Li Yu sighed, the main reason is that the master is weak and the servant is strong, the master can't suppress the servant, as time goes by, he pinches the master's temper and acts recklessly.

   "It seems that I will not get involved."

  Mother Xu knelt down, "Young Mistress, I know you are a good person. You are the wife of the Gu family. I beg you, don't leave Madam behind. She is a bit weak, but she really has no evil intentions."

   "She was happier than anyone else when you entered the door. She cried and said to the old slave, I finally accomplished a good thing. The uncle should not be angry with me anymore. I am also happy that my son is satisfied. From now on, I will just care about my life."

"Young mistress, please take care of the yard. The dishes Madam ate before were all cold. I have no choice but to help in the kitchen. I have to watch after eating and drinking. I can only turn a blind eye to other things. It’s not a solution if the days are long.”

"Ma'am, if you don't fight or grab, you won't be respected. Now you have no money, and the dowry is given to the young master, so you can save some reward money yourself, but she doesn't care about others, and they all lie to her. If Madam is angry, she won't reward you for doing things, and the girls are even more unscrupulous."

  Nurse Xu is Gu Lin's dowry mother. She loves her very much, but she can only care for her.

   "Get up, I understand."

"yes."

   "Don't hold your breath, wait for me for a few days, and I'll make arrangements."

"yes."

   Li Yu ate the walnut cheese and waited for her mother-in-law to come back.

   After eating a bowl of dessert, Gu Lin came out of the Buddhist hall. During this period, there was no maid to exchange a cup of tea.

   "Yu'er, why are you here? How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you call me, Mommy?"

  When Gu Lin saw his daughter-in-law coming, he was all smiles.

"Mother, I come to talk to you when I have free time. I took a few calligraphy and paintings and asked you to copy them. Isn't our family planning to build an embroidery workshop? Selling decorations like kang screens can also make a lot of people work."

   "This is a good way, okay, I can do it, but it will take a long time, and if you want to do it, do it better, and you can't be sloppy."

  Gu Lin's calligraphy and painting are very brilliant. After years of hard work and his own age and experience, he is very good at painting.

   "That's right. I can't calm down. I have too many things to do, so I can only ask you to come."

   Li Yu spoke very politely, giving her mother-in-law face.

   "You are too busy, you have to take care of your body, don't be too tired, I will copy it for you, and you will be satisfied, it's just that the time is looser, I like this, I can't mess it up for you."

   Gu Lin is also very happy to help Li Yu.

   "Okay, mother, I also want to write hand-copied scriptures, praying for blessings and so on. I can do it. I will have someone embroider it later. The old man should like it."

   "Okay, I made a note."

   Gu Lin nodded happily.

  Li Yu talked with her mother-in-law for a while, and showed her the calligraphy, paintings and rare books that she had selected.

Li Yu has read thousands of volumes of books. He has a profound foundation and is not afraid of Gu Lin's questions. He has something to say and speaks clearly and logically. Gu Lin is full of praise and likes this daughter-in-law more and more. Why didn't he realize before that this daughter-in-law has real talents and real learning? good boy.

   After chatting for a while, Gu Lin was a little tired, and Li Yu asked her mother-in-law to rest before coming out.

   Before leaving, he glanced at the girls in the yard.

   After chatting in the room for more than an hour, no girl came in to pour a cup of tea or exchange a glass of water, but Madam Xu did it all.

  Okay, very good, I remember you guys, the dowry money will be halved.

   Turned around and went to Aunt Gu's yard.

  The third aunt made shoes in the house, making shoes for Gu Lei and his son Gu Xin and Gu Ping.

   "Third Aunt, I'm here to disturb you."

   "You are here, sit down quickly, where are you from?"

  The third aunt asked the maid to pour tea.

   "Come from my mother-in-law's yard, full of anger."

  Li Yu didn't hide it in front of the third aunt, and drank a cup of tea, his chest was wheezing with anger.

   "Hahaha, let the girl in the yard be angry."

  Third Aunt has a bright eye and a bright heart, and she guesses right.

Li Yu took a deep breath, "I sat there talking with my mother. I asked my mother to help me copy famous calligraphy and paintings to prepare for the embroidery workshop. For more than an hour, no girl came in to change a cup of tea for us. It was all Mammy Xu running around. , makes me angry..."

   "This is at Li's house. Now go to the second door to beat the board. I will beat them to death."

   Li Yu gritted his teeth angrily, it was too unruly.

  Third Aunt sighed, "Leizi beat it, and I did it too, but after all, your mother-in-law is too weak. After a few days, people can see that her character is weak and she can't hold her own. In two and a half days, she went to the house to expose the tiles."

  Li Yu pursed his lips and remained silent.

  The eldest girl Peony in front of Third Aunt came forward to deliver fruit, "Young Mistress, I need to talk too much."

"you say."

   "The lady is kind and weak. She doesn't like to fight with others. She has a character of letting go. She is not suitable for being in charge of the house. You have to hold the lifeline of the girl in the yard to obey. Let the lady hold it."

   "Our master is willing to think about his wife, but after all, she is a sister-in-law, and there are sons and daughter-in-laws in front of her. This is a bit out of bounds. Besides, they are all widows. If you stretch your hands too far, people will talk. There are many gossips in front of widows."

   "Slave has the guts to say that you are a daughter-in-law, and no one can speak in the care of your mother-in-law's yard. It is also a filial duty to speak out."

  Peony sees that Li Yu is a fair and upright person, and her master often praises her in various ways, so she dares to say one more thing, and the girl in that yard is indeed a bit bold and reckless, which is too much.

   It's all bullying to the master.

"I see."

   "Auntie, help me summon a few maids tomorrow, I will take them back and marry them on my own. I will stuff them in tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

  Li Yu thinks that her mother-in-law can't delay, if she delays any longer, maybe they dare to take Gu Lin's life.

   "Okay, I'll call someone over for you, do you want a dowry?"

   "Give it, give it directly, don't come back, you don't need to give it, they don't deserve this face, I'll just give a share for my mother, the rest is gone."

  Li Yu has a clear attitude. I should have given a share to her mother-in-law, but now it is gone. These girls are not worthy of the master to treat her well.

  Peony sighed, why bother to come, it was originally a good job, the eldest lady is neither competitive nor strict, and the master who is the best to serve, could have received a generous dowry.

   "It's okay, it's not suitable for too much movement now."

   "Hmph, there are a few old ladies who don't love their daughters. It's hard to say who they marry. If you bully my mother-in-law, don't blame me for letting go of them."

  It's not easy for daughters, these girls either choose a good family to marry, or the old lady decides.

  Most of them are families with sons. Their monthly records are taken away by their mothers, and they have nothing left. They rely on rewards to buy flowers and wears, so they bully Gu Lin and want to reward them.

  Lin Yue saw this, and when she came to visit her aunt every now and then, she gave a reward. She made money by herself, and she didn't dare to offend the girl, she would rather spend money to buy her aunt safe.

  Gu Lei is too busy. He comes here every now and then to take a look. He doesn't give rewards often. This time he met Li Yu, which is considered a slap in the face.
