But Lin Jinrong, mother and daughter, were walking to their residence. Not far away, they saw Lu Yan and Changshou standing by the road, holding the leaves of a maple tree to look at them. Seeing them coming, he loosened the branches of the maple tree and bowed his head in salute.
: "Third aunt, fourth sister."
Lin Jinrong didn't look at him and just bowed his head in return. Tao said in a rather affectionate manner: "Have you eaten? Why don't you go take a shower and change clothes?"
Lu Yan smiled and said: "Eat. Thank you third aunt for your concern."
Mrs. Tao understood the last sentence in a drawn-out tone. She had no idea what Tao Shunqin had brought to Lu Mian, so she asked Mother Gong to send it to her carefully. She thanked her and didn't mention it. What she didn't expect was that he actually returned it.
He waited here alone to bow to her and thank her. I have to say that she felt very happy, so she smiled and said, "Hurry up and take a shower and change clothes. Let's go first."
Lu Yan just smiled, said nothing else, bowed deeply, and turned to leave.
It is quiet in the mountains, and the courtyard arranged for everyone in the temple is close to the back mountain. It is extremely elegant and quiet. The only inconvenience is that there are too many people here this time, and it is the peak season for offering incense, so there are not so many rooms in the temple.
Let them live, so the female relatives of the Lin family all lived in the same courtyard.
Lin Jinrong went back to the room and lay down for a while, then got up to take a bath and change clothes, then called Mrs. Tao to get up, and sat in front of the window waiting for Mrs. Tao to clean up. At this time, the masters had already gotten up from their lunch break, and you could see the maid carrying the
Water and basins were flowing back and forth in the middle of the yard. I could vaguely hear someone knocking on Lin Wu's door next door, saying angrily: "Miss Wu, it's time to get up."
Li Zhi then whispered to Lin Jinrong: "It's pomegranate. The fifth girl's temper is too big. If you feel angry, just do it at home. Why go out and show it to others? Look at what she said before at the dinner table.
, it’s simply bad. Why didn’t the girl explain a few words at that time?”
Lin Jinrong said: "The hairpins are all bought from Qingzhou, or from a store. They are fair and aboveboard. What do you want me to explain? Do you want me to say that I picked them all?" Some things cannot be explained clearly.
, the more she explained, the more complicated it became. Besides, who here at the time was qualified to ask her to explain?
Suddenly, he saw Luo Shi walking in quickly with Nanny Cui from outside. Although the late autumn day was not cold, it was not hot either. But her face was flushed, as if she was very hot, and she hurried in while fanning her handkerchief.
, even the girl and the mother-in-law ignored her salutes and said hello, she quickly entered her room and kept asking for hot water. Not long after the water was brought in, she heard a muffled sound, and a girl who was soaked all over was crying and raising her face.
He walked out with an empty bucket, and then the door of the twins' room next door was opened. Lin Liu, who had already changed his clothes, walked out quickly, entered Luo Shi's house, and closed the door tightly. Not long after, the window was opened a crack,
It seemed like someone was looking inside.
Lin Jinrong quickly stepped aside. Seeing her movement, Tao asked curiously: "What's wrong? What was so loud just now?"
Lin Jinrong whispered: "Second aunt has just come back from outside. She is still wearing the same clothes as before. It seems that the girl who delivered water just now did something wrong." Her mood was quite heavy. Luo Shi was rejected, and she would definitely be upset.
, but with Yang's temperament, she will not be too embarrassed. Then, the person who can make Luo so angry should be Lin Yuzhen. Lin Yuzhen is more concerned about face than anything else, and she is easy to anger people. Luo is afraid that she has taken advantage of Lin Yuzhen's anger.
.Lin Jinrong was extremely worried for a moment, fearing that there would be another unhappiness between Luo Shi and Lin Yuzhen, and something unexpected would happen again.
Mrs. Tao didn't see Lin Jinrong's eyes filled with worry for a moment, but instead became more interested: "Did she curse? Did she look very angry?" Then she went to the window to watch the excitement.
"There are people watching in the window opposite. It's not good for them to see us watching." Lin Jinrong held her hand and whispered casually: "I didn't hear the curse, but the girl was soaked, and it looked like the second aunt was too.
Urgent and hot."
Mother Gong laughed: "That's the disadvantage of living in the same courtyard. You have to be careful in everything you do. If you don't pay attention, everyone will look at you."
Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "How fun it is. It's rare to have such an opportunity in a few years. Anyway, we are not afraid of others seeing or hearing." The master and servant both looked at each other and laughed. Luo Shi must have asked for it.
It's boring, maybe Lin Yuzhen is also angry with her. What does it mean to please someone badly, turn around and get bitten by a dog? Luo Shi must have tasted it today.
Someone knocked lightly on the door, and Chun Ya opened the door, but it was Mrs. Zhou who stood at the door with Nanny Xu: "Have everything been packed up? It's almost time. It's said that the front is the cleanest at this time, and there won't be anyone.
Excuse me, do you want to go?"
Mrs. Tao smiled and said: "Everything is packed, just waiting for the two sisters-in-law." Pointing towards Luo's house: "It seems that the second sister-in-law hasn't packed it yet?"
"Didn't you hear her voice just now? I thought she had already put it away, why haven't you seen her yet?" Mrs. Zhou called Aunt Xu, "Go and urge the second wife, the sixth and seventh girls."
As expected, Aunt Xu went to knock on Luo's door, only to hear the sound of water inside. Lin Liu said through the window: "It will be ready soon. Please wait for a while, eldest aunt and third aunt."
Mrs. Zhou then turned around and said to Mrs. Tao: "My Azhi is not feeling well, and I'm afraid she won't be able to get up. I just asked someone to make some ginger soup for her to drink, and asked her to cover her hands to make her sweat." Then she talked to Lin Jinrong.
Said: "Your fifth sister has been a bit weird recently. If she does something wrong or says something wrong, I would like you to tolerate her for the sake of your sister." This means that you already know what Lin Wu said at the dinner table just now.
Performance.
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "Don't worry, eldest aunt, I will make way for you."
Mrs. Zhou nodded and chatted with Mrs. Tao, her voice getting smaller and smaller: "Do you think this can be done? You are close to the Wu family, so I think you know best."
Mrs. Tao obviously knew the answer, but she still pretended not to know: "How do I know? They are of similar talent and appearance, so they will probably succeed? When I left earlier, I saw the second sister-in-law and Mrs. Wu talking together. I must have mentioned it already?
Why don’t you ask your second sister-in-law?”
Zhou smiled and did not express his opinion or say that he wanted to ask.
Mrs. Tao thought to herself, this courtyard is as big as a palm. Do I know that Luo Shi came in and lost his temper? How could you not know? You obviously want to know the truth. You don't ask yourself but you coax me to ask, so I won't ask.
, I'm so worried! So I smiled and said nothing. But I thought, it seems that Mrs. Zhou still resents Lin Yuzhen for not wanting Lin Wu, and is waiting to see the joke.
After a while, the door to the opposite room opened, and Luo Shi led Lin Liu out neatly, with a happy look on his face. Zhou glanced at Tao, but saw Tao looking at her too.
, had no intention of asking, so he coughed and said, "Let's go when everyone is here."
Lin Jinrong quietly looked at the expressions of Lin Liu and Lin Qi, but saw that there was nothing unusual on Lin Qi's face. He was looking around happily. Although Lin Liu's expression was a bit serious, he couldn't see anything wrong, so he looked around again.
He breathed out lightly.
As they walked, they met Mrs. Yang and her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu and Wu Ling came from another side road, and there was a shout of hello. Mrs. Tao observed carefully, but saw that although Mrs. Luo was smiling, she was not.
He turned his eyes away, refusing to look at Yang. Yang was also smiling, with a very affectionate expression, but he did not look at Luo, and the two of them did not talk directly.
Tao couldn't help but think that it was a good thing that she didn't get involved in this matter. No matter how kind-hearted Yang was and how unwilling to offend others, she couldn't be vague when it came to this kind of thing. And no matter how thick-skinned Luo and Lin Yuzhen were, they would not be able to offend others.
If you are self-righteous, you will be very embarrassed when someone rejects a marriage proposal. Even if you pretend to be okay on the surface for the sake of family friends, you will never be as close as before behind your back.
Ms. Yang didn't want to ruin the friendship between the family, and just wanted to try her best to ignore the matter, so she took the initiative to chat with Mr. Zhou and Mr. Tao. Everyone chatted and walked for a while, only to see Lin Yuzhen with a sullen face.
Leading Lu Yun to walk in front. Lin Yuzhen walked quickly, and Lu Yun followed in small steps, holding her sleeve tightly and whispering something. Aunt Fang and the two girls followed slowly behind, looking at each other.
Nose and mind.
Lin Liu was the first to call out to Lu Yun.
Lu Yun turned around and said in surprise: "Hey, when did you arrive? My mother and I were talking, but I didn't even hear the footsteps." Then he greeted everyone in turn, with a calm expression and a bright smile.
However, Lin Jinrong saw with keen eyes that Lu Yun had applied a layer of powder, but earlier, she had not used any powder. At this moment, Lin Jinrong really admired her. She had just encountered such a thing, and she could still keep her face and smile.
Appear in front of everyone with ease.
Mrs. Yang exchanged glances with Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Wu took the initiative to say hello to Lin Yuzhen: "Why don't you see your second wife?"
Lin Yuzhen covered up the anger in her eyes, her face turned red, and she smiled reluctantly: "She said she had a headache, so let's go first. She will get up early tomorrow to burn incense." She looked at the tree on the side,
Refuses to look at anyone.
Mrs. Zhou had already guessed the result. She felt that she had done it too obviously and was not as generous as the Wu family. It would be difficult for the others to wait, so she played the role of the eldest sister-in-law and handed the steps to Lin Yuzhen: "What is it?"
It's late autumn, and I accidentally caught a cold. My Azhi also caught a cold, and I just had someone make some ginger soup. I'll give her a bowl here. Would you like me to drink a bowl too?"
"No, thank you sister-in-law, I'm fine." Lin Yuzhen laughed dryly, then suddenly turned her head and glared at Mr. Tao who was talking to Mr. Yang.
Mrs. Tao was stared at incomprehensibly, and she couldn't help but think to herself, you can't see the facts clearly. No one wants your daughter, so why should you blame me? I'm still here to make peace with you, but you want to glare at me? So she didn't do anything.
He glared back politely.
Lin Yuzhen's face turned blue with anger at her glare. Seeing that the momentum was not going well, Lin Jinrong quickly stepped in between them, blocking the two men's eyes that wanted to eat each other up.
Luo Shi looked on coldly, then picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his lips.
