When Lin Jinrong learned that Mrs. Lu had initiated a group of people who bought saline-alkali land in Pingzhou and Qingzhou, and was about to persuade the new boss to dig canals and divert water from the fields, she was accompanying the female family members of a merchant named Meng who were unaccustomed to the acclimatization to see a doctor.
"Lu Yan, this kid is unambiguous. Your uncle agreed to join the party, but no one in the family can come forward to do it. We can only send him a steward to guide him. I also thought that he is a thin-skinned scholar and would not be willing to do this. As for the matter, who would have thought that he would follow the steward and visit people at their homes, and within a few days, the matter would be settled."
Listening to Mrs. Tao's nagging, Lin Jinrong was in a daze. Yu Tian's time was about to be advanced as she wished, but she couldn't be happy. But seeing Mrs. Tao's shining eyes, she soon decided to be happy. , after all, Tao, Lin Shenzhi, and the Tao family have all benefited, and those fields are all hers. When that day comes, she will find a good place for them. If she doesn't want to, no one can touch them.
In the winter of this year, the first major thing that the new Taiming Prefect did after taking office was to recruit migrant workers, build canals and weirs, and prepare to divert the water of the Zhujiang River to the land to remove brine and create thousands of hectares of fertile farmland. As soon as the order was issued, he got He came to Pingzhou and was strongly supported by the rich and aristocratic families of Qingzhou.
Winter passes and spring comes, and another year comes.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, people who are close to each other have begun to visit each other to pay New Year greetings. On such days, the women of the Lin family will put on new clothes and the best jewelry, and gather around Mr. Lin in the best spirit. The wife's side greets the guests who come to visit her in a cheerful and relaxed manner.
At exactly the right time, Lin Jinrong, dressed in fine clothes, appeared in front of the door of Heleju on time. He casually rewarded the little girl who came up to greet her diligently and carefully opened the curtain for her. A string of copper coins strung with colorful threads was wrapped around her with lychees. Take off your crabapple red feather satin cloak and slowly enter the warm and fragrant Helejuli.
Through the landscape screen blocking the door, she heard only very low voices inside, which meant that most people hadn't arrived yet. In this family-friendly festival, everyone was relaxed, after all, they had been keeping watch for a year. The rule is that you can relax a little these days. Even the old lady has to sleep more, not to mention other people. Anyway, the old lady won't care if you are a few steps late.
But after turning the screen, she was surprised.
There were indeed not many people in the room, but there were Lu Yan, Old Mrs. Lu, Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun. As for the main seat, there were Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin sitting there, even Lin who she thought was still lying down and not getting up. The third master also tidied up and sat with Mr. Tao.
Lin Jinrong's heart suddenly twitched. Since getting engaged, Lu Yan has been visiting every year and festival to give gifts and say hello. It's not surprising that he comes to pay New Year's greetings. It's not surprising that Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun are sitting here. What's strange is that Mr. Lu appears. In other words, it wasn't surprising that he showed up, because she thought she could already guess what they were doing here at the same time - she was about to turn sixteen, and this year, she and Lu Mian got married. year.
How could she be so good that in her previous life, Mrs. Lu, whom she only dared to look up to from a distance, came to visit her several times? Lin Jinrong thought of her saline-alkali land that would soon be turned into fertile farmland and whose value had skyrocketed, and the saline-alkali land that she had already established a firm footing on. The business of the fragrant medicine shop was obviously booming - apart from this, she really couldn't think of any other reason for Old Mrs. Lu to condescend to her. She lightly curved the corners of her lips, lowered her eyes and stepped forward to salute and say hello.
Mr. Lu looked at the girl in front of him very seriously. She had a light mountain brown brocade coat with flowing cloud patterns, an emerald pleated skirt, and a green lotus colored silk ribbon tied with white jade tassels.
A pair of bright red coral hairpins were inserted into the light blue hair, and there was a slight rouge on her lips. The fragrance of wintersweet was faintly reflected in her movements, and there was no sound of the ring.
Beautiful, dignified, generous, and calm. Mr. Lu was extremely satisfied when he saw it. He handed over the brocaded and heavy purse that he had prepared long ago: "Ah Rong, take it to buy flowers."
Lin Jinrong thanked her with a smile, and met Lin Yuzhen again, and also received a golden and heavy purse. At this point, she had completely determined the purpose of the Lu family's trip, pretended to be unaware, and went to meet her early.
The Lu Mian brothers and sisters stood aside, waiting to greet her.
As expected, Lu Yan kept his eyes lowered, and although there was no stiffness in his behavior, it was a bit unnatural. However, Lu Yun winked at her mischievously, and after wishing her good luck in the New Year, he held her hand and whispered:
He whispered affectionately into her ear: "Great joy."
Lin Jinrong did not answer Lu Yun's words. From the beginning to the end, the smile on her face did not weaken even a little bit, but it never increased. She glanced at Mrs. Lin and others, and exchanged a look with Mrs. Tao. After receiving confirmation,
He calmly found an excuse to hide out.
As soon as they left the door of Heletang, Lu Yun followed him from behind and said with a chuckle: "Fourth sister, you are unjust. You just ran away after taking care of yourself, and you didn't know how to lead me out smoothly. You caused me to be chased away by the elders."
When I came out, I was accused of being less sensible than you." As he spoke, he smiled narrowly: "Do you want to know what my grandfather did?"
Lin Jinrong neither refused her to follow nor invited her to follow. He walked along the bluestone road alone, his smile unchanged: "I don't want to know."
The phrase "I don't want to know" can be understood in many ways, such as being shy or impatient to know. Lu Yun didn't even see anything, only a smile that never changed at all. In recent years,
Now she could no longer easily read Lin Jinrong's thoughts, so she wisely stopped mentioning the topic and looked around: "Where are you going, Fourth Sister?"
The smile on Lin Jinrong's face was finally brighter than before. He even imitated Lu Yun's previous actions and winked mischievously: "Go to your fifth sister. She ate roasted suckling lamb with me last night and drank alone.
After half a jar of Dongyang wine, I can't walk, so I have to rely on the girl to hold me up. At this moment, Tie must be lying on the bed unconscious, let's make a snowball and throw it at her!" Even now, Lin Wu still can't stand Lu Yun.
, whenever you see her, no matter how serious it is, you should try your best to make Lu Yun feel uncomfortable and want to run with her, okay, just don’t worry about bad luck during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Yun really became sad, and whispered with some embarrassment: "Fourth sister, fifth sister has some misunderstandings about me. I'm afraid she won't be happy if I go, this is the Chinese New Year..."
Lin Jinrong pulled her over enthusiastically: "It's just because there is a misunderstanding that I have to resolve it. Let's go, let's go."
Lu Yun retracted his hand and laughed dryly: "That's all, I'd better go to Sixth Sister's place."
Lin Jinrong said regretfully: "You really don't want to go? I still want to make peace between you two. My sisters, there are no unresolved problems. Just take a step back."
Lu Yun said quietly: "I never wanted to quarrel with them. The sixth sister and the seventh sister are fine, and they have calmed down as time goes by. Only the fifth sister still refuses to calm down." With a bit of sadness, he looked at it with wet eyes.
Looking at Lin Jinrong: "Fourth sister, I won't hide it from you, it's just for this marriage..." He shut up in shock and sighed with regret: "That's all, why am I saying this? Don't take it to heart, I'll do it first
Let’s go.” He led the girl and hurriedly went another way.
Lin Jinrong stopped smiling, buried his head and continued walking forward.
Lychee couldn't help but whispered: "Girl, what do you think this cousin wants to do?"
Lin Jinrong asked: "What do you think?"
Li Zhi said: "I always think she is too powerful. The sixth and seventh girls used to hate her so much, but you see, after we went to Qingzhou and came back, they reconciled as before, which is really unexpected."
Lin Jinrong said calmly: "That's their business." Not long after she came back from Qingzhou last autumn, Lin Yuzhen helped arrange an engagement between Lin Liu and the young master of the Meng family in Daizhou. From that time on, Lu
Yun and the twins reconciled. It must be said that Lu Yun's methods are indeed extraordinary.
The master and servant arrived at Lin Wu's room. Lin Wu had already woken up. He was lying on the couch in his clothes and was in a daze. When he saw her going in, he lazily said: "Come from He Le Hall? Have you seen Lu Yun? I originally wanted to go with him.
Let’s go to the music hall. I heard there were a lot of people there, so I didn’t go there.”
Lin Jinrong said "hmm", sat down next to the smoker, took an orange from the porcelain plate on the side, wrapped it in a handkerchief and peeled it carefully.
As soon as it was peeled, Lin Wu snatched half of it and said, "That's a really rich man. He gave my eldest nephew a gold necklace weighing two ounces when he came today. My sister-in-law has been telling my mother about her there.
Her kind words made my mother scold me. There is no one more sinister than her."
Lin Jinrong listened quietly without saying a word.
Lin Wu said dissatisfiedly: "I have told you so much, why don't you reply?"
Lin Jinrong raised his eyes and looked at her: "What do you want me to say? Scold with you?"
Lin Wu turned around awkwardly: "Yes, I am not as close to you as I am going to travel far away. What's wrong with me just saying bad things about her? She deserves it."
Lin Jinrong did not defend himself and waited quietly. After a while, Xia Ye's voice came from the door: "Is our girl here?"
Lin Jinrong immediately stood up and hurriedly said to Lin Wu: "I'm leaving." Regardless of Lin Wu behind him who tried to keep her, he hurried to Tao's room. Although he tried his best to control it when he entered, he couldn't help but
Trembling slightly: "Mom, how are you?"
Tao smiled tentatively and said: "Next autumn, September 19th. Your grandfather and Mr. Lu read the almanac together. The good days will last forever."
Lin Jinrong suddenly felt that her whole body had lost all strength. She sat down holding the table for a long time before letting out a breath. Finally, it was not this year. She missed the fatal point. In this life, she would never see Ning'er again.
Mrs. Tao looked at her worriedly: "Nanny?"
Lin Jinrong raised his head and smiled at her: "Since it's next year, why do we say it now?"
"Originally I wanted to do it this fall, but I declined, saying that many things were not ready yet. They refused. Later, Lu Mian and Mr. Lu came back from a trip, and Mr. Lu agreed again. This kid is really considerate."
Mr. Tao talked for a long time, but saw that Lin Jinrong kept smiling and his expression did not change. He couldn't help but sigh softly. Did he listen?
