As expected, it was Sicui and the three of them who came.
Lin Mengya saw that the three of them looked very haggard, and even their clothes were still the same as when they came back.
However, it is also clean and neat, and even the patches are neatly sewn.
Although life for these three people was difficult, they did not lose their energy.
I couldn't help but feel secretly satisfied.
In addition to being loyal, these three people are also remarkable and indeed useful.
Now, his attitude is much more sincere.
"Sit down, I haven't asked the names of the three of you yet."
The three of them reported their names in a polite manner.
Sicui, Hongli, and Jingui are all housekeepers who help Aunt Fang handle external affairs.
Because I had to be busy with Aunt Fang's various private properties, I was delayed a little and came back late.
And because they are all careless widows.
If Aunt Fang hadn't saved them in the first place, I'm afraid these three people would have become lonely ghosts.
Therefore, after learning the news of Aunt Fang's death, the three of them were filled with joy and sorrow. They planned to come back and take one more look at their old master before committing suicide.
But unexpectedly, he saw a hypocritical villain trying to rob the things left by his wife.
This was intolerable to them, but it was a pity that they had something to rely on when Madam was around.
Now that the wife is gone, they have become the target of bullying in this mansion.
The three of them are not easy to mess with. After this fight, those snobbish guys will also have a headache.
But when they heard that Mrs. Duan wanted to do something for Mrs. Cao, they couldn't bear it anymore.
That woman couldn't even tolerate the flowers and plants in Madam's yard, let alone Madam's most important ritual.
They were afraid that the woman would cause trouble and make Madam uneasy underground. When they were anxious, they learned the news about the visitor from Madam's natal family.
They have also been observing secretly these past two days.
After discovering that this cousin also disliked seeing Mrs. Duan, they finally rushed to the door impatiently, hoping to do their part.
After hearing them explain their purpose, Lin Mengya was also grateful for their master's sincerity.
"I was just thinking. If I didn't have a few people who are familiar with the household affairs and are considerate and loyal to help me, I'm afraid I would be in a hurry and make people laugh. Now that it's over, it's time for me to thank you three. "
Sicui quickly said she didn't dare, they just hoped to do their best.
Lin Mengya also noticed the three people's will to die, thinking that they could not let these three people die in vain, but it was difficult to explain clearly, so she could only say vaguely: "If it is my aunt's spirit in heaven, I definitely don't want to see you like this. Martyr her. It’s better to look forward to everything. Maybe one day things will turn around and things will turn out differently.”
The three of them didn't understand what she said, or even if they did, they didn't dare to think about it.
They just thought that after finishing this matter, it would not be too late to go see their old master.
Lin Mengya knew very well that the best way to convince these three people was to let them see with their own eyes that Aunt Fang was still alive.
But now is not the time.
She asked the three people carefully about the preparations for holding a grand ceremony.
Incense, candles, ingots and other things are all available in the house, and because we had to hold a wedding a while ago, we also bought a lot of rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, which will come in handy these days.
In addition to arranging the guests, the most important thing is to invite a few eminent monks, preferably well-known ones, so that there will be nothing missing for the ritual.
But Lin Mengya never expected that she was ready for everything else, but when it came to inviting Dao Gaozeng, she failed again and again.
"What? Elder Kong Jing was invited away again? How long will it take to come back this time?"
This is already the fifth time.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly and asked Mrs. Sicui who went to invite people in person.
The latter also expressed helplessly that Elder Kongjing was picked up halfway this time. The young monk in the temple said that Elder Kongjing would have to go there for at least ten and a half months before he could come back.
It is said that that person is a big donor of sesame oil money to the temple. Every year at this time, Elder Kongjing is invited to give lectures and has been doing so for several years. It is definitely not a temporary initiative.
"This is difficult to handle. Besides Master Kong Jing, do you have any other candidates?" Lin Mengya asked, frowning.
Sicui shook his head, "If there were, the servants would have invited him back long ago. Master Kongjing is very famous here, and everyone can only trust him."
Lin Mengya didn't believe that this incident was entirely a coincidence.
It's just that someone wants to add fuel to the fire behind her back and see her laugh.
After thinking about it, she asked again: "Do you have anyone who can choose the one that's a little further away?"
Mentioning this, Sicui hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it again and again, she still said: "Aside from Master Kongjing, there is a Master Yunxi in the Shi family's temple closest to us. That Yunxi is Kongjing The master's uncle is also very skilled in Buddhism.
It's just that the historian seemed to be kind to him. Master Yunxi once vowed to recite sutras for the historian for ten years. I don’t know now if ten years have passed. "
When Lin Mengya heard this, she quickly waved her hand.
"It doesn't matter whether he has passed or not, as long as you want to pray for the Shi family, it will be the same no matter where you are. You go find Master Yunxi as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, you will kidnap him!"
Sicui was stunned, thinking how could this young lady act like a bandit
Lin Mengya also felt that what she said seemed a bit wrong, so she quickly changed her words.
"I mean, you have to persuade him with emotion and reason. And tell Master Yunxi that if he is willing to come, the relationship between the Zhao family and the Shi family will be much harmonious in the future. This is better than him chanting It’s much easier to recite sutras and chant the Buddha’s name.”
Sicui quickly wrote down all her words and hurriedly went to invite people.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief in her busy schedule.
Although this ritual is not real, talking about cooperation with those aristocratic families is not sloppy at all.
Thinking of this, she still felt that she had to go and see for herself how prepared those people were.
But not long after leaving the yard, they heard a quarrel.
"Where did you get the courage to even deprive my young lady of her belongings? Now that you have just climbed a high branch, do you really think of yourself as a phoenix?"
The voice sounded very young, she should be the maid in the house.
In addition, besides her, there are only two people in the house who can be called young ladies.
Obviously, if the person is not your own, then there are only those two people.
As soon as she arrived, the crowd suddenly opened a way for her, which made Lin Mengya a little unprepared.
Fortunately, she remained calm and squeezed Cairu's hand, who then said, "What's going on?"
There happened to be a young woman dressed as a maid in the crowd, holding a piece of brightly colored silk.
Seeing her coming, the maid glared at her fiercely, looking very disdainful.
Lin Mengya was a little confused.
She just arrived, right? Why was this person staring at her
"Miss Ya."
A maid with red eyes came out of the crowd.
"This slave came out to make new clothes for you according to your order. Unexpectedly, it was snatched away by the people around Miss Jun."
Making new clothes
Lin Mengya felt that she did not issue this order!
But Jun Rongrong's maid started shouting.
"You shouldn't use my lady's things to make clothes! This piece of cloth was promised to my lady half a year ago! Even if the head of the family has changed now, you can still agree to what I have promised. It’s hard to regret it, right?”
After the man finished speaking, he looked at her with a rather contemptuous look.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows.
She obviously didn't ask anyone to make new clothes, but now it's like this.
It seems that someone deliberately wants to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
She glanced lightly at the maid who said she asked her to get the silk, and said with a smile: "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that it was a piece of silk that caused the trouble. Someone, bring me from home. I will give you a piece of silk and satin as my apology."
Now, no matter what she does, people will think that she is too petty and will dominate when she is in power, which is really detrimental to her majesty.
Soon, someone brought a piece of goose-yellow satin.
In the sunlight, the fabric was actually shining, like flowing starlight, so beautiful.
If this silk satin was cut into clothes and worn on the body, I don't know what it would look like.
On the other hand, the cloth in the maid's hand was as different as clouds and mud.
Lin Mengya generously asked people to unfold the fabric so that everyone could see it clearly. After seeing that it was indeed a good piece of material without any flaws, she then had someone carefully roll it up and send it to them generously. It was given to the maid who had been stunned for a long time.
"It's all because of the mishandling of my subordinates that this big misunderstanding occurred. Please also ask the girl to take this piece of cloth back to express my apology."
The maid nodded dumbly and didn't react until she took both pieces of cloth away.
That’s not right!
According to the order of the young lady, she should have made a big fuss about Miss Ya who had evil thoughts and wanted to steal other people's things when she first took office, so as to make Miss Ya lose face and then ask her to voluntarily give up the power of the housekeeper.
But now...
She glanced at the gleaming fabric and felt a little reluctant to leave it.
It is rare to see such a precious thing, let alone wearing it.
She thought about it and decided to go back and recover first.
Lin Mengya had to gain something to be willing to lose a piece of valuable fabric for no reason.
Everyone was stunned by her handwriting.
Naturally, she felt that with such good fabric in hand, was she crazy to want such obviously cheaper fabric to make clothes
So this matter was probably a misunderstanding as she said.
At the same time, they also gained a new understanding of Lin Mengya's own financial resources.
