That year, Lin Jinrong didn't know that there was a gold bracelet in this piece of colored satin. After taking it back, she discovered that Tu's behavior had gone beyond Lin Yuzhen's. It was obviously wrong and she shouldn't accept it, but because Tu was Lu Mian's biological mother,
It was impossible to withdraw, and it was not easy to withdraw, so she had to accept it. In the dilemma, she wanted to ask Lu Mian what he meant, but Aunt Gui stopped her: "You ask the second master what he meant, should he let you accept it? Or should he let you accept it?
Shouldn't I let you accept it? It's inappropriate anyway. Since you can't return it, don't ask, just accept it first."
On the second day after receiving it, Mrs. Tu secretly came to her door to get close to her. Many things later proved that people can only push themselves to the limit, and she should never be so soft-hearted and accept the bracelet. It would not please both ends.
Although she has no intention of pleasing anyone this time, she also doesn't want to cause trouble to herself. At this time, such things are a waste of energy for her. If it is not necessary, she will not get involved.
Lin Jinrong smiled and looked at Tu in confusion. He held one side of the colored satin with both hands and took it, letting half of the colored satin collapse. Before Tu could react, there was a "dang" sound and the gold bracelet had slipped from the colorful satin.
The satin slipped out and fell to the ground.
Several pairs of eyes swept over her. Tu Shi was anxious and looked at the people around her in panic, especially Lin Yuzhen, Mrs. Lu, and Lu Mian. Lin Jinrong stepped forward, covered the gold bracelet under her skirt, and kicked Tu Shi in the face.
Under the chair, he handed the colorful satin to Lychee with a smile, turned around and continued to bow and give gifts.
Mrs. Lu gave Tu a cold look. Lin Yuzhen's eyes almost burst into flames. Tu looked at Lu Yan pitifully. Lu Yan's face darkened, and he pursed his lips and turned his face away from her. Lu
Yun gave Lin Yuzhen a reassuring look, turned to look at Tu, then at Lu Mian, and then focused on Lin Jinrong.
Lin Jinrong smiled and put an exquisite tiger head hat on the head of Lu Shao's second son Haolang, then touched the head of Lu Shao's eldest son Yuanlang, and whispered a few words to Lu Lun, looking generous, kind and comfortable.
, what happened just now had no impact at all on her.
Lu Yun lowered his eyes, tilted his head and thought for a while, then made a small gesture towards Lu Yan, indicating that he did not need to worry, Lin Yuzhen was here for her. Lu Yan lowered his eyes, with a calm expression.
After the young man bowed, Mr. Lu looked at Lin Jinrong, who was sitting at the bottom with his eyebrows raised and solemn. He became more and more satisfied as he looked at her. He stroked his beard and told Lu Mian: "Today you should go to your in-law's house to pay homage. The gifts have been prepared for you."
, go early and come back early, abide by the etiquette, and don’t get drunk and look ugly.”
Lu Yan bowed in response.
Mr. Lu stood up and looked at the pale sky outside, and said: "Let's all disperse." After saying this, he went out first, and all the men filed out behind him. Only a group of women and children were left in the central hall.
Several ladies stepped forward to help Old Mrs. Lu. Lin Yuzhen stepped forward with a straight face, pushed Tu away from her, held Old Mrs. Lu's arm in place, and looked at Tu with a sullen face, looking like she wanted to tear her apart.
Mrs. Tu's eyes were slightly red, and she stood motionless with her head bowed, exuding a sad aura all over her body. Mrs. Song stood between the two of them with her back, and spoke to Lin Jinrong with a smile: "Er Lang's wife
, Are you still used to it? If you need anything, just tell me, don’t be embarrassed."
Lin Jinrong stood behind Lu Shao's daughter-in-law, Lu, and did not take an extra step towards anyone. She said with a smile: "Thank you, Second Aunt, for your concern. They are all very good. I will not be polite when necessary."
Lin Yuzhen said: "Yes, if you need anything, don't be polite to your second aunt. Others can't think things through for you."
Lu, who had been silent all this time, also smiled and said: "The same goes for me. I am also a sister-in-law after all. I have been in the family a few years ago. I dare not say that I know more than you, but I am more familiar than you."
Why do you want to show off the prestige of a housekeeper or a eldest sister-in-law? It’s just that she felt guilty. Lin Yuzhen laughed in a half-hearted way.
Lin Jinrong smiled and said nothing, lowering her head and pretending to be shy. Just do whatever you want.
Old Mrs. Lu sighed with a headache: "It's all over. I got up too early today. I have to go back and lie down for a while." This meant that she didn't want anyone to serve her.
Lin Yuzhen had already stepped out of the threshold, and turned around to tell Lin Jinrong: "You go back to your room and have a rest. You don't have to go to my place to wait on me. If anything happens, I will ask someone to call you. If you have anything, ask someone to talk to Aunt Fang."
, or tell your sister the same thing."
Lin Jinrong agreed and didn't mention it, and looked back, only to see Tu's trusted mother-in-law, Nanny Hui, picking up the gold bracelet with her butt in a covert manner. She looked back, and saw Tu's pitiful look, with a smile on her face.
She just pretended not to see these flattering and pleading looks and turned her face away calmly.
Li Zhi and Grandma Gui understood clearly from beginning to end, and secretly broke into a cold sweat for Lin Jinrong.
The three masters and servants had only taken a few steps when Lin Jinrong saw Tu's feet moving. Thinking of Tu's entangling skills, she felt a tingling sensation in her scalp. She quickly greeted Lu Yun with a smile: "Excuse me, sister."
I know the way. Although I have been here several times before, there are still some places I have never been to."
Tu's legs retracted again.
Lu Yun was a little surprised. He glanced at Mrs. Tu and smiled sweetly: "I was just looking for an opportunity to get close to my second sister-in-law."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Look at this girl's mouth. She is clearly a cousin. They play together all the time. How could they wait until you come to get close to your second sister-in-law right now?"
Lu Yun smiled in acquiescence.
The light in Tu's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she listlessly supported the hand of the woman next to her, and walked slowly towards the other road.
"Going from here to the end is my grandmother's residence, and from there to the end is my grandfather's residence. My yard is not far from my mother's. In the future, second sister-in-law, when you go to pay your respects to your mother, you can call me by the way." Lu
Yun accompanied Lin Jinrong, introduced it as he walked, and designated the southwest corner: "Look, that's where the third aunt and third uncle live."
At this point, Lu Yun stopped, looked at Lin Jinrong with a smile and said: "Lu Geng and Third Aunt are both in poor health. It is inevitable that they have many ideas. Sometimes they will lose their sense of proportion and not think carefully. Just now..." Yes..."
Intentional or unintentional?
Lin Jinrong didn't look at her, pointed to the east and interrupted her: "If I remember correctly, that's where the second aunt and the others live?"
He would never discuss the matter with him like this, and he would not hold anything back. Lu Yun smiled slightly and stopped mentioning it. Instead, he talked to Lin Jinrong about the personalities and hobbies of the Lu family in detail, which seemed very thoughtful and considerate.
.
Lin Jinrong only listened but did not speak.
Not long after, when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Yun resigned and Lin Jinrong stepped in. Guiyuan came up to him and said cautiously: "Second Master is waiting for grandma to have breakfast with me in the house."
Aunt Gui hurriedly whispered: "Second Master, are you angry? How is your face?"
Lin Jinrong was also curious about Lu Yan's reaction.
Guiyuan didn't know why, so she thought for a moment and said, "I can't tell that I'm unhappy. But I can't tell that I'm happy either."
Especially waiting for Lin Jinrong to come back and have dinner together, she must have something to say. Aunt Gui said worriedly: "Girl, when you enter the house, be sure to follow the rules and tell the second master that you didn't mean it."
In fact, she did it on purpose. Lin Jinrong said "hmm" and walked into the house slowly.
Bowls, chopsticks and food were already placed on the Eight Immortals' table. Lu Yan had already sat on the table. When he saw her coming in, he said calmly: "Wash your hands, the food is cold."
Lin Jinrong slowly washed his hands, walked to sit across from Lu Mian, and didn't mention what happened before. He only took the spoon from Yingtao, scooped out half a bowl of porridge and handed it to Lu Mian, and then took the spoon from Yingtao for her.
Porridge, bow your head to eat.
Lu Yan glanced at her twice and ate in silence.
Lychee looked on and couldn't help but feel anxious. The two of them were clearly angry. What should they do if it's like this on the first day? Just as he was about to interject a joke, he heard Lu Mian say: "I'm going to Yue's house soon, are you okay?"
Do you have anything to say to your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Or Shen Zhi?"
Lin Jinrong thought for a while and said, "Just say that everything is fine with me. Let them not worry."
Lu Yan nodded.
Lin Jinrong put down his chopsticks and said, "I didn't expect what happened before." Lin Shenzhi was only ten years old. At least for the past two years, Lu Mian had to watch him in Mr. Zhu's village, so he might as well explain it.
"Hmm. I didn't expect it either." Lu Yan put a handful of wine-steamed white fish in her bowl, without intending to talk about it.
Lin Jinrong stopped mentioning the matter and took some fried tofu and sent it over.
Lu remained silent, immersed himself in eating, and put some plum blossom cakes into Lin Jinrong's bowl: "This is good."
Lin Jinrong also put a gold and silver burnt peony cake into his bowl: "Try this."
Aunt Gui looked on, her heart full of joy. She felt that these two people were really respectful to each other as guests. This was a good start. But she saw Lu Mian suddenly put down his chopsticks, stood up and said: "You eat slowly
Well, it’s almost time, I’ll go to my parents-in-law’s house first.”
Lin Jinrong put down his chopsticks, went to get his robe from the hanger, and put it on him: "Be careful on the road."
Lu Yan suddenly looked back at her with dark eyes.
Lin Jinrong looked directly at him: "Second Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"No. There will be nothing going on at home right now. You can sleep a little longer." Lu Yan pursed his lips and turned around: "I'm leaving." He walked to the door, paused briefly, and strode out.
Lin Jinrong sat back at the table, put the white fish and plum blossom cakes he gave her on the plate, and picked other food to eat. After eating, she let Li Zhi and others share the food, and sat aside to read a book to eat.
Just after reading two pages of the book, Lizhi came up and whispered: "Grandma, you have to be careful. This third wife is really not an economical lamp. She is deliberately testing you. But you can't ignore it, Mrs.
You have to take good care of her there, and she can't relax here. If she says something unpleasant to you to the second master, that won't be good."
Seeing her face full of worry, Lin Jinrong couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay. Make my bed."
Lin Jinrong caught up on her sleep, and figured it was time for Lin Yuzhen to get up from her nap. She tidied up a little and went to Lin Yuzhen's place to meet her. On the way, she passed Lu Yun's yard, and Aunt Gui reminded her: "Should you call the eldest girl and come with us?"
This is an opportunity to get acquainted with my sister-in-law.
Lin Jinrong said calmly: "No need." Without waiting for Aunt Gui to speak again, she went straight ahead.
