In the afternoon, the wind blew through the courtyard, and the old elm trees made a pleasant rustling sound, waking up Lin Jinrong who was sitting under the window and meditating. Her eyes fell not far away, on a rosewood shelf holding a green bile bottle.
What she was growing was the thorny yellow wild flower she brought back from the countryside.
Five days have passed, and it is still blooming in its fullest form. The blooming flowers at the lower end have been carefully trimmed by lychees, and the flower bones at the tips can’t wait to bloom again. The green leaves are becoming more and more brilliant, filling half the room.
Spring Light. Even if Lin Jinrong finds it irritating, she has to admit that this flower is really beautiful, and it is more durable than those peach blossoms and plum blossoms.
Lychee and Grandma Gui sat quietly under the curtain, making Lin Jinrong's dowry, looking up at her from time to time. Seeing her looking at the flower in a daze, the two exchanged glances tacitly, and continued to work.
.The girls from other families had a great time embroidering their dowry. Even Lin Wu has lost his temper now.
, shyly hiding in the room all day long embroidering dowry, they are the only ones who love counting money and reading account books. If they are not good at it, they just read miscellaneous books, write, share tea and play the xun. Even if they suddenly feel itchy and want to
I started doing needlework, and also made shoes and socks for Mrs. Tao, Lin Shenzhi, Lin Jinyin, Wu and others.
If the real master doesn't do it, what can they do? It's not just that they can do it for her. After all, when they come in, there are so many relatives, and they have to give some handkerchiefs and sachets, and they have to embroider them well.
, to save others from laughing at her beauty. As she was doing this, Aunt Gui suddenly remembered the troubles she had recently had. She couldn't help it, and whispered to Li Zhi: "Have you noticed, the girl's feet seem to have grown up?"
Already."
Lychee's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and then it became a bit funny. It was more than two years later, and she realized that she and the girl were hiding it too well, or that Grandma Gui was old now and was thinking about everything.
Guiyuan, who was being kept in check by Mother Gong every day? She muttered in her heart and even pretended to be surprised: "How do you say it?"
Aunt Gui looked at Lychee suspiciously: "Didn't you notice? I haven't collected the girl's shoes for a long time. When I went to collect them that day, I suddenly found that they were much bigger than the shoes she wore before." She has also been secretly looking at them these past few days.
Lin Jinrong's feet are indeed too big.
Lychee gently pressed down Aunt Gui's gesture, and whispered: "I have been serving the girl day and night, and I really didn't notice. Aunty, did you remember correctly?"
Aunt Gui made a serious face: "No, I raised the girl hand by hand, how could I forget? It's because you and Yingying have been waiting on the girl recently, so I asked you. I remember the shoes the girl wore earlier.
Keep it in the ear room for me to look through..."
Lychee smiled half-heartedly and said, "What then?"
Aunt Gui didn't understand: "Ah?"
Lychee put down the embroidery in her hand and said seriously: "Even if the girl's shoes are bigger now than before, what can I do? Go talk to my wife? Huh? What can my wife do? The girl is already fifteen years old.
.”
Aunt Gui thought for a while, then lowered her head and continued working, but she embroidered an extra tentacle of the butterfly. When she raised her head again, her eyes turned red: "Girl is getting older..." After a moment of silence, she scolded Lychee:
"You are confused, how can you let the girl do whatever you want! This is a big deal, what if it is found out in the future? No, I have to go and talk to my wife."
Li Zhi glanced at Lin Jinrong in the curtain, lowered his eyes and said as if he didn't care: "If you want to say it, mama, just go ahead and take off your clothes as much as possible while it's still early. I'll carry it all on my back."
.”
Aunt Gui was embarrassed for a while, and she really shed tears: "Am I that kind of person? I am doing it for the girl's good. If I enter the Lu family in the future and someone finds out, what should I do?"
Lychee asked: "I just want to ask grandma, what can I do if I talk to my wife now? Make a scene and stuff the girl's grown feet back?"
Aunt Gui was not good at talking, and she was speechless again. But in her mind, this was wrong and deviant, but she couldn't find a reason to refute Li Zhi. But she had to go and tell Mrs. Tao about this.
Son, she really didn’t dare.
Suddenly seeing the curtain move, Lin Jinrong brushed the two of them out and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about me in the future. You can just do what I want. I will take care of the rest. Now,
Lychee pack your things and follow me to my wife's room."
Lychee silently put down her work and waited for Lin Jinrong to go out. Aunt Gui looked outside and advised: "Girl, the sun is hot right now, and my wife is probably taking a nap too, so why don't you go there later?"
?”
Lin Jinrong shook his head: "I suddenly remembered something, and I must tell my wife now." At this point on that day, the people sent by the Tao family to announce the good news arrived at the Lin family. A few days ago, she had sent someone to bring Lin Shiquan.
She sent a letter and asked him to come back soon. If what she expected was true, Lin Shiquan would come with the messenger. At this point, everyone was happy, and it was the most convenient time to talk to Lin Shiquan.
Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Aunt Gui simply gave up and continued to sit back and do her needlework.
After leaving the yard, Li Zhi whispered: "Girl, Grandma Gui knows."
Lin Jinrong said: "I heard it all. You did a good job, that's what you have to do. Practice your handwriting well and learn to read the account book. Then I can safely leave things to you in the future."
Her tone was very cautious, and Lychee could hear it, and couldn't help but laugh: "Is it possible that the girl plans to let this slave be a female accountant in the future?"
Lin Jinrong glanced at her with a smile but not a smile: "How about the female boss? I will manage your money and people. When you give an order, even a grown man will listen to you."
Lychee stuttered, then blushed and said, "Young lady is making fun of me again."
Lin Jinrong sighed: "Who are you kidding me? Could it be that you didn't understand anything when I asked you to read those letters? It's not just about teaching you how to read."
Li Zhi was startled, and suddenly understood something. She couldn't help but look at Lin Jinrong with a bit of surprise. Ever since Lin Shiquan went to Qingzhou and came back from that long trip, he would write to Lin Jinrong from time to time, and the letters would usually contain detailed information.
Describe a business, who to do it with, how to do it,
Sometimes he would write some of his own thoughts on interacting with people. Whenever Lin Jinrong read the letter, he would give it to her and ask her to read it over. He would pick some questions to ask her, and if she couldn't answer them, Lin Jinrong would not force her.
I just took the letter and sat in front of the window to ponder it over and over again. I often sat there for a long time.
Lin Jinrong said in a low voice: "Lizhi, maybe there will be more letters like this in the future. I plan to give the money in my hand to the third brother and let him learn to do some business on his own. He will write letters often, maybe to discuss with me
Yes, maybe you are asking for my opinion. You have to learn to read letters and learn to deal with some things before you can help me."
Lychee's mouth opened a little wider: "Girl, although I am always in the inner courtyard, I heard Mother Gong mention some things about my uncle's family. Others learn to do business from the beginning as an apprentice, and it often takes seven years.
It took eight or more than ten years before he dared to go out to do business on his own. Now Master Quan has only been with his uncle for more than a year. Are you relieved? What if we lose money?"
Lin Jinrong frowned: "I won't do anything too big at the beginning, just let him practice his skills." As long as Lin Shiquan is really consistent with what he showed, he will not pay. She still has this assurance, not to mention, she is really
Can't wait.
Although Li Zhi felt happy to be trusted and relied on, she still had countless worries: "What should I do with my uncle?"
Lin Jinrong smiled: "This is what I want to discuss with my wife today. Let's open a shop by ourselves. We can't always take advantage of my uncle and cousin, right? No matter how good the relatives are, after all, they have two surnames, and the third girl is also needed in her husband's family.
Backbone, the seventh young master is about to formally become a teacher and study, so we can't let people say that our family has always relied on my sister's in-laws, right?"
Looking at her like this, it seemed like she had planned it a long time ago. Lychee had nothing to say, and all he could do was try his best to follow her instructions.
Shao Qing, the two of them arrived outside the Tao family's yard, and happened to bump into the mother-in-law who came from the second door to report the good news: "The Tao family sent someone to report that the third girl, mother and son are safe!"
When Mrs. Tao heard the sound, Chunya and Xiaye hurriedly dressed her up. The smile on her face couldn't stop: "Let people come in quickly! Go tell the old lady and the master the good news." He also gave the order with great arrogance:
"Take the reward you prepared earlier!" Suddenly the room was full of congratulations and joy, and it was very lively.
Lin Jinrong looked at it with a smile, feeling that it felt really good. That year the good news came, and although Mr. Tao ordered someone to reward him with money, it was far from being so generous.
The person who reported the news was Mrs. Song, who was next to Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Yang, who was Lin Jinyin’s roommate. The two of them smiled and elaborated on the situation at that time: "It went very smoothly! The young master weighs six pounds and eight liang, and is fair and fair.
Clean, well-behaved and tight... Madam first
I was so anxious that I couldn’t even drink the medicine. As soon as I heard that mother and son were safe, I ate half a bowl of porridge! She seemed to feel much better and she was stable these days. Grandma’s body and bones were good, so she drank two ounces of porridge when she woke up.
I had a bowl of chicken soup, ate a chicken leg, and still complained that I was hungry."
"It's good if you can eat it, it's good if you can eat it!" Mrs. Tao smiled like a flower, "Tell her to be more careful, but don't make her a big fat person who can't take it back."
When Mother Gong led the two of them down to have a rest and eat, Mother Yang fell a few steps behind and asked Mrs. Tao what he meant: "Young Master Quan is also here this time. He is waiting outside the second door right now. Do you want to see me, Madam?"
Mrs. Tao said: "I will definitely meet you, but I am going to the old lady's room to announce the good news. Let him go to see Liu'er first. If there is anything else to say, I will talk about it in detail later."
Lin Jinrong said: "Mother, let me greet third brother."
Tao didn't care: "Don't be lazy." After saying this, he hurried to Heletang, dressed in wind and smiling all the way, and congratulating everyone he met.
Lin Jinrong silently recalled what he was about to say to Lin Shiquan, and after confirming that there were no loopholes, he walked towards Liu'er's small yard with his head held high.
