C199 (2/2)
Lin Jia's eyes started to tear up, she was on the verge of tears, ”How can this be? Didn't Grandmother already know how to speak? I thought my grandmother would be able to walk in a few months... ”
The Nanny Chen replied, ”I don't know what's going on either. Furthermore, the Imperial Physician said that the cause of her illness was due to excessive worry, so it's time for her to take a good rest. Since you know her personality, how would you be able to calm down? During this period of time, I was not worrying about the Third Miss's marriage, in other words, I was talking about the matters of the Fourth Miss, and that I had to take in a few concubines for the Fifth Master? ”
The Grand Madam had such a plan in mind, but Lin Jia was not surprised at all. The Grand Madam had a stubborn personality, even if she suffered a loss at Lin Shu's hands, he would at least pay it back several times.
She thought for a moment, then said: ”Originally, Fifth Uncle only had one Auntie Zhong by her side, but now that Auntie Zhong has gone, Fourth and Fifth Sister have already made a marriage, I'm afraid that in the future, there won't even be anyone by Fifth Uncle's side who can talk to me. Grandma Zhang's decision to give two aunties to Fifth Uncle is also within reason, it's just that it's of the Sister Shu category …”
Maybe she really thought that Lin Shu was too smart, to the point that she was even afraid that Lin Shu might cause trouble from the middle, ”I was overthinking it, Lin Shu is just a young lady, if three or five people from Grandmother's stronghold were to come to Fifth Uncle's room, what could she possibly interfere in? ”But you're not allowed to have any of these people?”
Nanny Chen nodded, ”There are some candidates! It's Mulan, who is standing beside Grand Madam. ”
Mu Lan was a maid that served Grand Madam for many years. Originally, before her stroke, Grand Madam wanted to find a marriage for her, but once she fell ill, the marriage would be delayed as well.
However, the few servants by Grand Madam's side, their standards were too high, how could they be willing to marry a boy servant or manager? When they heard that they would be betrothed to Fifth Master as a concubine, although they didn't say anything, they were very happy in their hearts.
Lin Jia nodded her head and said, ”Mulan is indeed a nice person. Her looks and personality can be considered top-notch, but she doesn't like to be in the limelight too much …”
She had always been at ease with her grandmother's work, so she instructed a few more things to Nanny Chen before she left.
When she returned to the parlour, Lin Shu and Zhang Yuanqing was already there. Lin Hui had already returned with the guests.
When Lin Hui saw her, she immediately grabbed her hand and said: ”Big sister, the flower garden is too cold, we will be back after looking at the peach blossoms for a while.”
She was both afraid and in love with her big sister. She was afraid that if she came back, Lin Jia would be unhappy and say that she would be lazy.
Lin Jia's mind was no longer on this, she only nodded: Then I'll ask the little kitchen to bring some cheese over for you to warm up your bodies and take a look, your faces are all red from the cold!
Lin Hui could not help but let out a long sigh of relief, and said good bye, ”Then let's see if the cook can add more raisins and almonds to the cheese, this way it'll taste better.”
”Yo, Third Miss sure knows how to live a good life. You know how to treat yourself well. After you marry into the Huaiyin's Palace, you can't be afraid that someone in the Huaiyin's Palace will treat you badly …”
Lin Hui could not help but lower her head with an impatient look on her face.
Seeing her like that, the bystanders thought she was being shy, and they became even more excited, ”Look at what you guys have said, Huaiyin and Huaiyin are such good people, why would they make things difficult for us Third Miss?”
”That's right, our Third Miss is really painful! Even if someone really wants to be bad to Third Miss, it would depend on whether her elder sister agrees or not! ”
Lin Jia also laughed, ”Although I love her, how can I control her for a lifetime? ”Once she marries someone, she will become someone else. It won't be easy to meet her again in the future …”
The Madam and Madam came together as if they had endless things to say, but Lin Hui walked over to Lin Shu's side, ”Why do you still look unhappy to me? What's wrong? Did anyone say anything to you just now? ”
Lin Shu shook her head, and said: ”Nothing, it's not like you don't know my character, when Third Sister marries, I feel uncomfortable!”
Lin Hui was also a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, she only said: Don't worry, we will all have this day, at worst, we can just wait until after the wedding and come back to take a look, and I've thought about it, from Huaiyin Palace to National Duke Ning Palace is only an hour's journey, at worst, I'll just find you everyday, okay?
”Even if every single person in the Huaiyin Palace is easy to deal with, how can you run out there all day?” Lin Shu held onto Lin Hui's hand, and at least she had a smile on her face, ”When the time comes, it'll be good if we can meet once a few days and a half. Oh yes, I heard that there's someone that's familiar with the First Aunt that's the palace head, the Empress, I remember previously bringing you to the palace to see her, do you remember?”
