To be honest, Lin Jinrong didn't think there was anything unusual about this cave. You couldn't go in to see it, so you could only take a peek outside. Throwing a stone in and not hearing any sound was just to satisfy some people's desire to go out for a visit.
The fisherman probably thought that the rich young masters and grandmas had nothing to do after they were full, so he came so far to see a cave with nothing in it. However, the biggest employer, after throwing the stone, just folded his arms and laughed.
Lychee was very flattered and went up to ask a few boring questions. Changshou picked up a few stones and handed them to Lin Jinrong: "Grandma, do you want to throw one in?"
Lin Jinrong smiled and threw one piece and another. Lu Yan pursed his lips, looked up at the sky, and said listlessly: "It's so sunny, let's go back."
As the sun set, the awning boat moved forward slowly in the waves. Lu Yan took a bamboo flute and played while Lin Jinrong sat on the bow of the boat, silently watching the fisherman cook.
There was not much to do in the old house, and there were no elders to serve. In addition, Lu Yan also consciously reduced the time he spent studying and often went out for walks. There was always one meal that he did not eat at home every day. After Lin Jinrong recuperated his energy,
I was so busy that I took Lychee and Dou'er together and walked along the high and cold courtyard walls to all the courtyards that could be entered.
Mr. Lu is a good manager. There is never a shortage of food in the family, but it is always the new food of the year. When the new food enters the warehouse every year, it is the time when the old food leaves the warehouse. There will be no waste and at the same time, people will be full. Water Well
There are five or six wells, all of them are old. The stones at the wellhead have been polished by time and become smooth and slippery, and are cold to the touch.
Mrs. Yu, who was looking after the old house, was over sixty years old and still very energetic. Seeing that Lin Jinrong seemed to be very interested in the old house, she had to introduce it: "Grandma, the masters in the family don't like the old house very much. They dislike it."
The old house is narrow and cold, but back then, the old lady in the family relied on its high and thick walls to escape the war."
"What do you say?" Lin Jinrong was moved in her heart, and ordered Lychee to carry a spoon to Mrs. Yu, poured tea soup and handed it over. Master and servant sat together in the yard to bask in the sun and listen to Mrs. Yu talking about ancient times.
Mrs. Yu rarely had contact with her masters on weekdays. She was naturally very happy to see the new grandma paying her respects. She held a tea cup and told her everything she knew: "When I was a little girl, I heard the old people at home say
However, we were not so close to each other back then. At that time, if things went wrong at that time, Daerong’s troops would come over, burning, killing, looting, and causing trouble. One spring, I came from Qingzhou and killed
When we arrived at Pingzhou, we jumped here again. The old man at home escaped the military disaster by relying on these high and thick walls."
Lin Jinrong frowned and said: "I'm afraid those soldiers will retreat quickly, right? There aren't many people?" She felt that even the city walls of Qingzhou and Pingzhou couldn't withstand it, so how could a small old Lu family house withstand it?
?Probably a small group of stragglers.
Mrs. Yu smiled awkwardly: "That's probably it. The old slave was behind and didn't see it with his own eyes. Anyway, he knew that such a thing happened. Many of the Lu family members were hiding in this yard. Grandma didn't believe it, so she just found someone.
You can ask anyone of any age."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "There's no need to ask." He turned around and called Li Zhi and gave Mrs. Yu a plate of cakes and dozens of dollars.
Mrs. Yu was so happy: "Grandma, if you want to know anything else, just ask the old slave. In this old house, the old slave is the most familiar."
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "That's it for today. If you have any questions, I'll ask grandma to come over and talk."
After Mrs. Yu left, Lin Jinrong looked carefully at the courtyard wall, then found an excuse to take a look at the thick and heavy gate. She couldn't help but think, can she really withstand it? When the rebels first started causing trouble, they were so panicked.
Some people once said that it would be better to go back to their old home, but they were scoffed at. Even the walls of Pingzhou City couldn't stop it. How could a small courtyard block it? After that, the rebels quickly escaped into the mountains and forests, and they didn't stop again.
No one took it seriously. By the time the bandit soldiers suddenly rushed into Pingzhou City, it was too late. Therefore, no one tried to see if it really worked or not.
But in fact, she won't know whether it works or not, because at the last moment, she won't show up here at all. And the Lu clan people in Chishui, if they have that experience in previous generations, they will definitely come in and hide as usual.
. Lin Jinrong shook his head and pressed this matter into his heart.
When Lu Yan returned home in the evening, he saw Lin Jinrong leading Li Zhi and others to pack their things, and said hurriedly: "Isn't it just the eighth day of the Lunar New Year? Why are you packing your things already?"
Lin Jinrong said: "I was going to discuss this with you yesterday, but I forgot about it later. Although my grandfather asked us to go back on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, we can't really go back until then. It would be better to go back two days in advance." This will make it appear that they are doing this.
The younger generation misses the elders in the family, and everyone’s faces look good.
Lu Yan was silent for a moment and said, "You have the final say on these matters."
Lin Jinrong could see that he was a little unhappy, so she guessed that she didn't want to go back yet, so she ignored him and packed her things. From tomorrow on, she would stand in front of everyone in the Lu family with a different appearance than before.
Song, Lu, Lin Yuzhen, Lu Yun, no one can stop her.
At noon the next day, Lin Jinrong's carriage arrived in front of the Lu family's gate and received a different treatment. The gatekeeper quickly lowered the threshold and respectfully came forward to salute and say hello. Of course, it had been like this every time before.
But when a person's psychology changes, the feeling conveyed to people is completely different.
This change was not only noticed by Lu Yan who was following outside on horseback, but also Lin Jinrong who was sitting in the carriage. She heard Lu Yan calmly telling Changshou to take money to buy wine and food for his disciple, who said many nice things.
When we reached the second gate, the carriage stopped. The old lady who was looking at the second gate rushed up, took a stool, opened the curtain and helped Lin Jinrong out of the car. Her expression and tone were like three autumns after not seeing her in one day: "What a second grandma."
, go and report quickly, the second master and the second grandma are back."
At this time, Lin Jinrong no longer put on airs, and got out of the car with the woman's help with a smile, and told Li Zhi: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom, take some money to buy a drink for Mom."
The old lady answered with a smile, and said some auspicious words, which she could talk about endlessly. It wasn't until Lu Yan frowned that she stopped talking, and ordered someone to pack up the carriage with a smile.
The couple didn't bother to wash up. They went to Juxian Pavilion first to say hello to Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu was very happy and said kindly: "Why don't you stay a few more days? Didn't I ask you to stay until the tenth day of the lunar month and then come back?"
Lu Yan smiled and looked at Lin Jinrong: "Arong said that our grandfather gives us dignity, so we should cherish it more."
Lin Jinrong followed: "Grandpa, I have mercy on you, but I have never heard of anyone else having a bride as blessed as me. Blessings must be cherished and used."
These words greatly pleased Mr. Lu. The old man smiled so much that his thick eyebrows twitched: "Good girl, just cherish your blessings. Blessings don't happen randomly."
A thin layer of sweat soaked into Lin Jinrong's palms, and his expression became more submissive and cautious.
Mr. Lu glanced at her and asked Lu Yan: "Can you recognize everyone in the clan again?"
Lu Yan lowered his hand and replied: "My grandson has been walking next to me in the past few days, and everyone over ten years old can recognize him clearly."
"Okay!" Old Mrs. Lu patted his shoulder with approval and said earnestly: "You must study well, but you can't study rotely. The whole family will have dinner at Rongjingju tonight, and I will arrange for Ah Rong to follow your second aunt.
Butler, Ah Rong, are you afraid?"
Lin Jinrong smiled: "I'm not afraid." What's the use of being afraid? Now that we've reached this point, we can only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, if she has to be restricted from entering and exiting this house, how can she do what she wants to do?
Mr. Lu was in a good mood and motioned for them to follow him to the next door to see Lu Xi. Lu Lun still had the same sad face, his eyebrows were furrowed into splayed eyebrows, and he looked like he was worse off than dead, but Lu Xi sat there quietly.
As I write, my face becomes a little rosier and I gain a few ounces of flesh, and I don't look as ugly as before.
Old Mrs. Lu coughed, but Lu Lun didn't care. Lu Zhen immediately stood up and stood with his hands tied. He politely greeted Mr. Lu and said hello. He turned to Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong, moved his lips, and shouted in a very low voice.
: "Second brother, second sister-in-law."
Lu Yan responded seriously: "Eat well, exercise well, and study well."
Lu Gen lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Mrs. Lu said "Huh?" majestically, and Lu Jin immediately said reluctantly: "Yes." But from the beginning to the end, he was unwilling to look up at Lu Jin and Lin Jinrong.
Lu Yan's face showed a hint of waning interest, and he had no intention of staying any longer. Mr. Lu understood clearly and waved to let him and Lin Jinrong go back.
Mrs. Lu had known about this arrangement for a long time, so she encouraged Lin Jinrong and thoughtfully asked them to go to rest early.
The couple just came out of Rongjingju when they met Mr. Tu, who came to "say hello to Mrs. Lu." Mr. Tu was completely opposite to her previous sickly image. She was wearing a maroon jacket and a hairpin on her head.
He held a branch of Jin Bu Yao, also used some powder, held Lin Jinrong's hand cordially, and said slowly and softly: "Congratulations. You all know it. If you have any difficulties in the future and you need me, just do it."
As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."
"Thank you, Third Aunt, for your concern." Lin Jinrong smiled, and Mrs. Tu let go of her hand again, and went straight to the key target: "Erlang, you can go to study in peace, I am at home, and I will take good care of you.
Tolerant."
Lu was silent and said in a low voice: "Third Aunt, please take good care of yourself. Don't worry about other things if you can't worry about them. The sixth brother is still young, and he seems to be getting better now.
If you are free, you might as well make something he likes to eat and send it over. Grandpa is also working hard."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "Yes, third aunt, please don't worry about me. Take good care of her."
Tu looked at Lu Yan, then at Lin Jinrong, and nodded gently: "As long as you are all well, I will be relieved."

February pink 1110+, end!
Tomorrow will start the pink update for this month. It is initially set at 50 plus one update. Don’t blame me for the increase. The pink color is actually an incentive. It’s not that if you don’t vote for me, I won’t add more updates. As you know, under normal circumstances,
I always add as much as I can. But when there is a lot of pink, I get extra excited, haha...
There are only a few pink votes today, so give me some encouragement. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (
