three newcomers welcome them in. The three people subconsciously glanced back at Fang Nian, Fang Nian nodded slightly, and the three newcomers breathed a sigh of relief and followed. The man who led the way left.
Afterwards, Lin You and Chen Cong also entered the Xu family's door after greeting. It seems that Fang Nian did not go with them because he was the manager of the Xu family. Lin You doesn't know about the players at the back, but it's probably not the same as them. After all, their characters are subordinates.
It was not a waste of time on the way that Lin You had mentioned to Mrs. Lin before. She and Chen Cong were separated by the wife very skillfully, and went to Xu's house to stay in the living room one after the other.
Moreover, as if to give her own girl a sigh of relief, the old woman deliberately walked in front of Chen Cong, and pressed Chen Cong everywhere along the way.
Naturally Chen Cong didn't understand the woman's careful thinking, but only felt that Lin You was deliberately making things difficult for him. But now that the situation is unknown, he can only endure it.
In the living room, Lin You's uncle and grandfather sat on the main seat, while there were only three middle-aged women, a middle-aged man, and a few juniors below.
At this time, a middle-aged woman took the hands of the two newcomers and greeted them eagerly, and another newcomer, the young master of the Bai family, had already taken their seats.
Lin You was actually a little unfortunate. No matter what happened to Chen Cong, there was also a relative of the second lady present. After greeting the old lady of the Xu family, she was pulled away by the second lady, and Lin You...
It was really three thousand miles away, and it was embarrassing to stand in the middle of the hall.
The grandfather Xu in the main seat looked at Lin You for a while with cloudy eyes, nodded, and said:
"You are very similar to your grandmother, don't worry, if you need to go to your aunt."
Lin You just nodded embarrassedly, the relatives of the Lin family were simple and had never seen this battle.
"Your eldest cousin is not in good health today, and your aunt has gone to take care of him. The second cousin will come back after a few days of dealing with things outside. That's your second aunt..."
After some staff introduction, Lin You was still dizzy. Why are relatives so complicated? ? ?
But the thing that made Lin You the most unpleasant was that in this living room, why was no one wearing a linen and filial piety? ? ? And the aunt of the Xu family who kept talking with the three newcomers, her aunt, let alone something quiet, dressed in red and green, as if today was a New Year's Day. .
Although the eldest lady of the Xu family was not around, because the people who were going to visit and defected had all sent letters early, Lin You and the others had already arranged their accommodation. There was also a little mishap.
The three newcomers, the man needless to say, after all, foreign men are naturally separated from each other. There was a pair of twins in the big room, and he lived with the young master of the big room. The two newlywed girls are supposed to live with the eldest young lady in the twins. Unfortunately, the eldest lady lives with her mother, which is inconvenient, so she lives with the aunt of the Xu family.
The aunt lived in the main room, and the two of them lived in the east and west rooms. But he was rejected by the two girls, saying that the sisters were deeply in love and had to live together. Therefore, both of them lived in the east wing.
And Lin You, the cousin, was actually assigned to the yard on the other side of the guest room. When the extra room came out, the aunt asked if she wanted to come together, but Lin You immediately refused. If she is willing to go to the big room, she is willing to go to the big aunt. She thinks this aunt Xu is very evil. Don't have a halo to take care of the two newcomers, but she went in. .
As for Chen Cong, he was a guest of the second room, so he naturally stayed with the second room. There was also a young master in the second room, and they went together.
When leaving, Lin You noticed that there was only one eldest young master in the womb of a dragon and a phoenix, and the others were not there. Except for the second master who went out to deal with affairs, the second room was here. The third room was a concubine, but it was very complete. It looked useless and timid, and the clothes were very simple.
Everyone else had their master to lead the way, but Lin You didn't. Mrs. Lin was a little angry about this, but Lin You only felt relieved. When she arrived at the yard where she was going to live, Lin You looked at Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin took out her purse with a sullen face. Lin You stuffed it to the maid of the Xu family who led the way, and asked:
"I'll have to take care of you in the future."
The servant girl gave in, but still accepted the purse, and said with a smile:
"Biao girl's manners and manners are all very good, and she looks graceful and generous..."
"Thank you for your praise. I came to my uncle's grandfather's house for the first time today. I don't know how to deal with it. I wonder if my mother can give me some advice."
This servant girl didn't know that Lin You was so direct, she just gave the benefit and was about to give advice, she was stunned, then touched the purse in the sleeve cage, nodded and said:
"Tell me girl."
"I didn't know that my aunt is also in your house today, so I prepared a gift... I don't know what my aunt likes, so I can make up for it."
Hearing Lin You's words, the servant girl breathed a sigh of relief and brought out a bit of a smile. This girl Lin's worry is also justified. They all know the temper of the aunt, so it is not difficult. After giving Lin You an idea, the maid struggled for a while. Seeing that the other servants were helping to carry things and clean the room, she quietly pulled Lin You aside and spoke;
"The girl's etiquette has been correct for several weeks. It's the aunt's behavior. Don't learn to follow. The old man is considerate of the aunt's unkindness, and He Li went home, but the girl's side is inconvenient."
After speaking as if afraid of something, he said hello and quickly left Lin You's yard.
When Mrs. Lin saw that the servant girl had left, she immediately followed and asked Lin You:
"What does Miss spend that money to send her? It's better to be frugal. In the future, Miss's dowry will be richer, and her waist will be much straighter in her husband's house."
Lin You secretly said that she still had her dowry, and it was hard to say how many days she could live. But he still came to Xufu for the first time. It is necessary to confuse the past with human exchanges. If you can get information every time you give money, Lin You would really like it.
You said that in this day and age, it is really interesting that a woman who goes home with Li is more generous in the lobby than the second lady of the family. The old lady had just gone, but she was wearing red and green and no one could control her. Could it be because the old lady loves her? Lin You didn't think so.
