It was getting dark, the guests gradually dispersed, and the last female guest was sent away. Mrs. Wu was helped back to the room by her two daughters. She was obviously exhausted, but she was still in high spirits. She discussed with Mr. Tao enthusiastically: "I don't know what happened."
Where is the girl hiding? I heard from my servants that they never saw the trickster bring the girl in or take her out..."
Before Tao could answer, she heard Wu Xiang laughing outside the door: "Aunt, you don't know something, it's ventriloquism!" Immediately afterwards, Tao Fengju held Lin Shenzhi's hand, and Wu Xiang and Lu Yan walked in together.
Wu Xiang smiled and sat next to Wu, and continued: "We met in Taiming Mansion. That female voice came from that man..."
At this time, no one had come to Qingzhou and Pingzhou had performed ventriloquism. Everyone was amazed. Lin Jinrong curiously asked Wu Xiang: "Ventriloquism? Is it really coming from the belly?"
Wu Xiang touched his head: "I don't know. I asked the trickster afterwards and even though he was offered a lot of money, he refused to tell me."
Tao Fengqing then smiled and said: "You can't sell a guy who eats for nothing. Only if you are too busy will you waste your energy."
Lin Shenzhi was puzzled: "How can a sound be made from the belly? Is there a mouth hidden inside?"
Tao Fengju then laughed at him: "I don't know if other people's stomachs can make noises, but yours, little seventh brother, can definitely do it." He puffed up his cheeks and made a few sounds like "jigu, jigu", which was similar to the growling of his stomach, which made Lin Shenzhi angry.
He blushed and chased after him, making everyone laugh.
Wu Xiang looked at Lu Yan, who was sitting silently beside him, cleared his throat and said, "Aunt, Lu Yan just said outside that he was going back to Pingzhou. I tried to persuade him to join us, but he refused..."
The implication was that Wu would help keep Lu Ming alive.
Mrs. Wu once heard Tao Shunqin mention the purpose of Lu Yan's trip to Qingzhou. Seeing that he was leaving before the matter was clear, she couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Since you are here, stay a few more days. I have been too busy these two days to entertain him properly."
You, I will ask Fengtang to take you for a walk tomorrow? Go with your uncle and aunt."
Lin Shenzhi and Tao Fengju stepped forward to persuade Lu Jin. Lin Shenzhi even invited him: "Second cousin, you can live with me."
When Lu Yan heard this, he smiled and gently stroked the top of his head, neither saying yes nor bad.
But Tao didn't want Lu Yan to go with him. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for three years. If Lu Yan really followed his family back to Pingzhou, who knows what kind of madness Lin Yuzhen would go like.
Maybe she would say crazy things like abduction, etc. Wouldn't that make her sick to death in vain? But in this situation, she had to show something. After a moment of hesitation, she also advised: "Come with us.
There was someone to take care of you on the way. If your third uncle knew about it, he wouldn't allow you to go home alone." I persuaded you, and you stayed, but my tone sounded a bit perfunctory and reluctant.
Lin Jinrong sat behind Tao Fengxiang and smiled slightly. Mr. Tao finally realized that this person was easily infected. Thanks to Mr. Lin San, he was still drinking with Tao Shunqin and Tao Fengtang outside with a few familiar guests, otherwise he would be here,
It is necessary to keep Lu silently.
Lu Yan was always sensitive, so he naturally heard the subtleties in this. He lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then smiled softly: "Thank you to the two elders for their care and retention, but my nephew has been out for a long time, and the elders in the family will inevitably be worried... Tomorrow
My nephew is leaving very early in the morning. It's too early, so I won't come here to disturb the peace of the elders. I'm here to say goodbye to you all." He didn't say much, but his tone was very firm, and he bowed deeply after finishing his words.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Mrs. Wu also knew that Lin Yuzhen was difficult to deal with. Since Mrs. Tao was unwilling, Mrs. Wu would not persuade her, so she went along with the situation, expressed her regrets, and invited him to come and play in the future.
"Then be careful on the road." Mrs. Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the child had eyes. After thinking about it, she felt a little sorry, so she quickly added a few words to show her concern: "How are you going back? It must be...
If you don’t have a carriage or horse, how about I send two people to follow you on the road?"
Lu Yan smiled and said: "Thank you for your third aunt's kindness. I don't have many things and I have a horse. It will be more convenient and faster for me and Changshou to ride back." Then he bowed to everyone one by one and said goodbye. After walking, he came to Lin Jinrong.
In front of me, I hesitated for a moment and bowed my head gently: "Fourth sister, thank you very much."
Thank her? He said goodbye to everyone else, so why should he thank her? Lin Jinrong had some bad premonitions. He raised his eyes and looked over, but when he saw Lu Mian seriously arching his hands and lowering his eyes to salute him, he said
He turned aside to avoid the gift and smiled faintly: "Second cousin, you are so polite. If you are right, you will not be rewarded for your merits. I cannot afford your gifts and thanks."
Lu Yan gave her a faint smile in return: "You can afford it." Then he bowed and went down. After the salute, he nodded slightly to the other people in the room, turned around and strode away. Wu Xiang hurriedly chased him out: "
I'll give it to you..."
Tao Fengxiang saw Lin Jinrong frowning and looking puzzled, so he joked: "Now no one is looking at you, aren't you happy?"
Lin Jinrong whispered: "You said he was so good, why did he come to thank me?" It's not because the Lu family can do this business, right? But who is he like that? No, what is that? Yes
Ask around at another time.
Tao Fengxiang didn't know that Lu Yan had begged Tao Fengtang and Tao Shunqin. Although he found it strange, he didn't take it seriously. He laughed and said, "Who knows? Maybe if you embarrass him, he will feel comfortable and understand something, so
I want to thank you!" Before he finished speaking, he saw extreme disgust and anger flashing in Lin Jinrong's eyes. He couldn't help but jumped, quickly stopped, clapped his mouth and said: "I can't hold back my words, I don't dare to say anything nonsense.
Don't argue with me."
Lin Jinrong was gloomy for a moment, then said: "Forget it, I won't argue with you this time."
Tao Fengxiang did not dare to speak anymore, and sat carefully next to her, Xiao Yier offered water and fruit to please her, but Lin Jinrong was amused by her and laughed: "Why bother."
But she heard Mrs. Tao say: "Nanny, come here, let me ask you, what is going on between you and Fan Wu'er today? You have so many clothes, how could she choose that one?" After getting angry,
After thinking about it carefully, she realized it.
Lin Jinrong walked over calmly, sat next to Mr. Tao, and said with a smile: "Didn't my mother ask me to give her a beautiful new dress in return? She fell in love with that dress and the new ones together at a glance.
, I told her that I had worn it and asked her to pick out new ones, but she didn’t want it, she just wanted this one, and said she would wash it and return it to me when I got back.” I didn’t mention anything else.
It's obviously a polite word after she's washed it. It's common sense for a concubine who doesn't go out and is not favored to ask for new clothes. She wants to covet some used clothes that are not old, but even if she doesn't understand the preciousness of materials.
, when you see a belt, you should know that it is of great value, even if it is an ordinary belt? He wears it out in such a grand manner, and he is still complacent, but he still has no eyes and short-sightedness. Tao still felt unhappy and asked again
: "Why did you pour tea on her?"
She was going to frame Fan Wuer to the end today. Lin Jinrong said frankly: "I did it on purpose. On the surface, she looked honest and honest, not daring to raise her head, but she secretly stepped on the Sun girl's skirt under the table and kicked her from time to time.
People just pretended that they didn’t do it on purpose.”
Tao Fengxiang wanted to take away the blame and quickly interjected: "No wonder, as soon as she went back to the Sun family, my sister-in-law left and couldn't keep her. Think about it, if I have a bad temper, I will always be stepped on my skirt and kicked
Kick it, why don’t I embarrass Fan Wuer on the spot? That would really fall into her trap."
Although Mrs. Wu also felt that what Lin Jinrong said was very shocking and unbelievable, she also glared at Tao Fengxiang, meaning who wanted her to talk too much. Tao Fengxiang pouted, lowered her head and hid behind Tao Fengqing.
.
The Sun family's sister-in-law did have an angry look on her face when she left, but she thought it was because she didn't like Sun Hongli, but she didn't expect that there would be such a thing later. But think about it, it was also the first time that Lin Jinrong and Fan Wu'er met.
She has no grievances and no grudges these days. She is not the kind of person who will provoke and harm others for no reason. It is true if you think about it. Then this girl really has a character problem and cannot be taken away no matter what. Tao is one head and two big: "
Why are they all inefficient lamps?”
Lin Jinrong chuckled and said, "I also heard others talking about the dowries of his concubines. Forget it, I won't talk behind anyone's back. Anyway, there is definitely something wrong with this person's character."
Mrs. Tao hurriedly said: "Forget it, stop talking and go down." Then he looked back at Mrs. Wu with a look of helplessness and helplessness. This meant that he wanted to discuss the matter with Mrs. Wu again.
Lin Jinrong didn't believe that Tao Fengxiang knew that Mrs. Fan was a person who didn't suffer losses. Did Wu know that she could only do this for the time being, so she and Tao Fengxiang smiled at each other and retreated hand in hand.
Back in the room, Lizhi whispered: "Girl, why are you doing this?" Others didn't know, but she knew what happened. She really didn't understand why Lin Jinrong was so disgusted with Fan Wuer.
Lin Jinrong stared at himself in the mirror and answered the question: "Lizhi, today I finally understand what it means to have three people become a tiger and a crowd to win gold. No matter what I do or how I do it, you have to remember that in short, I am doing it for everyone."
good."
Lychee was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Lin Jinrong had a good night's sleep. At dawn, he ran to pay his respects to Mrs. Tao. At that time, Mrs. Tao and Mother Gong complained: "It's really like a poor dog. Others can meet a good family just by casually chatting about marriage. He is so good. He is next to me."
From Pingzhou to Qingzhou side by side, there is either one problem or another problem. How can you torment people like this?"
Mother Gong smiled apologetically and said, "Madam, please be patient. It's because you have a kind heart, so you want to choose a good one. If not, just choose a decent one."
Mrs. Tao sighed: "I'm afraid that I will be disgusted in the future. Forget it, let's take a look at the Sun girl again. If she can bear that tone, she might be a generous person. I don't know if her family still has it.
Are you willing?"
Lin Jinrong knew that Fan Wuer would not succeed, so he couldn't help laughing: "Mom, you won't know until you try."
After a while, the Wu family sent Mother Song over to say that someone from the Fan family had come to return Lin Jinrong's belt, but they didn't mention returning the dress. In fact, they just wanted to inquire about Tao's intentions. Tao was disgusted.
He said, "It's a shock to her!" Then he threw the belt to Li Zhi and said, "Tear down the silver thread and rice beads and make a new one."
