Before Wu Heng arrived, he smiled and said: "Second brother, what are you doing? I saw you bowing and bowing from a long way away. How can you offend Ersao Lu just by coming here to see the tea? Tell me, what are you doing?
La?"
Wu Xiang smiled and said, "I offended her again by talking too much."
Lu Yan calmly stepped forward and stood side by side with Lin Jinrong. He smiled and said, "Ah Rong is not that stingy. You must have said it very harshly. Isn't it, Ah Rong?"
Lin Jinrong just smiled and said nothing.
Wu Xiang said: "Who said she is not stingy? I just said a few words to her girl, but she became sharp-tongued and unforgiving. In order to calm things down, I am not allowed to bow to her?"
Guiyuan came out holding the tea set, and said with a smile at the right time: "It's all a clumsy servant."
Wu Xiang walked back: "I won't say anything anymore. I have apologized anyway."
Wu Heng said: "Look at my second brother's temper. He has always only cared about temporary happiness and offended people everywhere. I hope the wise couple will not argue with him."
Lu Yan smiled faintly: "I know his temperament." Then he looked back at Lin Jinrong and said, "Let's go."
Not long after, Wuzhanglou brought a banquet. The three of them ate a little, chatted for a while, and then left.
The sun was setting in the west, the evening breeze was refreshing, and the carriage was walking leisurely on the street. It was quite leisurely. Lin Jinrong adjusted his posture and tried to make himself more comfortable: "Min Xing, I want to sit down tomorrow."
Go back to your parents’ house.”
Lu Yan said: "Let's go together. I've been here for a long time. I stopped briefly when I was sending my seventh brother back yesterday. It was time to go over and pay respects to the elders." After a pause, he asked: "A Rong, earlier
Why did Wu Xiang offend you?"
Lin Jinrong was well prepared and said with a smile: "It's not like you don't know his temper. He insisted on lending me those antiques of his. Of course I didn't want them, but he said that I was old-fashioned and stingy, which brought up my father. I
I was not polite to him and said a few harsh words to him."
Lu Yan tapped the short table with his finger a few times, and seemed to believe him: "His temper is really a headache. Do you know what he did in Beijing to make such a big mistake?"
Lin Jinrong said: "I don't know. If people don't take the initiative to talk about this kind of thing, it's hard to ask. Do you know?"
Lu Yan said: "I heard from a few people who went to take the exam with Wu Xiang. They have the same old habit of speaking openly. We have an old bachelor in Taiming Mansion who always takes good care of the people in his hometown. He specially stayed in Fengle Building.
The purpose of the treat was to introduce Wu Xiang and the others to the guests. There was a grandnephew who was said to be Taishi Wu. Everyone was flattering him, but Wu Xiang couldn't stand it, so he pretended to be drunk and said some nonsense.
, thus offending others, and this is how misfortune ensues. Thanks to Rong Lao for protecting me, otherwise I am afraid that I will suffer even more, and my whole life’s future may be ruined.”
She didn't expect it to be so dangerous, but Wu Xiang behaved like this. He really didn't have any regrets or couldn't think about it. He was as leisurely and happy as ever. She didn't know how to describe Wu Xiang's temperament. Lin Jinrong couldn't help but sigh: "People say eating
Every chasm brings wisdom, but I don't think he has been much alert because of this. As a saying goes, nature is easy to change but hard to change, so I think it will be difficult for him to change his temperament."
Lu Yan agreed: "I hope he will go well in this life and meet more people who love and cherish their talents."
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but take a serious look at him. Although the two were friends, they had never really convinced each other. Lu Yan had always wanted to surpass Wu Xiang, and Wu Xiang was unwilling to let Lu Yan surpass him. They
Their friendship began with mutual dissatisfaction and continued in mutual competition. It is difficult for Lu Yan to still have such thoughts. So, why did the two of them turn against each other in the future? It was Lu Yan who finally couldn't stand Wu Xiang.
Or is Wu Xiang unable to bear Lu Mian's over-seriousness and difficulty?
Lu Yan did not miss Lin Jinrong's glance, and said unhappily: "I'm not the kind of person you think I am." It was true that he wanted to win against Wu Xiang, he had always wanted to win, but what he wanted was an upright transcendence.
, instead of expecting Wu Xiang to have bad luck or anything like that. But he couldn't express his thoughts casually.
Lin Jinrong would not admit what she had just thought, so he smiled and said, "How could Min Xing say that? What kind of person do I think you are?"
Lu Yan didn't speak anymore, and felt that he couldn't talk to her. He turned around and saw Gui Yuan huddled in the corner listening to the two of them talking, and gave Gui Yuan a cold look.
Guiyuan was puzzled, scared and confused. She couldn't figure out why she had offended him again. It was obvious that she had been very careful and cautious since arriving at the Lu family. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly understood. This glare, she was afraid
It was because she had agreed with Wu Xiang's lies before. So she shrank back with guilt, her eyes fixed on the tips of the shoes, and her neck and back suddenly became so stiff and painful.
Lin Jinrong understood clearly and was very happy to see this situation, so he laughed and said: "Guiyuan, come here and fan me."
Guiyuan breathed a huge sigh of relief. Being able to move is better than being immobile, and being useful is better than being useless. So he put on a sweet smile, moved over, took a fan, and fanned Lin Jinrong slowly.
She firmly believed that as long as she took good care of Lin Jinrong, her situation would not get any worse. Lin Jinrong was the one who could control her life and death.
When they returned to Lu Mansion, not far from the second gate, they saw Tao Tao leading a few little girls with hairless hair, squatting in the corner to pick up stones and play with them, chattering and laughing non-stop. Fang Zhu started laughing.
Said: "The cherry is still small after all. Grandma is not at home, so I think she will be very happy."
Guiyuan cautiously boasted: "That's because our grandma is kind, otherwise how could this girl dare to be so presumptuous?"
Fang Zhu hurriedly followed the conversation and praised Lin Jinrong: "Yes, grandma is indeed a bodhisattva with a heart and never makes things difficult for others."
Lu Yan glanced at Lin Jinrong, his expression unclear. Lin Jinrong just pretended not to see it, smiled and said: "Let that girl come over." Before she could finish her words, Cherry had already spotted her, and ran over to salute: "
The second master and grandma are back? The wife ordered someone to come over and say, please go to Rongjing Residence as soon as you come back. Now the eldest wife, the second wife, the third wife, the eldest grandma, and the eldest girl are all there, that is to say
That incident in the morning." Then he leaned into Lin Jinrong's ear and whispered: "The second wife and the old lady apologize."
Lu Yan saw all the movements of the master and servants, and said: "It seems that while Tao Tao is playing, he is also doing errands."
Hearing this, Cherry blinked and smiled sweetly: "Second Master, you are right, this slave is here just to wait for you and grandma. There are serious things to do, how can I dare to be lazy?" She has long hands.
She has long legs, a slender frame, and round and bright eyes. She looks extremely cute and innocent.
Lu Yan couldn't find the words to answer her for a moment, so he nodded and said seriously: "You did a good job, your grandma will reward you. What do you want?"
It was rare for him to praise the person below him. Cherry's eyes lit up, and in a blink of an eye he said: "I don't want rewards, as long as grandma is happy."
"Go and tell Lizhi that we are back. Let's go to Rongjingju first and ask her not to wait for us to have dinner." Lin Jinrong couldn't help but feel a little happy. After working hard for more than five years, he finally had this group of people.
Effectiveness.
Cherry responded and hurried away. As Lin Jinrong walked, she whispered to Lu Yan: "Second aunt and grandma apologize."
Lu Yan pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Then it will only happen in the next day or two." Mrs. Song could never imagine what kind of consequences her plea would have. Otherwise, she would not plead easily.
, but will try their best to put all the blame on the people below, but where can there be regret medicine in this world?
When the two arrived at Rongjingju, they discovered that in addition to Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao who were still recruiting tenants in nearby prefectures and counties and had never returned home, Master Lu San, Lu Jing, Lu Lun, and Lu Gen were also sitting there. Mr. Lu and
Mrs. Lu sat side by side on the couch. Their expressions were both calm and kind, and there was nothing special about them.
On the other hand, the people below each have their own highlights. Lin Yuzhen always has a bad face, Lu Yun has an expressionless face, Song has a look of self-blame, Lu has to endure the humiliation, Tu has uneasiness, Mr. Lu San is restless, and Lu Jing's
His eyes were moving around flexibly. Lu Lun was bored, Lu Xian was in a daze, Yuan Lang and Hao Lang were lying aside eating fruit. As soon as they heard their footsteps, everyone became a little more energetic, and they all
He raised his head and looked at the two of them.
Lin Yuzhen was furious. It was such a big deal, and it took so long for the two of them to leave. It was so ignorant. Just when she was about to reprimand, she heard Mrs. Lu say calmly: "You're back?"
Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello. Lin Yuzhen saw the opportunity and was about to speak again. Mrs. Lu asked again: "Is everything going well at the tea shop?"
Lin Jinrong smiled and replied: "Very good. Min Xing gave me several ideas."
Mr. Lu stroked his beard with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's what it's all about. Let's put some food on the table."
Setting the table for dinner? We haven’t concluded what we mentioned before, so why do we suddenly have to eat? This is not the old lady’s style. People in the room were very puzzled, but no one dared to raise any objections. The women acted quickly
After getting up, after a while, two tables were set up inside and outside, and men and women sat down to eat as usual.
Both Lin Jinrong and Mrs. Lu were very careful in serving them. Old Mrs. Lu did not ask them to sit down as lovingly as before. She just kept quiet and focused on eating. She did not speak, and others did not dare to speak. Mrs. Tu
After mentioning the topic several times, Old Mrs. Lu glanced at her and shut up in fear.
After a while, Lin Jinrong and Mrs. Lu cleaned up with the girls, and sat on the small table outside to eat. Mrs. Lu looked at Lin Jinrong several times and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it. Lin Jinrong just pretended not to know.
Keep your head down and eat your own food.
As soon as the bowls were placed, Mrs. Lu said, "Now that you've finished eating, come in and talk." The timing was perfect.
The flesh on Mrs. Lu's face twitched uncontrollably, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up and walked inside. Lin Jinrong followed her closely, slowly entering to see how her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were being treated.
