A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

He Sanlang glanced at Lin Yanniang disdainfully.

"Although your brothers from your mother's side don't live in our house, the other two families have also known the news. Third Madam, please don't be impolite."

Lin Yanniang's face was full of indifference. "I've asked them to go out and buy some snacks and fruits today."

The masters of each room were all very arrogant, and the servants were snobbish.

She also gave each family a portion of the local ritual gifts that were sent from her mother's home in Tongcheng.

Not only will the result be bad, but you will also have to endure a lot of ridicule and sarcasm behind your back.

All the local rituals were finally given to the servants for use.

If you want to use it, just use it. Why do you have to let her know in a roundabout way?

Later on, she simply didn't give them the local gift, and went directly to the street to buy one and sent it over.

If you want to give it to your servants, go ahead. It’s your capital’s thing anyway.

She also followed suit when gifts came from other rooms at the back, and gave rewards to the servants when they should be given.

He Sanlang snorted, "What did you give Huge to drink just now? Is it some strange folk remedy? Why is there a wine cup when I look at it?"

Lin Yanniang laughed and said, "This is not a folk remedy. It is a food tonic recipe that Doctor Jiang left for me last time."

These people have really sharp tongues. Even if the prescription is written by a famous imperial physician, as long as there are some expensive tonics in it, they dare to say it is a folk remedy and the child is too young to take it!

He Sanlang said nothing and walked into the room with his hands behind his back.

His eyes had already moved around the room several times, as if searching for something.

Nanny Zhao was feeling uneasy, thinking of the pair of large pearls, which her brother had only played with for half a day before putting away. Otherwise, if they were placed in the gilded treasure bowl on the Duobao Pavilion, wouldn't the Third Master see them at a glance?

It was not uncommon for this master to "borrow" valuables from his boy's room.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yanniang hated him even more.

"Third Master, are you here to see Hu Ge'er? Why are you empty-handed?"

The Heguogong Mansion looks gorgeous from the outside, but actually, only those who are inside will know that it is just like He Sanlang, all show and no substance.

If she hadn't been so careful about her children's future and kept her dowry tight, it might have been taken away by this guy long ago.

Although He Sanlang was very thick-skinned, he couldn't save face when it was revealed in front of so many people that he came here just to see what good things his mother-in-law had given him.

So he walked up to Hu Ge'er and took a quick look at him.

Hu Ge'er is still as thin as a hairless monkey.

The complexion is still as bad as ever.

There is a reason why he and Hu Ge'er are not close.

When he was less than one year old and was sick all the time, I knew I couldn’t raise him.

Since they can't grow up, shouldn't we just see and hear less to avoid being sad in the future?

Only Lin was very stubborn and stupid. He had obviously tried to persuade her to let go and give birth to a healthy son as soon as possible, but she quarreled with him and even scratched his face.

If he didn't have the good upbringing of a son of an aristocratic family, he would have divorced her long ago!

Look at all the people in this mansion, whenever they talk about her, they all shake their heads and sigh!

He Sanlang touched Hu Ge'er's face awkwardly, but he didn't expect that his body was filled with fragrant aroma. Hu Ge'er couldn't help coughing when he was overwhelmed by the fragrance.

Lin Yanniang rushed over, held Huger in her arms, and pushed He Sanlang away.

"Master San, please get out! You know that Brother Hu can't stand the smell of fragrance, but you still make me choke with the smell!"

He Sanlang snorted, flicked his sleeves and walked out.

"You ignorant woman, you only know how to raise a boy who is even more delicate than that little girl. Let's see what good things you will get in the future!"

He Sanlang left Weirui Courtyard and walked to a small courtyard on the west side.

Aunt Xiu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw He Sanlang coming, she stepped forward and took his arm.

Deliver it to the yard diligently.

"Third Master, have you seen the generous gift sent by the old lady of the Bo Mansion?"

As she spoke, she blocked her mouth with her handkerchief, as if this was something very funny.

"What kind of gift is this? It's just some worthless local ceremonies. Isn't it always like this in previous years?"

In fact, the gifts that Old Lady Su had sent in previous years also included a gold necklace and a small gold bracelet.

It’s just that the people in Duke He’s mansion have high standards and have seen a lot of these gold artifacts.

The gift from Old Madam Su was not big enough and was not inlaid with fine gems, so she looked down upon it.

"But I heard that this time it's a big box full of stuff, and it will take two or three maids to carry it in!"

In the past, when the Third Master went to Weirui Courtyard, she would be angry for two days, but today it was her who instigated the Third Master to go there.

If there are any treasures, maybe the Third Master can bring some back and let her benefit from it.

If not, she could just laugh at it together with the Third Master, and also spread the news to the other two rooms, so that everyone could laugh at Lin's joke.

"It's just bluffing. My father-in-law is gone now, and my mother-in-law is an old lady. What can she have?"

Those two or three thousand taels of silver must be kept for retirement!

Aunt Xiu wanted to see the Madam make a fool of herself, but in the mansion of Duke He, the smallest piece of news could spread throughout the whole house.

Don’t people from each family know that someone from Lin’s family came and delivered a box of things?

The eldest wife of the first house listened and smiled slightly.

A box?

It really is getting worse and worse. It would be better not to send a box of local gifts.

The second wife of the second room raised her eyebrows, pinched her handkerchief, and chatted and laughed with the old woman beside her.

"Oh! It's not easy! A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is worth more than the sentiment!"

When the second room received the gifts from the third room, they saw that the boxes were the same as before and they were all from shops in the capital, so they all laughed.

But on the next day, Lin Yanniang received an invitation from the Ding Mansion.

The Ding family is an upper-middle class family in the capital. Mr. He, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, naturally looks down on the small officials of the Ding family who are only of the fifth rank.

But the second and third wives were both illegitimate sons and would not be able to inherit the title in the future.

Unfortunately, the two brothers were the same. They failed the examination to become a scholar, and failed the examination for military service. In the end, they could only spend money.

The second wife spent more money and donated a ninth-rank official position in the Ministry of Works. Although it was only the lowest official position, it was better than a commoner.

The third room spent slightly less money and only donated a student.

Lord Ding of the Ding Mansion, although only a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel, actually has real power.

Moreover, the Ding family has been officials for generations, and there are now several of them serving as chief officials in various places. It will definitely be of great benefit to be able to interact with their family.

It’s just that they have never had any contact with each other, and there is no reason for them to become friends.

Of course Lin Yanniang herself knew why.

She looked at Madam Jiao and said with a smile, "Madam, you have met Mrs. He from the Ding family a few times. Why don't you go with me?"
