Chapter 488 Transformation
Madam Wu turned to look at the old woman, and after a long while, she looked up again at the outside.
The sky was cloudless and clear, with swaying sugarcane fields in the distance and the shimmering blue sea further on.
Yes, the boat has already passed, the capital and the Wu family are all things of the past. Does she still want to trap herself in them?
Considering that Aunt Xu and Madam Wu had traveled a long way, Lin Chang'er did not invite anyone to sit around the table for lunch. Instead, she prepared some fine food and planned to send it to their room.
The old hen soup was simmered for a long time at the small canteen, according to Old Mrs. Bai. She said that this was how it was done in the capital, where wealthy families only drank the soup and didn't eat the meat.
Lin Chang'er wasn't worried. She shredded the chicken into strips and made a cold dish. Not only the workers in the workshop and sugarcane field, but even the little kids in the elementary school loved it.
The dishes are carefully balanced, with a good mix of meat and vegetables, and even the number of dishes is carefully considered.
Of course, Lin Chang'er didn't intend to keep things so meticulous. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so it was time to let the two of them integrate.
However, since they were newcomers and might not be used to the local environment, we decided to follow their dietary habits first.
She had already discussed it with Wu Qingfeng beforehand, and that when he came, she would explain things clearly to Madam Wu to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.
As for Aunt Xu, she had Yan Qing tell her early in the morning that she would eat whatever everyone else was eating, without being picky.
After a quick makeover, Aunt Xu even asked Yan Qing to bring her to the kitchen to help.
Aunt Xu did not bring any servants with her. Lin Chang'er also asked Lin Yanqing about it. Lin Yanqing said that when Aunt Xu agreed to come back with him, she said that she came to live a different life. Therefore, before they left, she returned all the dowry contracts to them and gave them a severance payment, telling them to live their lives well.
She tried her best to fit in, and Lin Chang'er naturally accepted it happily.
It was when Lin Chang'er was preparing a food box for Madam Wu that Madam Wu's personal maid came to find her.
Although she had served the mistress of a noble family for many years, the old nanny did not have the harshness she had seen in the movies or novels of her later life.
On the contrary, she was quite kind. She said, "Miss Lin, I shouldn't have bothered you, but this old woman is new to this place and is not familiar with it. That's why I asked you. My wife wants to have some comfortable clothes made. Does the young lady have any shops you can recommend?"
Lin Chang'er paused, then asked her, "Convenient clothes? What kind do you want?"
This question stumped the old woman. The madam hadn't said what it was like, but her gaze swept over Aunt Gu and the others.
The Gu family's wealth could not compare to that of the prominent families in the capital, but in this small world, they were still quite wealthy.
The Gu family's clothing was neither extravagant nor shabby, and it was highly likely that it was the work of this Miss Lin.
Since the lady intends to reside here permanently, this standard of preparation is just right.
The old woman made up her mind and said with a smile, "It's just like what you girls usually wear."
Lin Chang'er was slightly surprised, thinking to herself that no matter how unfavored Madam Wu was, she was still the matriarch of a prominent family. How could she lack anything in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities?
This can be seen from Wu Qingfeng's usual dressing habits and Madam Wu's behavior today.
Did Madam Wu really approve of the fabrics they were wearing?
Seeing that she didn't speak, the old woman took her hand and pulled her aside, whispering, "To be honest, my lady has never lacked anything, whether she was a young girl at home or a married woman. However, now that she has left that den of wolves and tigers, she should have a new look, don't you think?"
