As soon as Lin Jinrong came out of Rongjing Residence, she was called to Lin Yuzhen's yard again.
Lin Yuzhen made it clear: "You want to be in charge, but there are not many people in your yard who can take charge. Aunt Gui has not left the yard for so long since she came in. The cherry is too small, the bean is too honest, and the longan
She is a boring person, so she needs to use some lychees, but you can't rely on her for everything. I thought about it and decided to ask Fangzhu to help you. You may not know Fangzhu, she has been following me since she was a child.
She has always been taking care of Erlang when he was in Jiangnan. He does a good job, is very capable, and is good at making soup. Her man is also in the outer courtyard. If you want to convey something, it is convenient for you to ask for something. What do you think?
"
Lin Jinrong looked at Fang Zhu who was standing aside with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and smiled faintly: "I dare not say goodbye to this gift from my elders. My aunt loves me so much, how can I not appreciate it?"
Lin Yuzhen was very satisfied and asked Fangzhu to kowtow to Lin Jinrong on the spot and reprimand Fangzhu in front of Lin Jinrong. After asking Fangzhu to step back, she said: "Have you told the old man that you have to take care of the warehouse?
"
Lin Jinrong said without blinking: "I was about to tell you about this, but as soon as I went, the old man praised me." Seeing Lin Yuzhen's surprised look, she felt a hidden sense of satisfaction in her heart: "He said, I understand.
Advance and retreat, steady and steady, he did not misjudge me."
Lychee listened from behind and couldn't help but blink. At that time, Mrs. Lu just said, now that you have decided, just do it. How come it has become such a clear compliment now? Lin Jinrong said this in the slightest.
There was no hesitation or guilt, and she wasn't afraid that these words would reach the old man's ears?
Lin Yuzhen would never have thought that Lin Jinrong would dare to make it up, so she became completely dejected at that time, triggering endless speculation. Does she know how to advance or retreat? If Lin Jinrong listened to her and really chose those two things, wouldn't it mean that she didn't know how to advance or retreat? The old man is
What do you mean? Is this an opportunity to warn myself? After all, I still cherish my second wife.
"Aunt, what else do you want to tell me?" Lin Jinrong carefully observed Lin Yuzhen's expression. Seeing her change from surprise to disappointment, from disappointment to realization, from suddenness to contemplation, she knew that her words had an effect - in a short time
, Lin Yuzhen and her daughter will not have many actions anymore.
Lin Yuzhen raised her head and waved her hand impatiently: "Go down. Remember, don't just focus on the sewing room. If you have nothing to do, just go to your second aunt's place and learn your skills from her.
Even if you don't need it now, you will need it one day in the future, and you will always have your own housekeeper."
"Yes. Then you can have a rest early." Lin Jinrong felt that this was the most correct thing Lin Yuzhen had said since she entered the house.
Lin Jinrong had just walked out of the door, and Lu Yun walked out from behind the screen. Lin Yuzhen said: "Ayun, what do you mean by your grandfather? I thought he asked your sister-in-law to follow the housekeeper just to gradually divide the family.
Second room, I mean to help your second brother and second sister-in-law up."
Lu Yun was also a little confused. After thinking for a moment, he whispered: "I feel that since my grandfather has spoken, he will not just give up a sewing room. Maybe he will have to see her other performances before he is reassured.
.She will never be satisfied with just a sewing room, let’s take a look first and then talk about it.”
This can only be done for the time being. To be honest, now Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong are really not enough to support the second wife. Lin Yuzhen thought helplessly for a while, wishing that Lu Yan would quickly pass the Jinshi examination, and she wished that Lin Jinrong would hurry up and give birth to a fat son.
It would be better if the chips you hold in your hand are bigger and heavier.
It was just five o'clock in the morning, and Lin Jinrong got up as usual. Li Zhi advised: "Grandma, the second master is not at home, you can sleep a little longer. The ladies on the left and right didn't get up until Chen Zhengzheng." This is the only benefit of being Lin Yuzhen's daughter-in-law.
Old Mrs. Lu didn't like to be disturbed in the morning, and Lin Yuzhen didn't care about anything, so she naturally got up late, so there was no need to rush to her place at all hours of the day to serve her.
Lin Jinrong said seriously: "There are a lot of things to do today."
Just after she finished washing up, she heard Dou'er say in surprise: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
A thin and soft voice said: "Are you Dou'er? Grandma, have you gotten up?"
Lychee said in surprise: "She came early, and everyone knows her well enough." She lowered her voice and said: "Grandma, do you want it, huh?" This person is clearly the nail that was planted in. Although he can't refuse, he has to make it difficult.
It's not impossible.
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "Why bother? Don't do boring things. Let her come in, and then call everyone in to meet." She must make Fangzhu feel the warmth of spring and complete trust.
"You must live in harmony and don't make people laugh." After Lin Jinrong introduced the origin of Fangzhu, Dou'er and Yingtao were just fine, but Grandma Gui felt extremely uneasy. At such an age and with such an identity
, isn't she just like a mother who takes care of things? Guiyuan also bit her lip, worried, and wanted to remind Lin Jinrong, but her status was not as good as before, so she didn't dare to move forward, so she had to think about persuading Li Zhi to give her advice.
Lin Jinrong saw the discomfort and worries of her mother and daughter, and did not comfort her. He only ordered Fangzhu and Lizhi to accompany her to find Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song was much more enthusiastic this time than yesterday and did not deliberately create difficulties.
She happily went to the sewing room with her and met with Nanny Xu's people. After the training, Ms. Song strongly invited Lin Jinrong to observe the housework. Lin Jinrong did not refuse, but refused to listen.
He said that he had seen Mrs. Song's superb housekeeping skills and heard Mrs. Song yawning non-stop at noon. Knowing that the afternoon was her private time, she excused herself with a look and went to Lin Yuzhen's room to serve and eat with Lin Yuzhen.
lunch.
Lin Yuzhen saw that she was carrying Fangzhu with her when she came in and out, so she just asked a few casual questions and then left. Lin Jinrong saw the opportunity and said that she wanted to see Lin Shiquan and put on the makeup and dowry.
Lin Yuzhen didn't have any objections to her managing her dowry, and besides, she was meeting a clan brother, not a foreigner, so she agreed generously.
Lin Jinrong ordered Fang Zhu to do things unceremoniously: "No matter what method you use, you must send the message to me as soon as possible. The sooner the better." Then An Ran went to take a nap. When he woke up, Lin Shiquan had already entered the door and sat down.
Waiting for her in the flower hall.
Lychee smiled and said: "This is really fast. If we let others deliver the letter, why would it take another hour or two?"
Lin Jinrong raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, what use would I have for her?" Everyone has their own advantages, not just disadvantages. Isn't Fangzhu's strength the same as conveying things and news in the inner and outer courtyards? Of course, we must make full use of it.
Lin Shiquan was dressed brand new today. Although the blue-gray round-necked narrow-sleeved shirt was simple and unpretentious, the materials and workmanship were very exquisite. The jade pendant hanging around his waist was also of excellent quality. His figure was tall and straight, and his manners were calm. He was every bit as good as Lin.
, a descendant of the Lu family. Lin Jinrong couldn't help but laugh when he saw him: "The third brother is really a talented person."
"I can't embarrass you when I enter your house for the first time." Lin Shiquan looked Lin Jinrong up and down, and saw that the greenness in her eyebrows had faded, and her expression seemed to be good, but she was still worried: "You still have
Okay? How does he treat you?" It is a well-known secret that Lin Jinrong refused to marry Lu Yan before.
Lin Jinrong lowered his head and smiled: "It's okay. I'm just living my life anyway." Not wanting to say more, he quickly turned to the topic: "The tea shop we talked about last time, I wonder how the third brother is preparing for it these days?"
Lin Shiquan hurriedly told her the preparations he had made during this period: "The main problem now is the store. Should I rent or buy? I think it is more cost-effective to buy than to rent. After all, the changes to be made are too big and the investment will be huge."
It’s a lot, and if the owner refuses to rent it again in the future, the loss will be huge.”
The biggest difference between the tea shops in Jiangnan and Hepingzhou lies in their elegance. A high-quality tea shop also has a place to sell tea on the street, but inside it is an elegant courtyard. You can enter along the long corridor, separated by
Create countless spacious and bright elegant rooms, with famous flowers and plants, landscapes, calligraphy and paintings, and fragrant music, all of which are indispensable. Guests can ask the tea master to perform tea sharing, or they can do it themselves, they can enjoy it, or they can invite a group of people to compete.
This kind of tea shop is completely different from ordinary shops. After renting a shop, the changes made in the early stage will be very large. From a long-term perspective, it is naturally more cost-effective to buy than to rent. Therefore, Lin Shiquan's consideration is not unreasonable.
Lin Jinrong had already made plans: "What if I don't plan to do this business for a long time, and only plan to do it for five years, is it more cost-effective to rent or buy?"
Lin Shiquan was startled: "Then it is a good deal to rent. But why only operate it for five years? I am confident that I can do a good job in this shop."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "It's not that I don't believe Third Brother. You are no better than before these years. If I give you one dollar, you can quickly turn it into two, right?"
Lin Shiquan smiled sheepishly: "It's all you, fourth sister..."
"Let's not talk about this. It's boring. Third brother thinks I'm good, but I can't live without him." Lin Jinrong never believed that Lin Shiquan's success was all due to her help. It was true that she gave Lin Shiquan a chance, but she also had a close relationship with Lin Shiquan.
There is a great relationship between one's own efforts and hard work and intelligence. They are balanced and mutually beneficial. However, she cannot tell Lin Shiquan her true plan clearly yet. She must borrow Lu Mian's story and say: "I just feel that maybe in the future
We may not stick to Pingzhou. Min Xing is doing well in school."
Lin Shiquan's eyes lit up: "Yes, I will definitely pass the exam in the future. Pingzhou is too small and remote. Even if the business is good, it will not be much better. If it is other prosperous places, it will be different.
"In Pingzhou, if one copper coin is dropped, it will take a lot of effort to turn it into three. If it is in the prosperous land of Jiangnan, it can easily turn into three.
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "That's exactly what it means. So we have to save more money and not waste a penny. When writing the deed, the third brother must remember to write it for five years, and don't give him the chance to go back and raise the price." Five
Years later, regardless of whether the shop would be burned down in the bandits, she could not leave it to the Lu family for nothing.
