Hearing that Mrs. Tao wanted to return to her parents' home, Mrs. Lin was a little unhappy and said calmly: "It's hot now and there are a lot of inconveniences on the road. We'll talk about it after autumn." Then she sighed: "You just went there the year before last, right?
?Speaking of which, your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have not been home for many years." The implication is that of the three daughters-in-law, the two eldest ones have not returned to their parents' homes. How can the youngest Tao be so special?
.
Mrs. Tao secretly resented, how could this be compared? Those two didn't go back to their parents' homes because they were far away. You can't just call her two sisters-in-law whose parents' homes are relatively close just because they don't go back to their parents' homes.
Not going back, right? Otherwise, based on this, Lin Yuzhen shouldn't run to her parents' house so often. So she went back to her room full of anger and asked Lin Jinrong to talk to her to relieve her boredom.
"We can't go, so let's ask Mother Gong to go and bring some of my aunt's favorite plums. I'm sure my aunt and sister will be very happy." Lin Jinrong couldn't help but sigh softly, after all, we still saw each other for the last time.
Can't catch it.
The news of Wu's death came one afternoon in late July. Mrs. Tao burst into tears at that time. After she recovered her breath, she went to He Le Tang. She had to go there no matter what.
Lin Jinrong first sent someone to notify Lin Shenzhi to go home, and then ordered people to pack their luggage. Lizhi hesitated: "Girl, I wonder if the old lady will allow it?"
"Should we be able to go?" Lin Jinrong was a little unsure at this time. When Mrs. Wu passed away, Mrs. Tao was indeed not allowed to go to Qingzhou, so she naturally couldn't go with her. It was Mr. Lin San and Lin Shenzhi who went. But.
That was then, and this is now. With the Tao family's current situation, it is understandable that they cannot go to their parents' home to visit relatives at will. However, the mother-in-law of the eldest sister-in-law and eldest daughter is gone, and it is reasonable to want to go to mourn in person. Mrs. Lin and Lin
The old lady had no reason to refuse.
Lychee sighed: "Girl, I'm talking about you."
Lin Jinrong sat down in silence. After a while, she got up and rushed to Heletang: "You guys pack your things, I'll go take a look."
Mrs. Tao was wiping tears at Mrs. Lin: "Although I knew it was bad a long time ago, it was good and bad, and suddenly it was gone without thinking. My sister-in-law has always been very good to me, and she also treats Ayin impeccably."
of……"
Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Zhou and others couldn't help but sigh sympathetically: "Mrs. Tao is a good person, and she is still so young. You have to think openly..."
It was better not to persuade her, but with this advice, Mrs. Tao couldn't help but burst into tears. Lin Jinrong quickly stepped forward to support her and whispered comfort.
Old Mrs. Lin is old, and she sympathizes with her, but she doesn't like people crying in front of her, especially for such a funeral. She felt unlucky, so she frowned slightly: "If you want to go, just pack your things quickly."
." Then he told Mrs. Zhou: "Have a good time preparing a funeral ceremony, don't neglect it."
Mrs. Tao thanked her gratefully: "My daughter-in-law, I will go back and pack my things right now."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly whispered: "Grandma, would you like me to accompany my mother?" Seeing Mrs. Lin's old yellow eyes looking over inquiringly, she hurriedly lowered her eyes and whispered: "Uncle, my aunt has always been very good to me.
My mother is so sad, and my seventh brother wants to follow her, I'm afraid no one will take care of them."
Mrs. Lin was silent for a moment, then waved her hand invisibly towards her, indicating her agreement.
That night, someone from the Wu family came over to ask when the Lin family was going to Qingzhou and if they wanted to set off together. The Lu family also sent someone to pick them up, saying they were sending someone to express their condolences, and asked them when they were going to Qingzhou and if they wanted to go with them.
Let's go together.
While Mrs. Tao was sad, she felt comforted at the same time. She cried to Lin Jinrong and recalled some past events between her and Mrs. Wu before she got married. She couldn't help but feel sad when she talked about the regrets: "I have never seen so many little sisters-in-law in my life."
Such a good sister-in-law, nanny, good people don’t live long, good people don’t live long!”
Lin Jinrong's eyes turned red and she stroked Tao's back wordlessly.
There was no conversation all night. In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Mr. Tao got up with his eyes swollen, took his children to say goodbye to the two elders of the Lin family, and then boarded the carriage and headed for Qingzhou. When they reached the city gate, the sky was not bright anymore.
It was twilight, the city gate had not yet been opened, and there was dew on the bluestone wall. Master Lin San asked someone to find out when the city gate would be opened, and asked Mrs. Tao: "I made an appointment with the Wu family and the Lu family to meet here.
What? Why haven’t you seen anyone yet? It’s so hot today and I don’t know how to go out early.”
Mrs. Tao was in a bad mood and said calmly: "Anyway, the city gate hasn't been opened yet, so it won't matter if we wait."
Just as he was talking, he saw a carriage drive by in the morning light and stopped in front of the Lin family's car. A man jumped out of the car neatly and walked to the front of the car to salute: "Nephew, salute to uncle and aunt. Please express my condolences." But it was.
Lu Mian.
Mr. Lin San was quite surprised: "Oh, why are you going? Your grandfather asked you to go? Don't you want to study anymore?"
When Mrs. Tao saw him, she was in a good mood and said, "Why can't it be him? According to me, it's very suitable for him to go." The Lu family is trying to make her future mother-in-law look good, so why is it wrong? Studying is very important.
, but favors are also important, right?
Mr. Lin San just said it casually. After hearing what Tao said, he didn't have much else to say. Not long after, the Wu family's carriage also came. There were so many people going to his house, a large group of men and women.
, when Mr. Yang met Mr. Tao, the two of them wiped away tears from each other and began to recall every detail of Mr. Wu, and the more they talked about it, the more sad they became.
"When will the city gate open? I'll go down to find Brother Lu." Lin Shenzhi was impatient with waiting, so he slipped out from Lin Jinrong and got off the carriage neatly.
Lin Jinrong raised the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see Wu Xiang and Lu Yan standing not far away talking in low voices. When they heard Lin Shenzhi calling them, they all turned around and agreed. Just as Lin Jinrong was about to put down the curtain, he saw Lu Yan's pair of dark eyes.
His eyes turned toward her, and their eyes met. Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment, nodded to him almost invisible, and gently lowered the car curtain.
Not long after, there was a heavy sound of opening the city gate outside the car, and Mr. Wu said in a deep voice: "Stop crying, we have to hurry." Then Mr. Tao and Mr. Yang stopped crying, said goodbye to each other, and went back to their cars.
Since they were going to mourn, everyone was in a bad mood along the way, and no one deliberately delayed their trip, so they walked very quickly. When they arrived at Deyi Station, the accommodation conditions were much better than when Lin Jinrong and the others went to Qingzhou last time. The Wu family prepared
It was sufficient, and there were many people going. When the time came, we would inform the Lin and Lu families respectively. There was no need to prepare separate meals and we would all eat with them.
The weather was too hot, and they were on a journey. The women had no appetite, so they sat around and chatted together after hastily finishing their business. Wu Ling quietly poked Lin Jinrong and whispered: "It's stuffy and hot in this room, and it's so hot."
There was a strong smell. When I first came in, I saw a bush of jasmine planted in the corner of the yard. Let's go there and pick a few flowers and put them in the house so that we can sleep better at night."
Lin Jinrong whispered to Chun Ya and followed Wu Ling outside. Although it was not cool outside, it was much more refreshing than the stuffy atmosphere in the house. As expected, a large bush of about 100 trees was planted under the west wall of the yard.
The jasmine flower, which is half a person tall, is fragrant. Its snow-white buds and petals shimmer in the twilight, half of the irritability in people's hearts.
Wu Ling ordered her mother-in-law to fill a porcelain plate with water and wait aside. She and Lin Jinrong gently picked off the fresh and beautiful ones and put them in the water to keep them, preparing to distribute them to everyone later.
Suddenly I heard someone not far away saying: "What are you doing?" But it was Wu Xiang who came over alone and said, "This jasmine is blooming very well. Pick a few more and share some among us. There is a weird smell in the house. Is it possible?"
Smell tight."
Wu Ling said: "They are all there. Where does the second brother come from?"
Wu Xiang said: "I just went in to say hello to my mother. When I came out, I smelled the fragrance of jasmine flowers and looked for them. I didn't expect to see you two here." Then he specially greeted Lin Jinrong: "Fourth sister, I haven't seen you for a long time.
, someone in my family is going to Jiangnan after we go back, do you have a letter to bring to Yang Mo?"
Lin Jinrong said: "I have prepared some things for her and will have them delivered to her when she comes back."
Wu Xiang sighed with emotion: "It's extremely difficult to meet you now. Many of our childhood playmates have never been seen by many of us now."
Lin Jinrong was speechless for a moment. Since she got engaged, Mrs. Tao has indeed reduced the chances of taking her out as a guest. Even if she goes out as a guest, she will not be as comfortable as before when she is older, so Wu Xiang and her are indeed
Haven't seen him for a long time.
Wu Ling whispered: "After we got engaged, it was rare to see her again as we got older. Just like Yang Mo, she often came to my house when she was a child. Once we got engaged, she was taken back and not allowed to come out again. She didn't know if she wanted to see her again.
When did it happen?"
Speaking of parting between life and death, the atmosphere became a little solemn for a moment. Lin Jinrong coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, you were rushing to the capital to take the exam a few years ago, right?"
Hearing her mention this, Wu Xiang was filled with pride and his eyes lit up: "Yes." Suddenly he thought of Lu Mian again, so he lowered his voice and said, "Lu Mian really isn't going?"
Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment and nodded: "I heard that's the case."
Wu Xiang asked: "Why doesn't he go? I have an appointment with him to compete in the examination room. If he doesn't go, how can we compete?"
Wu Ling glanced at Lin Jinrong and winked at Wu Xiang: "Second brother..."
"I heard that Mr. Zhu suggested that he study for a few more years. He himself also felt that it would be better to be more calm." Lin Jinrong smiled softly and looked up at Wu Xiang: "Brother Wu, I have something I don't know whether to say or not?"
Wu Xiang was a little surprised, but still smiled and made a gesture of asking him to speak.
Lin Jinrong said clearly: "Brother Ang, you have such a arrogant temper. Those who know you will think you are willful; but if you don't know you, I'm afraid you will offend others. Beijing is not as expensive as our small place, so you have to be careful
.”
Wu Xiang thought she was asking Lu Yan whether he would take the exam or not, so he smiled nonchalantly.
Wu Ling also knew how to take good care of things and helped him: "Second brother, my family has been talking about you for a long time. Now Ah Rong is saying the same thing, and you still don't pay attention!"
"Little girls, please don't imitate the nagging wives." Wu Xiang lazily bowed his hands towards the two of them and said, "I'm leaving first." He casually took away the plate of jasmine flowers held by his mother-in-law and said, "Thank you.
Ah, I will take it for you and share it with others."
Wu Ling said apologetically: "Ah Rong, you know his temperament. Don't worry about what he said before about whether he would take the exam or not."
Lin Jinrong shook her head gently, that was all she could do.
