Buddha-like Mrs. Lin
Chapter 27
She came to find her fiancé for a "date" but was caught by her future mother-in-law. Moreover, the other party clearly recognized her.
If she refused her future mother-in-law's request for a ride at this time, she would probably cry when she married into the Lin family.
When Mother Lin entered the carriage, Jia Su smiled at her and didn't say anything.
She didn't forget that in ancient times, if a woman so brazenly came to find her fiancé to travel together, people would criticize her.
If her impression of Lin Ruhai had not improved a lot, and she knew that he was not a person who cared about these red tape, and if she could still go out without exposing the existence of the rouge shop, or if she had used him as an excuse, Jia Shu would not have done such a thing that could cause rumors if people knew about it.
But Lin Ruhai wasn't here.
Mother Lin was.
She had just met Mother Lin not long ago. How could she be so stupid as to forget her future boss?
Fortunately, after Mother Lin got into the carriage, she didn't show any displeasure at her actions today.
The specifications of carriages were strictly regulated. The carriage used by an unmarried concubine's daughter like Jia Su was very simple and narrow. Even if she deliberately gave the most comfortable seat to Mother Lin and tried her best to reduce the space it occupied, she still couldn't avoid physical contact between the two.
Jia Su was fine, but Mother Lin had never sat in such a small carriage with anyone before. For a moment, her whole body felt uncomfortable.
After a while, Mother Lin adapted and looked at Jia Su with a smile: "Third Miss, did you come to find my son today?"
Jia Su looked calm on the surface, but in her heart, she was crazily shouting, "I'm coming, I'm coming."
She nodded and held her breath. Her face quickly turned red: "Because I heard that Eldest Sister and Second Sister opened a cosmetics shop, so I wanted to take a look.
I just happened to pass by the Lin family and wanted to ask after Young Master Lin. "
But she didn't expect that Lin Ruhai wasn't home.
After she finished speaking, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Mother Lin wasn't unhappy because Jia Su "didn't hide her concern for Lin Ruhai". Instead, she was very happy.
However, she quickly frowned. As a mother, discovering that her future daughter-in-law had deep feelings for her son was naturally something to be happy about. However, her son had made her own daughter-in-law sad, so Mother Lin couldn't help but feel distressed.
After all, she had experienced this kind of situation before, so she could empathize with Jia Su's feelings.
She simply pulled Jia Su's hand and patted it. "Third Miss, please don't blame me. When Ruhai comes back, I'll definitely teach him. He's about to be engaged, so he shouldn't run around all day."
Jia Su lowered his head and said softly, "Yes."
Lin Mu thought she was shy, so she patted her hand to comfort her.
When Lin Mu found out that the marriage candidate had been changed to a concubine's daughter, she was naturally unwilling at first. Even after she found out that her son was very satisfied with his fiancée, she couldn't help but feel worried.
He wasn't worried about the upbringing of a concubine's daughter.
She was still alive. She could teach the stewards and directors. She believed that she could teach them better than Madam Jia.
However, she was worried about Jia Su's temperament.
As the daughter of the first wife, how could she not know the temperament of her concubine-born sisters?
Most of them weren't very likable.
Before she got married, she learned from her mother that most of those concubine-born daughters were specially raised by the matriarchs to make it easier to control them after they got married.
The Lin family didn't have many children, so Lin Mu didn't have the opportunity to practice. However, she had seen many concubine-born daughters of large families when she went out to socialize over the years. She only felt that they weren't much different from her concubine-born sisters and couldn't bear the responsibility of being the head of the family.
Therefore, when she heard the gatekeeper announce that a Miss Jia had come, she disregarded etiquette and went out, even riding in the same carriage as the Third Miss Jia.
The results of her test were good. She didn't know anything else, but at least the Third Miss of the Jia family had a natural and unrestrained temperament and wasn't timid.
Jia Su also had her son's favor, so Lin Mu was naturally more satisfied with her.
At this moment, she remembered Jia Su's words and couldn't help but ask, "Your eldest sister and second sister opened a cosmetics shop?
Do they have any special recipes? "
Jia Su was stunned and looked at Lin Mu, "Auntie, don't you think this business …"
Without waiting for Jia Su to finish, Lin Mu smiled and waved her hand, "What's wrong with that?
In the future, when you marry into the family, you'll know. Although the Lin family is a scholarly family, Gusu's hometown has bought a lot of land and shops. Although the Lin family's business isn't as big as those merchants, it's still one of the top businesses in Gusu City. "
She seemed to be worried that Jia Su would look down on the merchants, so she earnestly taught, "Although the business of the merchants has been criticized by scholars, if you look carefully, don't those scholars have any business at all?
If that's the case, how can their little salary support a large family? "
"They just put the shops under the name of a servant or let the clansmen of the five servers help them manage the business. The house was impeached by the imperial censor, that's all."
Jia Su's expression immediately showed that she had learned something.
Lin Mu felt that Jia Su was smart and understood with just a hint, so she was even more satisfied with her.
Jia Su then began to talk about the cosmetics shop, "This cosmetics shop was opened by me, eldest sister, and second sister with money. There are also many secret recipes."
"Oh?" Lin Mu perked up.
Because Jia Su wanted to get closer, the two talked and laughed along the way, and their relationship improved a lot.
But when the carriage arrived at the street where the cosmetics shop was located, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Lin Mu looked out of the carriage window and saw that the street was blocked by carriages and people.
The people were still fine, as they could always find a way to leave.
But the carriages were huge, so they couldn't go any further after the road was blocked.
Jia Su hurriedly sent Cui Yan to inquire about the situation.
After a while, Cui Yan came back with a dazed expression on her face.
Chi Xia looked at her and slapped her head, "Cui Yan, Old Madam and Young Miss are still waiting for your reply!"
Cui Yan quickly regained her senses, "Reporting to Old Madam and Young Miss, this servant just went to the front to inquire and learned that most of these carriages belong to the madams and young misses of the capital.
They're all here to support Caizhuang Pavilion. "
Jia Su blinked, "Caizhuang Pavilion?" Wasn't her shop called Caizhuang Pavilion?
Cui Yan hurriedly nodded, "Because in addition to the madams and young misses who came in person, there were also many customers who only sent their servant girls and manservants to buy rouge and face powder. Caizhuang Pavilion's clerks were too busy, and the rouge and face powder were sold out twice, so they needed to get more from the warehouse. That's why there are so many carriages and people blocking the street."
Even though Jia Su had always been confident about Caizhuang Pavilion's sales, she was still a little confused at this time. Wasn't this business too good?
Lin Mu looked at Jia Su with a different kind of light in her eyes.
If a cosmetics shop could make so much money, even if the couple had several children in the future, they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough property to share.
