Chapter 153 The beginning
After getting off the carriage, I saw that it was charred not far away, and a stinking smell of cloth burning floated in the air. Lin Yingxue had just walked around the burning place, and the hem of the skirt was stained with a layer of black gray.
"Send someone to call everyone from the dyeing workshop, count all the losses, and then bring me the orders that need to be shipped recently. Also, tell the guys who come here that all those who work these days have doubled their wages a day." Lin Yingxue frowned and calmly ordered. Seeing this, the servant beside him seemed to have taken a reassurance, and the anxiety on his face soon faded away.
After the servant left, Lin Yingxue turned her gaze to a figure that shouldn't have appeared here.
"Miss Fifth." Another servant who stayed here saw Lin Yingxue falling on Zhang Su, he hurriedly walked up to explain: "It was this guy who saw something wrong tonight and woke us up in time, otherwise when the fire spreads, our dyeing workshop will probably be over."
Cloth is always the easiest to burn, almost everywhere. As the servant said, if the fire is not extinguished before the fire spreads, even if the people in the city come to help put out the fire, it is impossible for the dyeing cloth workshop to be kept.
Lin Yingxue didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhang Su carefully and saw Zhang Su's description of being embarrassed, his face was covered in gray, his clothes and head were burned by flames, and he looked a little miserable.
When Zhang Su saw Lin Yingxue looking at him, he couldn't help but turn his head away, and his face was filled with humiliation and forbearance, which made his expression look a little weird.
The servant beside him saw that Lin Yingxue had not spoken for a long time, so he kindly said, "This guy has also helped our cloth dyeing workshop a lot before, and he is considered an acquaintance of our cloth dyeing workshop."
The servant's appreciation and gratitude for Zhang Su was beyond words, but Lin Yingxue's emotions did not change much. As Zhang Su's identity, anyone in the imperial city knew that he was either torture or beheading.
Only she, in this imperial city, can give him a new identity, not to help him turn over, but at least it can prevent the family of three from suffering from displaced, so Zhang Su was willing to endure such humiliation to please her.
Although she originally planned to lead Zhang Su to the hook, it is not the time to lift the rod, and she must wait until the fish bit the hook to death.
"I understand." Lin Yingxue responded lightly, turned to Di'er behind her with a look of indifference and said, "I won't go back tonight. You can tell your mother about this tomorrow morning, and you will talk about it after I go back."
After such a busy work, it was just dawn the next day. After Lin Yingxue returned to the Lin family, she didn't have time to rest. She quickly washed up and followed the maid's guidance to the old lady's yard.
The time for apology had passed, but most of the Lin family's masters still never left in the old lady's yard. Even with their toes, Lin Yingxue knew that these people were waiting for her.
"I've met my grandmother, mother, and third aunt..."
"How is the matter in the dyeing workshop handled?"
After Lin Yingxue saw the ceremony one by one, the old lady asked about Lin Yingxue’s cloth dyeing workshop without even letting her sit down.
Therefore, Lin Yingxue had to roughly talk about the situation last night, "...I lost nearly two hundred pieces of fabric last night. I have already told the people below to put together the quantity and fabric that I need to ship recently, and then rush to make the remaining orders. Please rest assured that what happened last night will definitely not affect our shipment."
"Haha, it's only how long it took to help manage the business? I've said that the fifth sister is young and cannot take on the heavy responsibility. My aunt still disobeys and insists on letting the fifth sister help with the matter. Now, something happened! I've just lost two hundred pieces of cloth, and maybe one day we will compensate our Lin family!" As soon as Lin Yingxue finished speaking, Lin Yingmeng couldn't wait to criticize her.
After hearing this, the old lady nodded in agreement, "Yingxue is indeed a little younger, and the losses caused this time..."
"The dyeing cloth shop is a dowry brought by the wife from her parents' home. She has accumulated some accumulation over the years of business. The dyeing cloth shop can still afford this loss." Before the old lady finished speaking, Liu said.
The old lady's words were interrupted, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Liu - the people around her were not clearly telling her that the dyeing cloth shop belongs to the big house, and no matter how they were to do it, it was the big house's business, and it still couldn't involve the entire Lin family.
Liu's short-term protection made the old lady a little dissatisfied. She saw that the old lady lowered her face on the spot, "Hmph, if it were not for the protection of the Lin family for so many years, could the business outside the big house be managed so well? It was because my old woman talked too much, so she shouldn't have been asking about the big house more!"
Liu did not expect that such a small sentence would cause such a big reaction from the old lady, so she had to slow down again and said, "Mother, you misunderstood your wife's meaning. The wife just thought that Yingxue was still young and it was inevitable that she would make mistakes in her work. All this was mainly due to the daughter-in-law's insistence on trying it out. Now that something happened, the matter was naturally the one who was a daughter-in-law, and she couldn't blame the child."
After all, the eldest lady is worthy of being a person who often serves the old lady. After a lot of good things, the old lady's face finally returned to normal.
However, the old lady is not such a good person to beat. Lin Yingxue insisted on listening to the admonition in the old lady's yard for the whole morning, then she lost her body with dizziness.
However, before he could walk out of the old lady's yard, Lin Yingmeng, who had not been able to give Lin Yingxue's face, said unwillingly: "I heard that some people are ignorant of politeness and do not consider how much they are. They actually want to seduce the fifth prince and ask for the fifth prince in the store to reward him. It's so shameless!"
Lin Yingmeng and Lin Yingling walked in front, Lin Yingxue and the eldest lady were behind a few steps behind. Everyone knew who they were saying to.
When the eldest lady heard Lin Yingmeng's blatant arrangement of Lin Yingxue, her face changed on the spot. Lin Yingxue was busy all night last night, and this morning delayed the old lady for the whole morning. She was already extremely tired and did not want to have any conflicts between Lin Yingmeng at this moment, so she quietly pulled the eldest lady's hand and signaled that the eldest lady did not need to stand up for her.
When Lin Ying dreamed that Lin Yingxue did not respond, she couldn't help but say more proudly: "Sister, the golden hairpin on your head was given by the fifth prince, it looks so beautiful! If I want to tell me, some people are not self-aware, can anyone hook up with him?"
"Yingmeng hasn't seen anything else, and her lip service skills are getting better and better." The eldest lady listened to those unpleasant words floating over. It would be fine if she said her own, but since it was Lin Yingxue, she couldn't bear it anymore.
The eldest lady pulled Lin Yingxue to walk a few steps and stopped beside Lin Yingmeng. She glanced at Lin Yingmeng lightly. Her usual gentle eyebrows were rare and sharp. "Yingmeng's words are just 'seduction', 'settlement,'s not what a lady should say? It must be that the ignorant maids below are gossiping every day and have nowhere to ruin Yingmeng!"
"And as the saying goes, each flower has its own beauty. No one in this mansion misses each other. Whether these fifth princess like Yingling or who is the matter of the fifth prince. I wonder if the fifth prince would be angry if he heard someone discussing his behavior behind his back."
The eldest lady also came from her daughter. How could she not understand the undercurrents between the younger daughters' families? It was just because she married and became a homeowner, so her temper was a little restrained. If she was really serious, how many people in this mansion would be her opponent?
What's more, the eldest lady is right. Compared with Lin Yingxue and Lin Yingling and others, the difference was just one person. But now Lin Yingxue has adopted him to the big house. He is the legitimate daughter of the big house. Compared with Lin Yingling, who has no backer of the Song family, it is really not bad at all! So even Lin Yingxue couldn't understand where Lin Yingmeng's self-righteous superiority comes from now.
After being choked by the eldest lady, Lin Yingmeng opened her mouth, and for a long time she couldn't say a word.
"Let's go." The eldest lady stopped when she saw the good news and pulled Lin Yingxue to lift her chest and left.
Then the eldest lady had a stern face and didn't say anything. Until she entered Mo Yunxuan and there were only two 'mother and daughter' in the room, the eldest lady then spoke with a stern face: "Yingxue, I know you have never liked to make trouble for many things, but sometimes your tolerance will only make some people arrogant. If you have a mother to back you up, you can just talk and do it. No matter what happens, you will have a mother to take care of you..."
The eldest lady rarely speaks to Lin Yingxue in this serious tone, but every word the eldest lady said today is from the heart.
Lin Yingxue was moved. She smiled and nodded at the eldest lady, "Don't worry, Mother, Yingxue will definitely not let her mother down."
Seeing that Lin Yingxue understood what she meant, the eldest lady couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I heard that someone was deliberately doing it when I was going to the cloth dyeing workshop. You must find out this matter Yingxue, otherwise you don't know what tricks the person behind the scenes will play in the future."
When talking about the fire in the dyeing workshop, the eldest lady did not want to blame Lin Yingxue at all. Instead, she analyzed the situation for Lin Yingxue with concern.
"Don't worry, Mother, I must send someone to investigate this matter. As for the losses in the dyeing workshop..."
"Yingxue, you don't have to say this." The eldest lady interrupted Lin Yingxue's words and showed a kind smile on her face. "Yingxin is married, and I have given her everything she deserves. As for you, there are not many things that my mother can leave for you. If you get married in the future, you can take away any property under your mother's name. In addition, you have a few years left. We don't have the background like other ladies, so we only have this property left for you to mess with."
"If you have the ability, you can strengthen this industry. These industries will be your confidence after getting married. If you feel that you don't have much talent in your business, then arrange for the people below to manage these industries and keep them the same."
The eldest lady's face was full of sincerity.
When she started to enter the big room, Lin Yingxue was just happy that she had finally gotten rid of the title of concubine, but the eldest lady really treated her as her biological daughter. Lin Yingxue didn't remember how long it had been since she had experienced this kind of mother-like care.
"Okay." Thousands of words are only transformed into this one word.
