While deep in thought, Lin Jinrong suddenly turned around, and their eyes inevitably met. Lu Yan was about to smile at her, but Lin Jinrong looked away expressionlessly, and never looked back again.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then raised his eyes again to look at the glowing mountains in front of him. He looked at it carefully and fascinated, and did not blink for a long time. Until one of the twins came over and shouted softly.
"Ayun..." He just turned around and saw the girl wearing a silver-red satin cloak looking at Lu Yun carefully, her care was beyond words. When he looked over, she smiled shyly and sweetly at him, Shui Jingyu
Her earrings swayed gently beside her ears, reflecting the vivid cinnabar on her left earlobe.
Finally seeing clearly, this was Lin Liu. Lu Yan took a deep breath, turned his head quickly, grabbed the railing in front of him tightly, and looked at the red leaves all over the mountain harder and harder, refusing to look back until his eyes were sore.
An imperceptible trace of disappointment flashed across Lin Liu's face, and he turned back to look at Lu Yun with concern. Lu Yun smiled gently and relaxedly. Seeing her gentle smile, Lin Liu reached out to hold her hand, but was struck by the coldness of her palm.
Ru Shi was shocked. As soon as he raised his eyes to look at Lu Yun's face, Lu Yun broke free of his hand. Lu Yun in the shadow lowered his eyes and stared at the stone under his feet, and the corners of his lips that were still upturned didn't have time to retract.
, but his face was already filled with anger.
Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, took a step back, quietly took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the cold sweat from Lu Yun's hands, but the cold and wet feeling lingered, making people very uncomfortable.
Lin Wu watched coldly, curled his lips sarcastically, turned around and left: "It's almost time, it's time to go down the mountain." With her taking the lead, everyone quickly left the viewing platform, divided into two groups, and went directly to the dining hall.
Go have breakfast.
Before Yang and others came, the female relatives of the Lin and Lu families were sitting in the dining hall. As soon as Lin Jinrong entered the dining hall, she felt that the atmosphere was wrong. Lin Yuzhen covered her face with frost, holding a cup of tea in both hands, and stared coldly from time to time.
Sitting below her was Luo Shi, who was also holding a cup of tea, drinking it slowly, looking around nonchalantly, not looking at Lin Yuzhen, with a calm expression.
Mrs. Lu's second wife, Mrs. Song, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Tao also remained silent. They each looked at the table in front of them as if there was a flower on the table. Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. Zhou raised her head and coughed lightly: "
Are you all here? Do you look good?" Then everyone put aside the expressions on their faces, looked up at the girls and smiled.
"It looks good." Lin Jinrong and others took their seats one after another. Wu Ling asked curiously: "Hey, why haven't my mother, aunt, and sister-in-law come yet?"
Just as she was talking, Mrs. Yang and others appeared at the door. Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "I knew you were having fun for a while, so I slept a little longer. It's rare that I wasn't at home and no one was watching." She said nicely,
But everyone knew that it was actually to avoid Lin Yuzhen as much as possible, so they all showed a dry smile in cooperation.
After a while, everyone finished their breakfast quietly, boarded the sedan and went home.
After entering Pingzhou City, the three families sent people to say goodbye to each other and went back to their respective homes. But when the sedan stopped again and Lin Jinrong got out of the sedan, she discovered that Lin Yuzhen was standing at the second door of the Lin family. She did not go back with the Lu family.
Instead, he followed the Lin family back to his parents' home alone. The purpose is self-evident.
At this time, Luo Shi's face finally looked a little bad, and he rushed off the sedan, without looking at anyone, and quickly entered the second door with his head raised. Lin Yuzhen shook her handkerchief, and quickly followed her in with her head raised.
The twins looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
"Third brothers and sisters, let's go together to say hello to the old lady?" Mrs. Zhou winked at Mrs. Tao, which meant that there would be a good show soon, so hurry up and watch the show. Everyone comes back together and goes to say hello together. This is the right thing, but
I didn't mean to follow you to watch the fun.
Mrs. Tao had already stepped out, but was grabbed by Lin Jinrong again. Lin Jinrong shook his head firmly at her, and his voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for everyone to hear: "Mom, your hair is a bit messy, let's go back to the room to freshen up first, and then
Go and say hello to grandma."
When Mrs. Zhou smiled, she stopped teasing Mrs. Tao and entered the door together with Lin Wu.
Lin Jinrong supported Mrs. Tao and walked slowly behind. After turning two corners, there was no one else around. Lin Jinrong said softly: "Mom, one of them is my grandmother's daughter, and the other is my grandmother's niece. This matter
Let grandma take care of it. If grandma wants to find you, someone will call you. I guess even though aunt asks you to go, she won't go alone."
Mrs. Tao said: "I'm worried that your second aunt will say bad things about me behind my back again."
Lin Jinrong shook his head gently: "Mom, you can't help it. Even if you go, she won't say it in front of you right now, she will say it behind your back. Why don't you stop quietly and wait until they have had enough noise and fuss, what's the matter?
Say it again."
Mrs. Tao sighed: "Yes. The Wu family and I are related, so it's better not to listen to some words, so as not to hold my breath."
Back in the room, Lin Jinyin came over after hearing the news. The mother and daughter sorted things out, calculated that it was almost time, and then went to Anle Hall to pay their respects. On the way, they saw Mr. Zhou leading Lin Wu and laughed.
Mrs. Zhou held her child in her arms, and the whole family came over smiling, talking and laughing as they walked. Mrs. Zhou didn't look like she had just come out of Anletang.
Lin Jinrong whispered: "I just said that eldest aunt will never go to Anletang alone."
Mrs. Tao pursed her lips and smiled, then stepped forward to greet Ms. Zhou: "Sister-in-law, I wonder what's going on over there at Anletang?"
Zhou didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She stroked her temples, raised her eyes and glanced at the eldest grandson in Xi's arms. She smiled calmly and said, "I don't know. After I separated from you, I just took a few steps over there."
, I heard that the child came to me and cried so much that I had to quickly ask someone to talk to the old lady and run to see the grandson. I finally coaxed the child and changed and washed him, and now it’s here."
"Yes, as a grandmother, you naturally have more things to do." Mrs. Tao smiled knowingly, and the two sisters-in-law sought common ground while reserving their differences, and walked to the Anle Hall together, arm in arm with each other affectionately.
Entering Anle Hall, she was told that Mrs. Lin was not feeling well and had already laid down, so she did not need to visit each room or hospital to greet her. Mrs. Zhou pondered for a moment and asked Qingli in a low voice: "Have you invited the doctor? Have you taken any medicine?"
Did you tell me what you want to eat tonight?"
Qingli smiled and said: "The old lady has already taken medicine. She told me not to ask a doctor, and she doesn't want to eat at night..."
"That's it, then you have to serve the old lady carefully and carefully, keep the fire ready at all times, and cook and serve whatever you want to eat immediately." After expressing her care and filial piety, Mrs. Zhou asked again: "Where is my aunt? Is this necessary?
It’s dinner time…”
Qingli said in surprise: "My aunt has left long ago, doesn't the eldest lady know?"
"I don't know." Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Tao exchanged glances, and a group of people bowed outside Anle Hall and left quietly. They each used their men to inquire about the situation without mentioning anything.
When it was time to hold the lamp, Mother Gong came back and reported: "Madam, I can't find out the details of this matter. The old lady gave a strict order, if anyone wants to spread a word to others, she will smash them all and sell them. I only know that my aunt
The wife cried as soon as she entered the door. Then the old lady sent someone to call the second wife, kicked everyone out, and closed the door tightly. After struggling in there for nearly half an hour, the aunt came out first, wiping her tears.
Nearly half an hour passed before the second wife came out holding on to the wall. It was Qingli who helped her back. Her legs and feet seemed to have some inconvenience."
Mrs. Tao covered her mouth and laughed: "You have trouble with your legs and feet? Are you kneeling all the time? She deserves it! She was rejected when she was rejected. No one can blame her. She has to bring up so many things unkindly.
I say, this kind of duplicitous person who spreads evil everywhere should be punished again."
From that day on, Luo Shi did not appear in front of everyone for half a month. He said to the outside world that there was a cool breeze blowing from Fengchi Mountain, and he felt cold and wanted to rest. He did not see guests, and he would not go to the big room or the third room.
They disturbed her and let her rest. Mrs. Lin returned to her normal schedule the next morning. When saying goodbye, the twins went to the old lady as usual to join in the fun, acting coquettishly and acting like crazy. They met Mr. Tao, Mr. Zhou and others.
Qi's face was still a little ugly, but Lin Liu's expression was impeccable.
On the contrary, Mr. Tao and Mr. Zhou have become much closer than before after this incident. Although one is still on guard against the other, they can often talk to each other and do sewing at home, and even make an appointment to see each other.
Lin Yizhi’s marriage.
This marriage was chosen by Mr. Lin San himself. Earlier, he was angry with Tao about Sun Hongli and said that he did not want Tao to interfere with Lin Yizhi's marriage. When he came back, he hired someone to inquire around. Unknown
What tricks did this family use to catch Lin Jinrong's eye? After he made the decision, he asked Tao to come and see him. Tao wanted to show him off, but in order to facilitate Lin Jinrong's engagement earlier, he had to feel aggrieved and decided to see her.
If it's no big deal, that's it.
The other party was the daughter of a wealthy squire named Ping near Pingzhou City, named Rong'er. Her family was simple, with both parents. She was the youngest daughter, with a married sister and two married brothers.
She is illiterate and has an average female beauty, but she is the legitimate daughter (of course he does not have any concubines). She has a good appearance and clear speech. She is about the same age as Lin Yizhi. Although the dossier cannot be compared with that of the wealthy families in Hepingzhou City, his family
The parents also said that the man would repay the girl as much as she could, and also gave her a dowry no less than that of the eldest daughter - four hundred acres of fertile farmland, one hundred acres of mountain fields full of trees, plus a shop and a complete set of furniture.
And jewelry.
Mrs. Tao had previously looked down upon such a marriage, but at this moment, Mrs. Tao silently calculated it in her mind and felt that it was not bad on the surface. As for the inner child, it was Mr. Lin San who chose her anyway, no wonder.
She then symbolically asked Mrs. Zhou what she meant, and Mrs. Zhou naturally said that it was true. After returning, Mrs. Tao took time to talk to Mrs. Lin about this family relationship. After hearing this, Mrs. Lin said calmly: "Since you
The third child and I both think it’s fine, and I don’t have anything to say. Go talk to your father-in-law, and if he says it’s okay, that’s it.”
But when he arrived at Old Mrs. Lin's place, Old Mrs. Lin felt a little disgusted. After thinking for a long time, he finally agreed.
