After returning home, Ling Wuye told Sun everything about what happened today.

Sun felt sullen and immediately called Ling Jingyan over and scolded her hard: "What did I tell you before going out? I told you to be calm and honest and not to cause trouble. You promised well, and in a blink of an eye, Just forget about it. The mother and the son are kneeling down to beg for mercy. What does it have to do with you? "

Ling Jingyan defended herself without confidence: "The mother and son were dressed in rags, kowtowing and begging for mercy. They looked really pitiful. That Zhang Jian looked like a rich man, so of course I thought he was bullying people. That's why I went to ask him. Just ask..."

"You didn't ask the question, you went to fight the injustice!" Mrs. Sun snorted softly.

A wise daughter is like a mother. Although Sun didn't witness it with his own eyes, what he said was accurate.

Ling Jingyan fell silent.

Mrs. Sun tapped Ling Jingyan's forehead with her finger: "You just can't get rid of this impulsive and impetuous problem. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang is broad-minded and doesn't care about you."

Ling Jingyan couldn't help but protest loudly: "Mom, that Zhang Jian shamelessly asked me to treat him to lunch on the pretext that his wallet was stolen and he had no money. After dinner, he even said he would visit Ling's house in a few days! Where is he? He’s so broad-minded, he’s just a shameless person who just eats and drinks!”

After hearing these words, Mrs. Sun was not angry, but became interested: "I heard from your fifth uncle that this Zhang Jian is the son of the Minister of Justice. He is eighteen years old and has not yet been married. You have also seen him with your own eyes. He How do you look? Are you handsome?"

Zhang Jian's face flashed through Ling Jingyan's mind again, and she curled her lips against her will: "She is just ordinary, not good-looking at all."

Sun smiled and glanced at Ling Jingyan, but didn't take her words to heart at all, and secretly made a calculation.

It would be fine if Zhang Jian didn't come, but if he did come as a guest in a few days, she would have to see it with her own eyes.

…

After the fifteenth day, the end of the year quickly came to an end.

At this time of year, Sun is the busiest. In the past, her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, helped. Now that Mrs. Jiang is pregnant, she needs to take care of her baby and not worry. Mrs. Sun is alone, busy preparing New Year's gifts for relatives and friends, taking care of things for the New Year in the house, and there are a lot of trivial matters to take care of.

Mrs. Sun was too busy to do anything, so she simply assigned some trivial matters to Ling Jingyan. Ling Jingshu said: "You two are fifteen after the Chinese New Year. It's time to learn to take care of housework. Ayan, the things in the warehouse need to be sorted out." Once registered, you should check it every day to avoid making mistakes. Ah Shu, please take care of the things in the sewing room. I will ask the steward to come and see you later if there is anything you don’t understand. , ask me again.”

Ling Jingyan, Ling Jingshu agreed in unison.

I'm bored all day long, so it would be nice to have something to do to pass the time.

There are about ten embroiderers in the sewing room, and they are busy making winter cotton clothes every day. The steward in the sewing room is an embroiderer who is about thirty years old. She speaks softly and does things very thoughtfully and neatly.

After Ling Jingshu took over the errand of the sewing room, she got started in just two days and was able to do it with ease.

Ling Jingyan had a headache after taking over the warehouse.

Several warehouses are filled with gold, silver utensils, clothing, medicinal materials and other things, which must be sorted and registered one by one. Some items are fragile and breakable, so be careful when moving them. Every time you tidy up the warehouse, it is inevitable to break some things.

Ling Jingyan has a careless temper, so she can't help but feel a little restless when she takes care of this matter.

Soon, a servant broke two of a set of extremely precious blue and white porcelain bowls while moving the porcelain in the warehouse. The two boys were quarreling with each other and got into trouble in front of Ling Jingyan.

Ling Jingyan felt a headache after hearing this and couldn't make up her mind for a moment, so she asked the maid to find Ling Jingshu.

"Cousin Yan, what's going on?" Ling Jingshu looked at her and asked with a smile.

Ling Jingyan told the whole story, and then sighed with a headache: "There was no one else present at the time, just the two of them. They all said that the other party accidentally broke the porcelain bowl, and there was a quarrel for a long time. I couldn't figure it out for a while. "

Ling Jingshu raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly: "This matter is actually easy to solve. Just don't say anything for now. I'll ask a few questions and it will become clearer."

Seeing that Ling Jingshu was confident, Ling Jingyan couldn't help but open her eyes curiously.

…

Ling Jingshu stepped forward and looked down at the two boys kneeling on the ground: "Who broke these two porcelain bowls?"

"If you reply to Miss Cousin, he was the one who broke it."

"Ms. Cousin, please don't believe what he says. He obviously broke the porcelain bowl, but he just blamed it on the servant."

You and I actually started arguing again.

Ling Jingshu's face turned cold and she sneered: "You two cunning slaves are noisy and noisy here, and you don't pay attention to the master at all. There is no need to ask about this matter. You two will each pay for the two broken bowls." one."

One of the two boys had a look of grievance on his face and kept shouting that he was wronged, but the other one had a hint of joy in his eyes, and he soon started shouting too.

Ling Jingshu was too lazy to look at the two of them anymore and said to Ling Jingyan: "Cousin Yan, the matter is already very clear. It was this naughty slave who broke the bowl."

He pointed his slender fingers at the bluffing boy.

Just now she deliberately tried to test her, and the boy who broke the porcelain bowl felt happy when he heard that he was only responsible for half of the compensation, so he showed his signs.

Ling Jingyan also understood at this time, and angrily stepped forward and cursed: "What a cunning and cunning slave! If Ah Shu hadn't come over, I almost would have been deceived. Someone, drag him down and slap him ten times." , let him have a long memory.”

The boy was dragged out amidst cries.

Ling Jingyan felt much calmer. She glanced at Ling Jingshu with admiration, but also felt a little frustrated and annoyed: "Ah Shu, am I stupid! I can't even handle this little thing."

Ling Jingshu smiled and comforted: "How could it be? You were just in a hurry and didn't think of it."

"You don't need to comfort me. I know that I am far less intelligent and clever than you." Ling Jingyan said dullly.

Ling Jingshu held Ling Jingyan's hand and smiled slightly: "Cousin Yan, in fact, I have always envied you. You are lively, cute, pure, kind and lovable. Your uncles and aunts love you very much, and your cousins ​​treat you very well." good."

Whether a person is happy or not has little to do with whether he is smart or not.

She is burdened with a heavy past and hatred. She cannot show her beauty even if her revenge is not avenged.

Ling Jingyan is the truly happy one. Live happily every day, but the biggest worry is what clothes and jewelry to wear tomorrow.

Such a leisurely and comfortable life is out of reach for her.
