Is there too much birth in the quick wear?

Chapter 106: A Passerby in the World of Red Mansions (6)

No matter what the situation was that Jia Min was asking about, or what the situation was like for Lin Ruhai and his wife.

After Wan Yin finished the tasks assigned to her, she returned to her own courtyard. It was not appropriate for her to appear in such a lively occasion as today.

She had discussed this issue with Mrs. Lin before, and Mrs. Lin understood her.

Jia Min, who had just gotten married, was still very happy. Her husband was gentle and considerate, her mother-in-law did not make things difficult for her, and the distant young lady did not seem to be what she imagined.

When Jia Min returned home on the third day, Mrs. Lin prepared rich gifts for her to show her appreciation for her as a daughter-in-law.

After returning home three days later, Mrs. Lin began to take Jia Min to deal with some household affairs. At the beginning, Mrs. Lin was prepared to hand them over directly to Jia Min.

But in the end Mrs. Lin did not do so. After all, Jia Min left a bad impression on her when she first met him.

It was at this time that Jia Min came into more contact with Zhang Wanyin, and she discovered that this distant relative was a little different from what she had imagined.

Perhaps it was because Mrs. Lin was used to getting along with Zhang Wanyin on a daily basis. In the past, when Mrs. Lin was managing household affairs, she would bring Zhang Wanyin with her and teach her how to handle things.

Zhang Wanyin would also make direct decisions on some small matters, so there was no need to bring these matters up to Mrs. Lin to trouble her.

Mrs. Lin was used to it, Zhang Wanyin was used to it, and even the housekeeper and the Lin family's manager were basically used to it.

Even though Zhang Wanyin is now a distant relative of the Lin family, that is only what is said to the outside world.

In addition to better treatment in the Lin family, Zhang Wanyin's rights in the Lin residence have not changed. After all, she used to be Madam Lin's maid.

Mrs. Lin had entrusted her with many of her affairs, but the way Mrs. Lin and the Lin family handled things made the smart Jia Min think too much.

Jia Min, who was overthinking, did not ask or verify with Lin Ruhai and Mrs. Lin, but asked her dowry to inquire about the situation of Miss Zhang again.

The servants from the Jia Mansion were incompatible with those from the Lin Mansion. The servants on both sides looked down on each other, and now the housekeeper's power was still in the hands of Mrs. Lin. Jia Min was only given a little power by Mrs. Lin.

Moreover, Mrs. Lin had specifically instructed people about the evening recitation, so even if the people from the Jia family inquired about it, they would not be able to find out anything except that Miss Zhang had come to the capital with Mrs. Lin.

Lin Ruhai had been appointed to an official position before, and was a reader in the Hanlin Academy from the sixth rank. This position was a very good one, and it also showed how much the emperor valued Lin Ruhai.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have been married for half a year. During this period, the couple has a very good relationship. Mrs. Lin rarely sets rules for her daughter-in-law, but sometimes calls her over to teach her how to manage the household.

But this made Jia Min a little unbearable. Jia Min felt that Mrs. Lin looked down on her and the Jia family's style and education.

After all, young ladies like them, who are members of the management board, can be taught by their own mothers at home, so there is no need for them to be taught by their mothers-in-law. Therefore, they feel resentful.

When the conflict broke out, it was Mrs. Lin who called Jia Min over and had several people brought up.

"Min'er, do you know about the rumors in the mansion during this period?" Mrs. Lin stared into Jia Min's eyes. She wanted to know if those words were spread by her, the daughter-in-law.

You know, now Mrs. Lin dislikes this daughter-in-law more and more. Even when they first met, Jia Min left a bad impression on Mrs. Lin.

But this was a marriage arranged by the emperor, and Mrs. Lin thought that her daughter-in-law was still young, so she would just take care of her first.

That's why he didn't give the housekeeper power to Jia Min. He just let Jia Min take care of the affairs in their own yard, and at the same time gave Jia Min the affairs of the kitchen.

Mrs. Lin also wanted to see how Jia Min managed the household affairs. Jia Min did a good job at the beginning, and there were no other problems except that the habits of the two families were a little different.

But it didn't take long for Mrs. Lin to discover the problem. First of all, her daughter-in-law was a bit nepotistic, even with her, the mother-in-law, watching over her.

She quickly replaced the person in charge of kitchen purchasing with her own person, and this daughter-in-law seemed to have no clear understanding of the market prices.

Mrs. Lin quietly watched the kitchen purchases and tried to raise the price. At the same time, the kitchen waste also increased. When the people below reported it, Mrs. Lin told them to ignore it and keep the evidence first.

Mrs. Lin thought that her daughter-in-law had learned how to manage the household, and would be able to discover these little tricks quickly.

However, there were more and more things that made Mrs. Lin dissatisfied. Jia Min came and brought many concubines with her. Some of them were taken to the farm, while others were brought directly into the Lin Mansion.

Gradually, some people in the mansion started drinking and playing cards, and some even began to gossip about the master's family.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lin was strict and some words did not spread outside.

This time, Mrs. Lin arrested the man and asked Jia Min to come over because someone in the mansion mentioned Wan Yin's incident.

Because Jia Min's companion finally learned from that talkative person that Wan Yin was once Mrs. Lin's maid, but she didn't know why she later became a distant relative.

Jia Min also knew about this matter, and the companion room was also done under her instructions. She just told the servants to drive away this distant cousin who was not in the right position.

The servants in the Jia family were very good at doing this, and a lot of rumors spread in the mansion because of it.

Some people say that a maid is a maid and a master is a master, and some people can still hide their poverty even if they wear brocade and silk.

Some people talk about living and eating for free in other people's homes, and they never thought that one day they would be able to climb into bed and really become the master of this house.

Anyway, there were all kinds of unpleasant words, and they were not just said in a small way, but they were said in places specifically where Wan Yin could hear them.

It was clearly meant for Zhang Wanyin to hear. At this time, Jia Daishan was still alive and in the emperor's favor. The servants of the Jia family would always keep their eyes on him when they went out.

They did not take the distant relatives of the Lin family seriously at all. Even though they followed Jia Min to the Lin family, in their hearts they were still members of the Jia family.

They thought that if they just used words to bully others, those who were thin-skinned would be so embarrassed that they would want to die and move out overnight.

But they didn't expect that this old lady would catch them all at once and have them taken directly to Mrs. Lin.

Now the kidnapped people are a little uneasy. Not only did they fail to get things done, but they also implicated their master. They don't know whether the master will protect them, because that is the master's mother-in-law after all.

Jia Min did not have the same thoughts as those servants. To be honest, she now hated her mother-in-law more and more.

"Mother, I wonder what mistakes my dowry made that require them all to be tied up?" Was she, as the mother-in-law, really going to lose face for the sake of such a maid?

"Don't you, as their master, know what they did? Wan Yin is my niece, and I'll let her live in the mansion for a few years. Don't you think you can tolerate her?"

Mrs. Lin was really a little angry. Firstly, she truly loved and loved Wanyin and treated her as her own daughter.

The one exception was Jia Min. She really didn't expect that Jia Min couldn't even tolerate Wan Yin, a relative who was living in the mansion.
