Recently, Lin Jinrong had one more thing that she had to do every day. She vacated the open space under the east wall, and after asking Mr. Lu for advice, she planted a garden of chrysanthemums there. Although she was not as dexterous as Mr. Lu.
Jiehualou has also planted several varieties. Now they are planted in the open ground, and they are just waiting for autumn to bloom and then put them in pots to watch. So she has one more thing to do every day, patrolling the flower beds and taking care of them.
These chrysanthemums.
Lu Yan was not very interested in her garden of flowers, but when he was worried, he was willing to go to the flower garden to dig around like her. Both masters loved it here, so the flower garden turned out to be like this.
One of the most important places in the yard after the bedroom and study room.
At this moment, Lin Jinrong still habitually spends the time after dinner by the flower garden. This is her favorite time of the day - the weather is neither cold nor hot, the light is neither strong nor weak, and she looks at the flower seedlings in the flower garden day by day.
If it grows vigorously and the new buds grow into leaves, she will be in a good mood. Even the evening breeze blowing on her face and body will feel like an extremely rare enjoyment.
When the fat Mrs. Meng walked to the door, she happened to see her bending down to pick off a withered leaf. Mrs. Meng exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Oh, grandma, how can you do such a thing yourself?"
What? Just let the old slave come." Before he finished speaking, his fat and round body quickly moved to Lin Jin.
In front of Rong Rong, with a smile, he took the leaf in Lin Jinrong's hand, and then tried his best to open his eyes, which were covered by fat with only a slit left, and wandered around, hoping to find a weed or a piece of grass in the flower bed.
Extra pebbles. Unfortunately, the flower garden is too small and people are staring at it every day. It is really difficult for her to express herself.
Lu Yan was studying in the study room and was also startled by the roar. He frowned and looked out of the window. When he saw it was Mrs. Meng, he sat back down.
Lin Jinrong was stunned by Mrs. Meng, and then she realized what she was doing and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing, Mrs. Meng?"
"Grandma is such an elegant person." Mrs. Meng has always been a tactful person. When she saw that the flower garden was too clean, she gave up this activity to please her. She took the bamboo basket from the little girl's hand with a smile and handed it to Lin Jinrong with both hands: "Grandma,
This is the old slave's house
The leaves are grown in the garden and were picked by the old slave's daughter-in-law and granddaughter in the afternoon. Each one is carefully selected. You see, the leaves are still fresh, sweet and like honey.
Xiaojing gives Second Master and Grandma a taste."
Lin Jinrong smiled and invited her to sit on the stone bench in the yard, and asked Dou'er to bring tea: "It's hard for grandma to be so idle. How much can be produced in the yard? Just keep it for yourself.
.”
"There are a lot of them. I have planted more than ten cherry trees. They have grown well this year and have big and abundant fruits. I am grateful to my masters for their kindness, so I sent a basket to each place to try them. The old slave got them from the eldest lady. Grandma does not need to
Let’s part ways again.” Mrs. Meng said goodbye twice before sitting on the stone bench.
He sat down, took the tea brought by Dou'er, and praised it again: "They say grandma has a hand in good tea, well, even the sisters in grandma's room are so capable. Just cook it.
This tea is so delicious, I have never tasted such delicious tea soup."
Cherry touched Dou'er lightly and joked: "Sister Dou'er, when did you learn the craft from grandma? You can teach me too." Dou'er pinched her and said with a smile: "Mommy, that's great.
, I’m going to be embarrassed.”
Mrs. Meng said nonsensically: "It's really like this." She looked around with her eyes and praised: "Grandma's yard is really exquisite and tidy. I wonder where Grandma's heart came from? Isn't that what they said, Jinxinxiu
Oh, is this what grandma is like? Look, even a yard is kept so neat and tidy. You don’t know how exquisite it is inside? When we first sent the dowry, it was so lively that it blinded our eyes."
This time even Lychee couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, it's not the cherries that grandma gave me that are sweet, it's my mouth that's sweet."
Aunt Gui, who was diligently cooking the soup, also heard the news and came out to watch the excitement. She joked: "Did Sister Meng steal the sweet soup I was cooking?"
Suddenly, Mrs. Meng slapped her cheek hard, making a loud sound: "Mosquitoes! Why are there mosquitoes so early?"
Guiyuan said: "That's because mosquitoes smell the smell of grandma's meat and want to eat it."
Mrs. Meng laughed: "That's right, my flesh is white and fat, and I attract mosquitoes the most in summer, which is comparable to mosquito repellent..."
There was a moderate noise in the study, like the sound of a paperweight being thrown on the table. Mrs. Meng stopped hastily and sneered in a low voice: "I talk too much, and I disturb the second master."
Lin Jinrong had been watching her performance with a smile. At this time, Fang said: "There are a lot of mosquitoes outside. Grandma, please sit inside. I will have someone put some cakes for you."
Mrs. Meng followed her into the house, slanted her body and sat on the table. After praising the decorations, she stood up and left.
Several girls were confused. Dou'er said: "What did you think she was going to do? Why did she leave like this?"
Lin Jinrong pointed to the bamboo basket: "Go and clean it. Send a plate to the second master. I will eat another plate and give another bowl to Fangcao. Leave one plate and you will share the rest. We will not eat it overnight.
OK."
It was the time when the girls tasted delicious food. The cherries were precious and seasonal. The early cherries were so popular that they couldn't help but rejoice. Even Aunt Gui laughed: "Grandma is so generous."
So the group of people split up. Only Li Zhi stayed in the room and asked Lin Jinrong in a low voice to discuss: "Grandma, what is she going to do?"
Lin Jinrong said: "I haven't had time to tell you what happened in the morning. The order she gave this time was really particular. The first one was the old man and the old lady, and then it was the third wife. The third wife left her sitting for a long time, and then she
Several people under her took the opportunity to go to the third wife's room."
Lychee thought for a while and couldn't understand: "Grandma, what is she?"
Lin Jinrong said: "I guess something is going to happen over there, and it won't be a good thing anyway. You asked Yingtao to take the extra plate of cherries and go out for a walk to see who has to eat cherries today? It's such a troubled time right now, you guys
You have to be careful." She was deeply impressed by Mrs. Meng. She was a person who followed the second room with all her heart. Even if she had that mouth and was good at talking, she would not be deceived.
Lychee responded cautiously, called the cherries in, arranged them as instructed, brought up the washed cherries, and motioned to Lin Jinrong to deliver them to Lu Yan: "Second Master doesn't like us to disturb him when he is studying, so grandma should deliver them."
stop?"
Lin Jinrong cleaned her hands and went to the next door with the fruit plate. When she opened the door, Lu Jinrong said without raising her head, "Is someone gone?" He actually knew it was her.
"Let's go." Lin Jinrong put the fruit plate on the tea table nearby, went to the basin and twisted a handkerchief to wipe his hands: "Since we are all noisy, let's eat first and then look at it."
Lu Yan took the handkerchief and said, "What's she doing here? She's making a lot of noise like a crow!"
Lin Jinrong said with a smile: "Am I bothering you? I guess I'm afraid more people will come here in the future. Otherwise, you will still go to Tingxue Pavilion to study at night?"
Lu Yan glanced at her noncommittally, handed her the handkerchief, took a cherry and put it into his mouth, and asked again: "What is she here for?"
Lin Jinrong had no choice but to tell him what he had said to Lizhi before: "I don't know what she wants to do. I just asked Yingtao to go out and find out the news."
Lu Yan frowned and pushed the fruit plate in front of her: "Don't just talk. It tastes good."
The two persuaded each other, and when they finished eating a plate of cherries and the cherries came back, Lin Jinrong stood up and said, "I'll go and listen to what she has to say."
Lu Yan said: "Let her come over and say it."
Lin Jinrong didn't expect that he would be interested in such trivial matters, so he said: "Wouldn't it affect your reading? You have been busy supervising the construction of the tread plow these days. I am afraid you have lost a lot of homework?"
Lu Yan said: "I know it well."
Cherry came in and said: "Today evening, I brought in four baskets of cherries, two baskets in the second wife's room, one basket in the eldest wife's room, and one basket in our room. I left a cup of tea in the second wife's room. I don't know what to say.
I got something, but I didn’t see him coming out with a reward. I kowtowed to the eldest lady and got a box of candies.”
It seemed that no one was left behind, and they were very considerate, but among the three-bedroom people, Tu was the first to get the cherry, and after that, most of Mrs. Meng’s people went to Tu’s place. In addition, this
There have been vague rumors in the world for a few days, and Lin Jinrong has roughly one
Outline - If Mrs. Tu previously only hoped to get the job of managing the warehouse, after Mrs. Meng's actions and hints, Mrs. Tu must definitely believe that this job is hers. If something unexpected happens, then
This is an unforgivable conspiracy.
So tonight Mrs. Meng runs around again. On the surface, it seems to be to balance the situation, so that no one will be offended; secretly, it seems to be to please her and Lin Yuzhen and prepare for future personnel changes; but in fact, it will be in the Tu family.
After his hope was shattered, Tu was stimulated to the greatest extent, making the angry Tu hate himself.
At the same time, it also plays a role in covering up Mrs. Meng's actions. Isn't it just a gift of cherries? Everyone has been given away. If your third wife misunderstands, who is to blame? As for the next few people, it turns out that they are not in the Song family and Mrs. Meng.
In their hearts, what they want is the knot and hatred between her and Tu that can never be resolved.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but sigh softly, because her reaction was different. There were many little things that were different from her previous life, and she could no longer verify many things in her previous life, but at this moment she could clearly see through this.
She didn't know what role the second wife played in her previous life, and to what extent they had achieved it, but judging from everything they had done so far, it was deliberate.
She looked back at Lu Yan. He knew the beginning and end of this matter. What was he thinking at this moment? Did you see clearly?
