It was night, dozens of candles illuminated Rongjing Residence brightly. An eight-panel landscape screen divided the lobby into two halves. Inside were the women and children headed by Mrs. Lu, and outside were the men headed by Mrs. Lu. .
It was said that it was a family reunion, but the meal was very quiet. Everyone had their own thoughts. Only Lu Shao's two sons, Yuanlang and Haolang, were still young. They were sitting aside with their wet nurse. If you eat this, you will eat that later, and if you are not satisfied, you will pout.
Lu was extremely irritable. She tried to coax her a few times but had no effect, so she had to scold Yuan Lang: "You are so old and you don't understand the rules at all. How can I expect you? If you make trouble again, stop eating and put him back in the room!"
Yuan Lang was only six or seven years old, and he had always been pampered. When he saw this situation, he naturally refused to obey. He opened his mouth and dropped the two golden beans.
Mrs. Song warned Mrs. Lu with a straight face: "It's normal for a child to be greedy. Why are you scolding him for being so greedy? How many times have I told you not to mess with children when eating. You are trying to disturb everyone. Can’t even eat it?”
Mrs. Lu lowered her eyes in grievance: "My mother-in-law taught me that it's all my daughter-in-law's fault."
Lu Yun winked at Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong was looking at her nose and nose, and was concentrating on adding food and dishes. She knew what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were doing. One was angry and couldn't hold back her anger, and wanted to use the topic to express herself, while the other He was a cunning old man, and when he saw something bad was about to happen, he said everything he needed to say before anyone else could say anything. Then, it was up to Old Mrs. Lu to smooth things over.
Sure enough, Old Mrs. Lu smiled and lovingly extended her hand towards Yuan Lang: "Come, dear grandson, come to great-grandmother. Oh, my little dear, let's not cry. What do you want to eat? Tell great-grandmother, I'll give it to you. You clip."
Yuan Lang laughed through his tears and stood still in the arms of Mrs. Lu. He pointed at the dishes on the table and said: "I want to eat frozen stone head and fried spring goose." There was a girl from Su Xin who was waiting for him. Vegetables, comforting and taking care of them softly.
Seeing that Yuan Lang stopped making trouble and Mrs. Lu calmed down, Mrs. Lu said: "Let the eldest son's wife and the second son's wife sit down and eat, and let the girls take care of them. There are no outsiders today, they are all family members, so there is no need to abide by this rule. It’s rare to get together in one place, just for the sake of liveliness and harmony. Sit down, sit down.”
Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lin Jinrong bowed and thanked them, then sat down. Mrs. Lu ordered Lin Yuzhen and Mr. Song to pick up dishes for their respective daughters-in-law, and the atmosphere became harmonious again.
After dinner, the girls and ladies cleared away the tables and chairs, removed the screens, served tea and fruits, and the whole family sat leisurely drinking tea and talking. After tea, Mrs. Lu coughed slightly, and the whole family fell silent in unison. , listen to him quietly.
Mr. Lu's eyes slowly swept over the heads and faces of his sons, grandsons, and daughter-in-law one by one: "Today we gather together has two meanings. First, Erlang and A Rong are getting married and will be one month old soon. Erlang is about to get married." Going to Mr. Zhu’s place to continue studying is a farewell farewell for him; secondly, my second daughter-in-law has been working very hard over the years, very hard.”
Mr. Lu increased his tone, looked at Mrs. Song and Lu Jianzhong and said with deep emotion: "Your mother has been in poor health these years. The eldest daughter-in-law went to Jiangnan to take care of the eldest son. It is the second daughter-in-law who takes care of the old and young at home, runs the housework, and controls Servant, you work hard from dawn to dusk, and do a very, very good job. The second daughter-in-law is the main contributor to the current situation in our family."
Mrs. Song's face was full of emotion and embarrassment: "My father-in-law praised my daughter-in-law for killing her. We are all members of the same family. This is what the daughter-in-law should do. How dare she take credit?"
It's so artificial. Lin Yuzhen curled her lips with disdain, lowered her head and played with the pigeon blood ruby ring on her hand. Tu looked at her, then at Song, and then at Lin Jinrong, with a look of interest on her face.
Mr. Lu waved his hand towards Mrs. Song: "Don't be humble. It's your credit. I won't scold people, nor will I praise people for nothing. I can't bear to let you work so hard for a long time, but there is no other way. Thank you
With the help of my wife, I feel more at ease."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her eyes lit up, and she raised her head and looked at Old Mrs. Lu hopefully. Mr. Lu looked at her and smiled gently: "My wife is also a virtuous and capable woman. It's really good." Before Mrs. Lu could get up, he was self-effacing.
, he changed the topic and said loudly: "But, I also saw this time when I went back. The whole family was idle, but your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy. It's really outrageous." He looked at Lin Jinrong and said: "Second wife!"
Lin Jinrong had been waiting for him to turn around. After hearing this, he immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Yes, grandfather."
Mr. Lu's eyes flashed under his eyebrows: "You have to prepare well these two days. Starting from the tenth day of the lunar month, you will follow your second aunt and sister-in-law to learn how to manage the house. You must work hard, don't be lazy, and get started as soon as possible.
Do you understand?"
Lin Jinrong agreed and expressed her determination not to do anything. Although Mr. Lu loved to talk and was good at talking, in front of him, no words were more convincing than actual actions.
Old Mrs. Lu looked at Ms. Song and Ms. Lu again: "You are not allowed to spoil her. Let her do what she should do. You are not allowed to hide anything. You must teach what needs to be taught and remind what needs to be reminded."
Haha: "Second brother knows, I have a temper. If the person below does something wrong, it is not only his fault, but also the manager's fault. Why? Because the manager failed to fulfill his duties and did not care about things."
Just like when the elder brother did something wrong, it was because he didn’t teach him well; when the second brother did something wrong, it was because I didn’t teach him well.”
This meaning is too clear. Lu Shao stood up with a "swish", his face was full of humility, and Lu Jianzhong's fat and white face was full of smiles: "Yes, yes, dad is right."
Song's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and a smile that was gentle and generous to the extreme slowly bloomed on her face: "Don't worry, father-in-law, my daughter-in-law will definitely treat Ah Rong like a grown-up man's wife. She won't be spoiled.
I won’t ignore you without teaching you.”
Mrs. Lu also stood up, lowered her eyes and said dryly: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson-in-law will treat Ah Rong like her own sisters."
Lin Jinrong stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Song and Mrs. Lu seriously: "I'm going to cause trouble to my aunt and sister-in-law."
Mrs. Song smiled and helped her up, and said affectionately: "Ah Rong said polite words, you are here to lighten my burden. Why are you causing trouble? I hope you can straighten your hands quickly so that I can be with you."
Go and enjoy happiness like your mother-in-law."
Lin Jinrong glanced at Mrs. Lu with a smile and said softly: "Isn't the second aunt just enjoying the blessings of my elder sister-in-law? I am not as capable as my elder sister-in-law."
Lu laughed, half truthfully, half bitterly, half envy: "How can any of my younger siblings have the ability?" How could the old man be so supportive and protective? What else is there but ability?
Lin Yuzhen said energetically: "Ah Rong, your second aunt's housekeeping skills are very good. You have to learn all your second aunt's skills."
Mr. Lu waved his hand: "Okay, I've said all that needs to be said, let's go. The second daughter-in-law goes back and thinks about it carefully. Let Ah Rong start from where."
Mrs. Song agreed, holding Lin Jinrong's hand affectionately, and kept talking: "Come here when you are free, and we will discuss it carefully."
"Yes." Lin Jinrong also smiled like her and arched his eyebrows. He raised his eyes and met Lu Yan's eyes, but saw that there was no smile in his eyes. He lowered his eyes when he saw her.
Lin Jinrong was puzzled. Just as he was about to explore further, Lu Lun came over with a smile and pretended to give her a deep bow: "Second sister-in-law, you can't be lazy this time." After getting up, he hugged her encouragingly behind everyone else's back.
Make a fist.
After leaving Rongjingju, Lu Yan walked in front slowly, and Lin Jinrong followed him leisurely. He didn't say anything, and neither did she. Halfway through the walk, Lu Yanfang turned around and asked her: "Two
Auntie will definitely ask you where you want to learn housekeeping, and what do you want to do first?"
Lin Jinrong said: "I haven't thought about it yet. Although my grandfather has made his attitude clear, he can't take care of everything down to the smallest detail. With him in charge, big things won't go wrong, but small things are also annoying.
"
Lu Yan twitched the corners of his lips: "I think you have already been confident."
"How could it be?" Lin Jinrong naturally refused to admit it, "I am worried here. Fortunately, there are still two days left, so I can think about it slowly."
Lu Yan waited for a while, but saw that she didn't mean to talk about the matter in depth, so he turned around and walked forward. After returning to the room, Fang said: "I will concentrate on studying tomorrow. You can pack my luggage and give it to me again."
Sirs and my wife, please prepare a gift. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it must be exquisite.”
Lin Jinrong took off his outer shirt for him and came casually: "I will give you two lings of raw meat that has been stored for a long time, plus a jar of shrimps pickled in wine, two pounds of dried whitebait, ten pounds of game meat, and two jars of lychee wine. Look.
how?"
"That's right." Lu Yan looked back at her in surprise: "Mr. loves them all." Sirs, you love elegant calligraphy and painting, as well as delicious food. These things Lin Jinrong gave are not very expensive, but they are rare and are sent to your heart.
If you go, you will definitely be liked by all the gentlemen.
Lin Jinrong smiled: "That's good. All gentlemen deserve respect, and you must respect them well."
On the tenth day of the lunar month, just before the fourth watch, Lu Yan had already opened his eyes. He turned his head and looked at Lin Jinrong, who was sleeping peacefully beside him, tentatively put his hand into her quilt and placed it on her waist.
Lin Jinrong was shocked, quickly woke up, and whispered: "What's wrong?"
Lu Yan didn't say anything, he just hugged her tightly, then turned her over on top of him, pressing her head tightly against his chest. Lin Jinrong closed her eyes obediently, and gently hugged his shoulders. Lu Yan
His breath suddenly became more rapid, and his movements became more and more wild.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but persuade in a low voice: "Be gentle, you have to get up early and be on your way."
Lu remained silent and almost broke her waist with his hands. Lin Jinrong bit her lip and let her long hair fall down and cover her face.
When the first ray of sunlight fell on the wall, Lin Jinrong finally sent Lu Mian away.
