More than a year later, February 12th was the Flower Festival.
At this time, spring is in the middle of the season, with hundreds of flowers blooming. It is a good time to watch and play. According to the folk custom of this dynasty, on this day, men and women, regardless of whether they are scholars or common people, those who have the conditions will always go out to enjoy the flowers, or go to famous gardens to enjoy flowers and butterfly butterflies.
Have fun, or pick vegetables from the mountains and taste the fresh food.
The Lin family is no exception, but this year is different from previous years.
Because Lin Jinyin was about to give birth and Mrs. Wu was seriously ill, Ms. Tao planned to go to Qingliang Temple to give alms and pray for blessings. Although most people felt that the incense at Pingji Temple was more powerful and more effective, she always
They all remember that the situation she and her children were in was when Tao Shunqin was remodeling the Buddha statue in Qingliang Temple.
It was only after she got her golden body that she gradually got better. Therefore, at this unsettling moment, she wanted to go to Qingliang Temple, hoping to move the Buddha with her sincerity and bless Lin Jinyin, mother and son, for their safety, and that the Wu family could gradually
Things are getting better. In short, everything is going smoothly and everything is fine.
After Mrs. Tao told Mrs. Lin her thoughts, Mrs. Lin suddenly had a whim and wanted to go to Qingliang Temple to see the hot springs and the peach blossoms in the mountains and fields. Mrs. Lin thought
Unfortunately, Lin Shenzhi was already 8 years old and wanted to send him to Mr. Zhu's house to study. During this trip, he happened to visit Mr. Zhu to test his tone. The two hit it off and decided to hold this year's Flower Festival at Tao's house.
Dowry in the village.
As soon as this news came out, Mrs. Tao was very busy. She originally just wanted to take Lin Jinrong, Lin Shenzhi, and her mother to live there quietly for a few days, pray for blessings, and then come back, but unexpectedly she was shocked.
After seeing these two Bodhisattvas, a long line of people including the first and second bedrooms wanted to go. But they could not refuse, so they had to send people to the village early to inform the Tiehuai family to sweep away the dust and prepare some wine and food for the reception.
guest.
It was just dawn, and Lin Jinrong, who had just turned fifteen, had already packed up and left the house and hurried to Tao's yard.
Mrs. Tao had already gotten up and was sitting down telling Mother Gong: "Have you bought all the things listed on the list that Tie Huai sent? You have to count them carefully. Don't forget to bring something when you are on the road. There are so many things."
People are accustomed to enjoying blessings..."
Mother Gong said with a smile: "I ordered the car twice yesterday afternoon, and I just ordered the fresh goods I want to go to this morning again to confirm that they are correct."
Tao sighed: "My God, there are so many people in a place as big as your hand. It's a good thing I don't spend the night there, otherwise I wouldn't have the thought to burn incense and pray for blessings! Just serving them is enough."
Mother Gong complained: "It's the second wife who is causing trouble. The eldest wife said that the father-in-law will pay for it, but she instigated the wife to pay for it! Not to mention the effort of spending money, looking at her so proud makes people feel uncomfortable.
Comfortable."
Mrs. Tao said in a low voice: "She feels even more uncomfortable. We have plenty of money, and we are cautious and strive for success, so we are bound to be unhappy." Then he sneered: "You think you can take advantage of me this way, and how much loss you will make me suffer.
?Young man, I’ve never seen money.”
Lin Jinrong listened clearly to the conversation between the two outside, went in and persuaded with a smile: "Mom, if you think about it this way, we can easily invite so many people to play now, and we can entertain them very well.
How could I be willing to give up in the past? Besides, my grandfather went there for my seventh brother, so it was worth it."
The words made Mrs. Tao smile brightly: "No, if so many people went to eat, drink and waste money in the past, even if I could take it out, I would feel sorry for it for a long time. I always want to leave a little more for you siblings." At this point.
, and then pulled Lin Jinrong in front of him to take a closer look.
Lin Jinrong is wearing an ivory spring dress embroidered with winter jasmine flowers today, with jade locks, a pearl crested hairpin in a concentric bun, and pearl earrings of the same style in her ears. She is tall, has long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her skin is like porcelain.
It is pleasing to the eye and makes people feel comfortable from the eyes to the heart. My family has a daughter who has just grown up, and this daughter is both talented and virtuous. Mrs. Tao can't help but be proud of it.
Extremely: "My dear daughter has grown up to be a big girl. She is almost as tall as her mother. Speaking of which, it's probably because of you." If it weren't for Lin Jinrong, she wouldn't have been able to achieve this in just over a year.
As a wealthy woman became more and more high-profile among the sisters-in-law, she couldn't let the eldest brother be so respectful in everything, and the second brother-in-law would be a little more fearful.
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "We are one, and what mother and daughter say about whether they are happy or not is a joke. And if you don't listen to me, you won't have the good life you have now." In the past year or so.
A lot of things happened, such as Lin Jinyin
She was pregnant and about to give birth, Wu fell seriously ill, Lin Sishao got married, Lin Yizhi was also about to get married in May this year, and Lin Shiquan's horizons widened after he returned from transporting grain and salt with the merchant named Mei.
Things are no longer the same as before.
For another example, the limited private money in her hand has not only been fully repaid, but the amount is relatively objective, and it has also been revitalized. She is planning to liberalize the sale of 37 types of drugs this year, a crucial year when the government liberalizes it.
Let Lin Shiquan do the hands and feet.
But all of this is inseparable from Tao's trust and love and Tao Shunqin's help. If they don't agree with her and confine her tightly to this limited world, the most she can do is have those salt-alkali lands and rich crops.
Just a dowry.
Mother Gong laughed: "Oh, mother and daughter think one is good for the other, and they both feel that they have enjoyed each other's blessings. This is the real blessing." Pointing to the direction of the yard of the second room, she whispered: "Last night,
The sixth girl had a quarrel with the second wife again. The third grandma went to persuade her, but she was met with disgrace." As the days of the third house grew more and more.
Lin Jinrong, who is getting better and better, is calm and friendly, and talks more and more, is becoming more and more popular with the female relatives on many occasions. Lin Liu believes that it is all due to the Lu family's marriage, and he can't help but resent why Luo did such superfluous things.
Bad things ruined her life, so every little thing would always make Luo Shi cry.
Mr. Tao's eyebrows were flying: "It's up to you. Just book it out as soon as possible."
Mother Gong said: "The second wife has a very high vision. With our girl and the fifth girl comparing her, how could she be willing to decide on the marriage of two girls casually?"
Mrs. Tao frowned and said: "What can be compared with the marriage of girls here? I just wanted to choose a girl for my daughter who has a strong family background, is capable and responsible, generous and decent, and I feel burned out if she can live a good life.
Gao Xiang, if everyone is like her, then life will be impossible."
Although more than a year had passed, and although he had made detailed plans for everything he would face in the future, Lin Jinrong still did not want to hear more about the marriage and changed the subject: "Mom, there is something I want to discuss with you.
My son is already over two years old
, it is not appropriate to always be led by a wet nurse to live in the countryside. Last time I saw her, her language was a little inappropriate. Did you take this opportunity to report to the old lady and let her come back with us and educate her well?
It's worth your while to help her."
"I will take care of this matter. This is a good thing. I don't think the old lady will refute it." Mrs. Tao put away the sullen expression on her face and said seriously: "Your uncle wrote a letter last time and he praised her.
Although your clan brother is capable, he has endured hardships and knows how to look at his eyes. Although he is an honest man, I am afraid that one day I will not be able to retain him..."
Lin Jinrong whispered: "You can't keep someone for profit, but you can't keep them for a long time. If you keep someone for love, you have to stay for a longer time. He is not a servant of my family, he is a man with ambition. If he wants to leave, he can't stay for a long time."
It's reasonable. Mom will still need to be considerate when the time comes." She never did.
She thought about forcing Lin Shiquan to stay for the rest of her life. As long as Lin Shiquan was mutually beneficial to her at this time and gave her a strong support at the most critical moment in the future, that would be enough. When the time comes, the sky is high and birds can fly, and the sea is as wide as fish.
Yue, Lin Shiquan can go wherever he wants.
Mrs. Tao sighed: "So what? It's a pity that she's not my biological child. I really want Shenzhi to grow up as soon as possible. If you had a biological brother, you wouldn't have to work so hard..." His eyes passed over Lin Jinrong, hidden.
He went to Huatou below and told Mother Gong: "It's almost time. You go outside to greet her and ask them to go ahead with their things. I'll go and invite the old lady."
"Mom, are you leaving?" Lin Shenzhi ran in with a smile. Lin Jinrong saw that he was not wearing new clothes, but a half-new robe, and couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm going to visit Mr., why don't you wear my mother's clothes?"
New clothes specially prepared for you?"
Mrs. Tao whispered: "Hasn't Lu Yan been studying at Mr. Zhu's place? A few days ago, your grandfather asked someone to ask him and Mr. Zhou Mai about their hobbies. He specifically told him not to let your seventh brother dress up too luxuriously.
, Sir, if you don’t like it, just keep it clean, tidy and decent.” He straightened Lin Shenzhi’s clothes and whispered: “You must be more careful, remember to respect Sir, and try to let Sir accept you.”
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "Sir, you have many students, but not all of them are successful. You still have to rely on yourself."
Lin Shenzhi blinked and said, "Second brother Lu also told me this. Mr. likes hard-working and honest people, and I can do that." Since the Lin and Lu families got engaged, according to custom, Lu and Lu have been together at all times of the year.
Mr. Jin always visited Lin's house to give gifts and had a lot of contact with Lin Shenzhi, and the two got along well.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but feel satisfied when she saw Lin Shenzhi puffing out her little chest and confidently talking about what she could do. Back then, Lin Shenzhi was more often criticized for saying he was inferior to others, even with Old Mrs. Lin and
Mr. Lin San always talks with his chest held back, his eyes flicker, and he never dares to look him in the face. How can he be as elegant as he is now? She wants him to continue like this and continue walking on the broad road.
Not long after, everyone in the Lin family gathered together, those on horseback and those in carriages, and marched out of the house to Zhuangzi, where Tao's dowry was to be held.
As the car was approaching, the motorcade suddenly stopped. Mother Gong raised the curtain and looked outside. She turned back and said with a smile: "Madam, the young master cousin is here to pick us up."
Tao asked curiously: "Today is the Flower Festival, why didn't he go home?"
Mother Gong said: "Perhaps he wants to stay and study? I heard that he can work hard, and he always seems to be delayed when he comes and goes." As he said this, he winked at Mrs. Tao and glanced at Lin Jinrong, who was sitting aside with his eyes downcast and silent.
.
Mrs. Tao understood and smiled slightly.
