In Rongjing Juli, Mrs. Lu was spinning a string of Buddhist beads carefully carved from small-leaf red sandalwood. She half-closed her eyes and listened to Lin Jinrong reading scriptures. Lin Jinrong's voice was round and soft, and his expression was serious and solemn.
The big-tailed squirrel also stopped eating pine nuts and squatted quietly. Grandma Sha and Su Xin stood aside quietly, as if they were in trance.
A warm breeze blew in from the window, first blowing the lotus-colored plain gauze curtain into a wave-like ripple, and then blowing the cigarettes hovering above the Yaozhou celadon carved flower and plant pattern incense burner under the tent.
Then he blew the strands of hair in front of Lin Jinrong's forehead into the air.
I wonder what happened to Lin Shiquan and Mrs. Lu outside? Lin Jinrong was still reciting scriptures fluently, but his eyes drifted away with the warm wind and fell by the door. Mrs. Lu raised her eyelids and followed
She glanced over. There was nothing next to the door, only the purple magnolia in full bloom in the bottle on the yellow pear wood shelf.
Old Mrs. Lu calmly withdrew her gaze, continued to turn the rosary beads, and silently followed Lin Jinrong in chanting. When she finished reciting a section, she saw that Lin Jinrong was about to turn the pages of the book, so she said gently: "That's it for today. You are tired.
It's hard for you to stay with me, an old woman, all day long."
In the past, I always had to finish reading, but today I was interrupted early. Maybe I found myself distracted. Lin Jinrong was slightly embarrassed: "It doesn't matter." She concentrated her mind and continued reading. After reading, she felt a little restless.
Calm down. What's there to be anxious about? What's the use of anxiety? Mr. Lu can't eat Lin Shiquan.
Hearing that her voice was getting calmer and calmer, and even had a kind of rhythmic beauty, Mrs. Lu nodded secretly with satisfaction. After she finished reciting the scriptures, she handed the rosary beads in her hand to her and said, "Erlang is not at home.
You have worked hard on your own. This string of beads has been with me for more than ten years, and I give it to you. Go ahead."
Lin Jinrong held the string of rosary beads and was a little dumbfounded. She was still so young. Was this asking her to cultivate her moral character during the days when Lu Mian was not at home, and to recite more Buddhist scriptures when she was free? Although she thought so, she still put the string of rosary beads in her hands.
He put the beads on his wrist and stepped out respectfully.
When it was time to hold the lantern, Fang Zhu came in to deliver the message: "Grandma, Mr. Lin and the old man have been drinking until now. They are both a little drunk. Just now, the old man arranged a car to take Mr. Lin back."
Since both of them were a little drunk, it meant that Mr. Lu at least didn't hate Lin Shiquan, and it would be much easier for Lin Shiquan to enter and leave the Lu family in the future. Lin Jinrong was relieved and planned to ask him what they had talked about today when he saw Lin Shiquan the next day.
something.
Fangzhu stood aside with her hands tied and her eyes lowered, silent and silent, not hearing the sound of breathing. Lin Jinrong suddenly wanted to test and test, what would happen to her if he forgot to ask her to step back? I thought back then, he had always treated her respectfully.
, I had never tried this before. So I pretended to be thinking about something and kept my head half-down without saying a word.
The time for a cup of tea passed in the blink of an eye. She was still sitting still, and Fangzhu was also standing still. Lychee looked on in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, but he didn't bother her, and he was quiet.
Stand by quietly.
After about a cup of tea, Aunt Gui opened the curtain and came in. She said with a smile: "Grandma, I have stewed white fungus and red dates soup for you. Can you eat it while it's hot?" After seeing this scene for a while, she couldn't figure out the reason.
, he suppressed his voice and looked left and right.
Lin Jinrong couldn't keep up the pretense, so Fang acted as if he had just remembered it, and said with some embarrassment: "Look at me, I'm so obsessed with thinking that I made Fangzhu wait here for so long." Then he blamed Li Zhi: "You too
If you don’t remind me, if Aunt Gui hadn’t brought the soup in, wouldn’t I have been in a daze all the time? Let me keep standing?”
Li Zhi said aggrievedly: "Aren't you afraid of interrupting grandma's thoughts?" No matter how well done, no matter how dignified the elders reward you, you are still a slave after all. You can't always give way to Fang Zhu just because of this.
No matter how good or careful a person is, they will inevitably develop arrogance, and they must not let go when they should be warned.
Fangzhu smiled, knelt down and saluted, without any anger in her voice: "It's inappropriate, grandma is too polite, and the slave is uneasy."
Aunt Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief, served the white fungus and red date soup, and said with a smile: "What do you think grandma is so obsessed with?"
Lin Jinrong held up the bowl and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter has something to do with Fangzhu. I just thought about asking for your help, so I didn't let you go. But as soon as I thought about it, I thought deeply about it and forgot about it."
Fangzhu's expression remained unchanged: "Grandma, what do you want to tell me to do?"
Lin Jinrong said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. You see, my brother came today and discussed the dowry with me. This lady knows about it."
"Yes." Fangzhu listened carefully. She sent a letter to invite the person. Of course she knew the whole story. But Lin Jinrong didn't trust her and found an excuse to get rid of her when they arrived at the flower hall. So what did Lin Jinrong want her to do?
, she didn’t know, just intuition would not be a good thing.
Lin Jinrong added: "I have to go out the next day. Both my grandfather and grandmother have promised it, but they haven't had time to tell my wife yet. If I go to tell her now, I'm always worried that she will think that I'll kill it first and tell her later.
I put her in my eyes, which made me angry. Fangzhu, you have been with your wife for a long time, and your wife always praises you for being smart and capable. Do you have a way to let your wife allow me to go out without being angry with me?
"Going out is completely different from having people come to the house to take care of business. Lin Yuzhen will not allow it easily, but she must go out. This kind of embarrassing and labor-intensive matter should be left to the capable and considerate Fang Zhu.
.
Fangzhu's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
This errand is not easy to handle. Lin Yuzhen's temper is exactly what Lin Jinrong said. If Lin Jinrong did not obtain the permission of the old man and the old lady in advance, it is entirely possible that Lin Yuzhen would not allow Lin Jinrong to go out, maybe because she was in a bad mood, maybe because she wanted to show off.
The prestige of her mother-in-law. And if Lin Jinrong obtained the consent of his two elders before informing Lin Yuzhen, Lin Yuzhen would be unhappy no matter what. She felt that Lin Jinrong did not take her seriously and would definitely make things difficult for her in every possible way.
But this errand must be done. She had just entered Lin Jinrong's door and Lin Jinrong asked her to do an errand. If she couldn't do it well, she would be looked down upon. How would she win Lin Jinrong's trust in the future? But if she did this errand, it would mean everything for Lin Yuzhen.
She had to resist the anger.
Lin Jinrong looked at Fangzhu's expression and sighed in disappointment: "There's nothing you can do? I thought you must have it. What should I do? When my mother gave you to me yesterday, I was so happy. Still
Thinking that from now on, there will be help both internally and externally. Alas..."
After hearing this, Fangzhu quickly made up his mind: "If grandma is at ease, let me try it first." Whether it succeeds or fails, you have to try it and you can't shirk it.
Lin Jinrong looked at her with interest: "What are you going to do?"
Fangzhu spoke softly and authentically: "I have no other skills. I am honest and loyal. My wife knows best. It is just a small matter. My wife has always been considerate and will not care about it."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm waiting for your good news."
Fangzhu bowed meticulously and stepped back steadily, without even a sound of footsteps being heard. Thinking that she had probably left the house, Aunt Gui said, "Grandma, do you believe her?"
Lin Jinrong smiled: "If you don't believe her, who can you believe? Is there anyone more suitable to deal with my wife than her?"
Aunt Gui said: "She was given by my wife, so how can she help you? She will do whatever my wife says. If you really want to go out but don't want to make your wife angry, you might as well go find and invite the older girl.
Please help me talk to my wife."
"Then it depends on whether she is really smart or fake. I don't care what she does, I just want to see the results." The smile on Lin Jinrong's face became lighter and lighter: "Mommy, you always think that older girls are very good?"
Although Aunt Gui didn't know what was going on between her and Lu Yun, she had been accompanying her for many years and knew that she was a little unhappy. She hurriedly said: "In this family, she and my wife are the closest to us."
Lin Jinrong said: "You are right. Then who do you think is the most reliable and closest person to you?" Guiyuan can be ranked first, but Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun cannot be ranked in front of her.
Aunt Gui's face changed slightly, and she said in a panic: "Grandma, for this old slave, you are of course the most reliable. You are my lifelong support." She said this sincerely, but she didn't understand why she was just a
The kind suggestion prompted Lin Jinrong to ask such a question. Although Lu Yun loved to reward her, he did so openly and did not deliberately hide anything from anyone. She had never had second thoughts after receiving something.
Lin Jinrong had no intention of beating around the bush with her, and said bluntly: "Mom, just remember this. You all remember, except for me, the masters of this family, no one will ever treat you so well. No matter how well they treat you now,
It’s just because of me. I’m not afraid of being stupid. What I’m afraid of is that I have to pretend to be smart when I’m stupid. You can think about it for yourselves after you go down.”
Aunt Gui's face was as white as paper. She was embarrassed and staggered back. Lychee said worriedly: "Grandma, isn't this good? Aunt Gui will be sad. She is a good person and she is dedicated to you."
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and ate the white fungus soup in the bowl, and said softly: "I know it. No matter how good your heart is, if you don't know how to do things, you will still kill people. If I can't take care of my own room first, how can I take care of the outside?"
Don't be ridiculous. I can take care of them precisely because I still have them in my heart. If I no longer have them in my heart, I won't take care of them anymore."
Li Zhi sighed and found Aunt Gui who was hiding in the room wiping her tears. She told Aunt Gui what Lin Jinrong said later. Aunt Gui sat in silence for a moment, wiped her tears and stopped crying. She only asked Li Zhi to help.
, collected Lu Yunshang's things in a box, put it aside and locked it.
I don’t know what Fang Zhu told Lin Yuzhen. The next morning, when Lin Jinrong went to greet Lin Yuzhen, she mentioned the matter. Although Lin Yuzhen was not very happy, she did not have an attack and agreed lightly. Lin Jinrong didn’t care whether she was happy or not.
She only knew that everything was difficult at the beginning, and she finally took the first step in going out alone.
