Because Zhou Yiming and Lin Ajiao live in the backyard, servants of the Zhou family are not allowed to enter easily without permission. The only exception is Huan'er. Only she can enter and exit the backyard at will to take care of the young couple. It is precisely for this reason that when the housing situation of the Zhou family was tight, Zhou Ruhai, as the head of the family, still made room for Huan'er to live in a small room in the backyard.
The treatment of being able to live in a single room is already better than that of the Zhou family's servants. After all, before this, among the Zhou family's servants, except for Laifu, who could live alone, no matter how much they were appreciated by their master, they could not live alone. They all live in Datongpu, with several people crowded into one room.
Lin Ajiao returned to the backyard and took a closer look. Only then did she realize that she had just walked to the front yard without even noticing that the light was on in Huan'er's room.
Lin Ajiao sighed and walked towards the door of Huan'er's room. After arriving at the door, she did not knock on the door because although she had scolded Huan'er harshly at the dinner table, she actually understood in her heart. , Huan'er didn't make a big mistake in this matter. The reason why she tit for tat and quarreled with Chun Ni was actually to protect her own dignity. She blamed her so much, which was really a bit of repayment of kindness.
But Lin Ajiao also knew in her heart that the position she was in now forced her to do this.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Ajiao still hadn't figured out how to reconcile with Huan'er after entering the house, and how to make this little girl understand her helplessness.
While hesitating, Lin Ajiao looked around and found Huan'er's shadow appearing on the window.
She seemed to be sitting at the table, facing the candle, secretly lost in thought.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ajiao was heartbroken. She knew that Huan'er had grown up with her and had never been so wronged. Even if she contradicted her in the past, she had never blamed her.
But today, in front of so many people, I scolded this little girl bloody. She was only a teenager and was in a dependent environment, but as the person she was closest to, I treated her like this. , I think this little girl must be extremely sad.
Thinking of this, Lin Ajiao felt heartbroken. She didn't think too much and knocked on the door twice. She pushed the door open and walked in without waiting for Huan'er to open the door for her.
After entering the door, what Lin Ajiao saw made her even more uncomfortable.
I saw Huan'er sitting next to the table, with half a candle lit on the table. Because the candle was too small, the light from the candle not only failed to illuminate the room, but made the room look even darker.
Huan'er was staring at the light of the candle, sobbing silently and crying. When she heard the knock on the door, she was so frightened that she wiped her tears and stood up, ready to open the door.
But as soon as she stood up, Lin Ajiao had already opened the door and walked in.
Huan'er quickly wiped away the tears on her face and pretended as if nothing happened: "Miss, why didn't you accompany the young master to my room? Has the young master gone to bed?"
Tears shone in Lin Ajiao's eyes. She tried her best not to cry. Then she turned around and closed the door. Then she returned to the room and sat on Huan'er's bed.
Huan'er immediately became busy: "Miss, my room is too small. You can sit there for a while and then go back. I don't have anything to entertain you in the room, so just have a cup of tea."
Huan'er found the cleanest cup and was about to pour tea when Lin Ajiao suddenly stopped her: "You don't have to be busy, I won't drink anything."
Hearing this, Huan'er put down the cup and teapot in despair, and then stood on the ground blankly, without saying a word.
Lin Ajiao suddenly walked over, took her hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Huan'er, are you angry with me? Do you feel aggrieved?"
Originally, Huan'er had basically calmed down her excitement, but when she suddenly heard her young lady asking this question, the aggrieved feeling in her heart suddenly surged up again.
Her tears kept rolling down like broken pearls, while she choked and said: "Miss, I am not wronged, let alone angry with you.
I have been with you since I was a child. Although you are my master in name, I have always treated you as my sister. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how naughty I am or if I make a more serious mistake than before, you will not let me go. Scold me, I remember this in my heart.
You taught me such a lesson just now, and I don’t blame you at all. Who made me so unimproved? It’s right for you to scold me. I will definitely remember and never embarrass you again. "
Hearing that Huan'er was so well-behaved and sensible, Lin Ajiao felt even more distressed. She put her arms around Huan'er's neck, held her in her arms, and said with a tearful voice: "Good sister, I can't help you. The reason why I just There is nothing I can do about losing my temper with you like that.
When we come here, we are not as comfortable as we are at home. We have to think twice before doing anything and be more careful when we speak. Otherwise, if we make a mistake, I will not be able to hold my head high in their home and will be embarrassed. If the honor of our Lin family is ruined, our sins will be great. "
After hearing these words, Huan'er suddenly became enlightened and her mood became better, because after being taught a lesson by Lin Ajiao before, she had been worried that Lin Ajiao would no longer like her and even send her away. Go back to Lin's house.
Only now did she understand that the reason why her young lady did that was out of helplessness. After all, although she was now the young mistress of the Zhou family, the nominal head of the Zhou family was still the master of the Zhou family. As a newly married woman, The young lady of the Zhou family must be careful in her words and deeds, otherwise if she makes a mistake in dealing with others, she will definitely arouse people's discussion.
It is precisely because of this consideration that the lady is so strict with herself.
After thinking about this, Huan'er hugged Lin Ajiao and cried loudly: "Miss, you really scared me to death just now. I thought you were so mean to me because you didn't want me anymore. It turns out you are so Lots of good intentions.
Don't worry, miss, I will definitely be obedient in the future, never cause you any trouble, and will give you a good reputation. "
Lin Ajiao had never expected that Huan'er could understand things so well. She was overjoyed and quickly comforted Huan'er and told her to stop crying, otherwise people in the front yard would hear her and cause trouble again.
Soon Huan'er stopped crying, and the master and servant said many thoughtful words, and then they reconciled as before.
After coming out of Huan'er's room, Lin Ajiao looked at the clock and saw that it was still early. She thought that if she went back to her room to sleep now, it would inevitably make people comment, and when she got up tomorrow morning, she wouldn't be surprised when she saw her parents-in-law. Kindly.
After having this idea in her mind, she simply decided to go around the front yard again, because she knew that in the past, at this time after dinner, her father-in-law would stay in the study to read, leaving her mother-in-law alone in their room. , so she planned to go talk to her mother-in-law and show her filial piety.
After having this idea, she slowly walked to the front yard.
The servants who were still working in the yard just saw the young lady returning to the backyard, and they all thought that she would never come to the front yard again. Suddenly they saw the young lady appear in the front yard again. Everyone was shocked and felt that this young lady of theirs was... It's really the style of everyone, because everyone knows in their hearts that the young mistress can take advantage of the opportunity to wait for the young master to rest, be lazy, rest with the young master, and never come out again.
After all, if the young mistress does this, it will only make the scene unsightly, and others will not be able to find any fault, because the young mistress and the young master are originally a legal couple.
"Young lady, haven't you rested yet?"
While everyone was busy, they all said hello to Lin Ajiao.
"It's still early, and the young master is too tired, so he's going to rest first. If he could stand it, he wouldn't go to bed so early." Lin Ajiao said with a smile on her face, "I can't sleep so early. Yes, so I came to the front yard and planned to talk to the old lady."
Hearing what Lin Ajiao said, everyone present was impressed. After all, everyone knew that when a young daughter-in-law comes to her husband's house, she usually falls in love with her husband-in-law and has a very good relationship, but she can have sex with her mother-in-law. There are only a handful of young daughters-in-law with whom we have a good relationship.
The young mistress is usually so busy, but when she has a little free time, she just wants to talk to the old lady. This kind of filial piety may not even be possessed by her own young master.
While everyone praised Lin Ajiao for her filial piety, someone told her: "Young Madam, the madam has gone back to their room. The master is reading in the study. If you want to chat with the madam, go to the second elder's room to find the madam."
Lin Ajiao smiled and nodded, and followed everyone's guidance and went straight to find Mrs. Zhou.
After experiencing the ups and downs of her mood this day, Mrs. Zhou didn't feel sleepy at all. At this time, she was in her room, instructing several of her maids to do needlework.
"When this stitch goes inward, you need to use a thin line and trace it carefully, so that it looks good..."
The few maids who do needlework are all very skilled. Although Mrs. Zhou's instructions are sometimes wrong, they dare not point it out and can only sew according to the wrong method.
Just when Mrs. Zhou felt a little bored, someone outside the house suddenly reported: "Old madam, the young lady is here and asked if you can come in."
Mrs. Zhou was just looking for someone to talk to. When she heard her daughter-in-law coming to chat with her, she immediately said happily: "Let her in quickly."
Lin Ajiao walked into the room with a smile on her face. When she saw Mrs. Zhou, she first bowed, said hello, and sat down on the chair closest to Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly dismissed the little maid in the room, then took Lin Ajiao's hand and asked in a low voice: "My dear daughter-in-law, you came at the right time. I originally wanted to send someone to find you.
Let me ask you, is Ming'er's injury okay? If the injury is serious, you must tell your mother. Ming'er is our Zhou family's only hope now. He must not make any mistakes! "
