Chapter 242
After returning to the mansion, Ling Fifth Master told Sun Clan everything that happened today
Sun’s stomach was full of sulkiness as she listened, and immediately called Ling Jingyan over and severely criticized her: ”What did I tell you before you went out?
Let you be quiet and honest, do not cause trouble
You promised well, a turn of the eye to the back of the mind
The mother and son kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, what does it have to do with you
Who told you to be nosy?”
Ling Jingyan defended herself with a lack of breath, “That mother and son were dressed in rags, begging for mercy while kowtowing, it was really pitiful
That Zhang Jian looked like a rich man, so of course I thought he was bullying them
That’s why I went forward to ask about it””Which are you asking about it, you are going to fight for justice!”
Sun lightly hummed
Knowing a daughter is not like a mother
Although Sun had not witnessed it with her own eyes, she said it word for word
Ling Jingyan did not say anything
Sun tapped Ling Jingyan’s forehead with her finger: “You, you just can’t get rid of this impulsive and impetuous problem
Fortunately, that Mr Zhang was broad-minded and didn’t bother with you”
Ling Jingyan couldn’t help but protest, “Mother, that Mr Zhang Jian had no silver on the pretext that his purse had been stolen, and he shamelessly asked me to treat him to lunch
After eating, he even said that he would visit the Ling family in a few days!
He’s not broad-minded, he’s simply a cheeky man who dabbles in food and drink!”
Sun heard these words, not only did she not get angry, but instead became interested: “I heard your fifth uncle say that this Zhang Jian is the son of the Minister of Justice, eighteen years old this year, and not yet married
You have also seen him with your own eyes, how does he look?
Is he handsome?”
Ling Jingyan’s mind flashed back to Zhang Jian’s face, and against her will, she bristled, “Born ordinary, not good looking at all”
Sun smiled and glanced at Ling Jingyan, not taking her words to heart, secretly calculating
It would be fine if Zhang Jian didn’t come to the door, but if he did come as a guest in a few days, she would have to take a look with her own eyes
After the fifteenth day, the days quickly came to the end of the year
At this time of year, Sun was the busiest
In the past, she still had her daughter-in-law Jiang to help out, but now that Jiang was pregnant she had to nurse her child without worry and should not be bothered
Sun’s alone, have to be busy preparing the annual gifts of friends and relatives, but also have to be busy to take care of the mansion New Year’s things, there are a bunch of trivial matters need to be taken care of
Sun’s lack of time and busyness, so she assigned some trivial matters to Ling Jingyan Ling Jingshu: “You two are fifteen years old after the New Year, you should also learn to take care of some household matters
Ayan, the things in the storehouse should be registered one by one, you go and watch them every day to avoid mistakes
Shu, you can help with the needlework room
I’ll have the steward come to see you later
If you two don’t know anything, come back and ask me again”
Ling Jingyan Ling Jingshu answered in unison
Being idle and bored all day, it was good to have something to pass the time
There were about ten embroiderers in the needlework room, and they were busy making winter cotton clothes every day
The manager of the needlework room was an embroiderer of about thirty years of age, who spoke softly and did things in a very thorough manner
After Ling Jingshu took over the duties of the needlework room, she was able to get started in just two days, and was able to work with ease
Ling Jingyan, who took over the storehouse, had a bit of a headache
Several rooms are full of gold and silver utensils, clothing, herbs and other things to be sorted and registered one by one
Some fragile and perishable things, moving and carrying time to be extra careful
Every time you organize the treasury, breaking something is unavoidable
Ling Jingyan’s temperament is rough and loose, and she can’t help but be a bit impatient when she’s in charge of this mess
Soon, there will be underlings in the handling of porcelain in the warehouse, will be a set of very expensive blue and white porcelain bowl broke two
The two boys shifted the blame to each other, argued, and made a scene in front of Ling Jingyan
Ling Jingyan had a headache listening to them, she couldn’t make up her mind for a while, so she asked her maid to find Ling JingshuCousin Yan, what’s going on?”
Ling Jingshu shot a glance and inquired with a smile
Ling Jingshu told the whole story, then sighed with a headache, “No one else was present at the time, just the two of them
Both said that it was the other who accidentally broke the porcelain bowl, and after half a day of bickering, I couldn’t understand for a while”
Ling Jingshu raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, “This matter is actually very easy to resolve, don’t say anything first, I’ll ask a few questions and it will be clear”
Seeing that Ling Jingshu had a plan, Ling Jingyan couldn’t help but widen her eyes in curiosity
Ling Jingshu walked forward and looked down at the two boys kneeling on the ground, “Who actually broke these two porcelain bowls?”Back to cousin miss, it was him who broke them”Miss Cousin, you mustn’t believe his words, it was clearly him who broke the porcelain bowls, and he insisted on relying on the lackeys”
Surprisingly, you and I argued again
Ling Jingshu’s face turned cold, and she let out a cold laugh, “You two tricky lackeys, clamoring and bickering here, you don’t put the master in your eyes at all
There is no need to ask about this matter
The two bowls that were broken, you two will each pay for one”
The two juniors, one of them was full of grievances and cried out unjustly, while the other one’s eyes flashed with a hint of joy and quickly followed suit
Ling Jingshu was too lazy to look at the two men and said to Ling Jingyan, “Cousin Yan, things are already clear, it was this unruly slave who broke the bowl”
A long, slender finger pointed at the bluffing boy
Just now, she intentionally spoke out to test the waters, and when the boy who broke the bowl heard that he would only be responsible for paying for half of it, his heart was glad, so he revealed his traces
Ling Jingyan also understood at this time, and angrily walked up and scolded, “What a tricky and cunning lackey!
If it wasn’t for A Shu coming over, I would have almost been fooled
Someone come, drag him down and beat him ten times with a plate, so that he will learn a lesson”
That boy was dragged out amidst the cries
Ling Jingyan’s heart smoothed out quite a bit, and she looked at Ling Jingshu admiringly, and was a bit frustrated and chagrined, “Ah Shu, am I stupid!
I can’t even handle this little matter”
Ling Jingshu smiled and pacified, “How could that be
You just didn’t think of it in the heat of the moment”You don’t have to comfort me
I know that I am far less intelligent and resourceful than you”
Ling Jingyan spoke sullenly
Ling Jingshu held Ling Jingyan’s hand and smiled faintly, “Cousin Yan, I have actually always envied you
You’re lively and lovely with a pure heart that pleases people, your great uncles love you very much, and your cousins treat you extremely well”
Whether a person is happy or not has little to do with being smart or not
She was burdened with a heavy past and hatred, and as long as she hadn’t gotten her revenge, she couldn’t show her face
Ling Jingyan was the one who was truly happy
Daily live happily, the biggest worry is just what clothes to wear tomorrow what jewelry to wear
Such a leisurely and comfortable life is unattainable for her
