Lu Yan refused so clearly, but Lu Ji looked unconcerned and smiled brightly as usual: "Let's not talk about this for now. Second brother will go and eat this meal first." For fear that he would refuse, he just smiled.
He provoked him with words: "If Brother Wu doesn't go today, I will let everyone see my joke." He also invited Wu Xiang: "Brother Wu, please tell me, will you go?"
Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If it's the best banquet, and I ask Jinnu'er to persuade me to drink, I'll go." The best banquet costs several times more than ordinary banquets, and this Jinnuer is even more expensive than Pingzhou.
It was not easy to hire the most famous prostitute in the city. Since Lu Ji wanted to spend money so much, he would not save it for Lu Ji.
Lu Ji smiled awkwardly: "Jin Nuer is not that easy to treat." But he knew in his heart that these two people would probably not go to eat this meal. He didn't want them to not go to eat, which happened to save him a lot of money.
It only made him a little more annoyed, feeling that these two people looked down on him, especially Wu Xiang, and they were clearly deliberately making things difficult for him and looking down on him.
But it was said that Lin Jinrong and her daughter turned away from everyone and hid in the car whispering. Mrs. Tao lovingly trimmed Lin Jinrong's hair: "Ah Rong, I see you have lost weight. But are you too tired?" Lin Yuzhen alone has already lost weight.
It's hard to deal with, let alone a tearful Tu Shi, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Lin Jinrong stroked her cheek and said with a smile: "Actually, I have grown up, but my mother thinks I have lost weight."
Mrs. Tao frowned and said, "I heard that your family is not peaceful recently."
Lin Jinrong couldn't bear to worry about her, so he smiled and said: "The old man values me very much, and the old lady treats me well. It's just because the housekeeper has just started, so there must be more things to do. I'll worry more now, and I'll have less in the future."
Don't worry, I can cope with it so far. I'm worried about you instead."
When Mrs. Tao thought about it, she told her: "I am living a good life. Your seventh brother is motivated and obedient. He always has his son as a companion. Your sister-in-law is not too busy. Now I read the scriptures in my free time and also search for books.
Your eldest aunt is gossiping and is more open-minded than before. As long as you and your brother and sister get along for a few days, I have nothing to worry about. Don't worry about us." His eyes couldn't help but glance at Lin Jinrong's belly again: "Still no movement?
"
Lin Jinrong said: "Why are you so anxious? Is this the result of being anxious?"
Mrs. Tao agreed: "It's better to be in a hurry. But you have to pay attention to your health. Women, nothing can be more practical than having a son. Otherwise, no matter how thick the dowry is, you may not be able to keep it. Even if your mother's family protects you, there are still many details."
You can't protect her at all. Don't look at your aunt's glory, but she is actually suffering." Now that her life was getting better, she began to sympathize with Lin Yuzhen.
"I know. I understand everything." Lin Jinrong lowered his head and straightened the embroidery bag at his waist for Mrs. Tao, diverting her attention: "How is seventh brother's homework recently?"
Tao smiled and said sweetly: "So it is said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. He was led by Lu Yan and studied very hard. But Mr. Zhu asked his eldest follower to come back and tell your grandfather,
Let me advise you not to damage your eyes at such a young age. It’s not worth it. I talked to him for a long time before he agreed not to stay up late. But every time your grandfather takes a test, he never fails.
If he comes out, your grandfather can pamper him now. As long as he is at home and important guests come to the house, he should be kept by his side to learn more."
Lin Jinrong thought of Lu Yan's enthusiasm for reading day and night once he started reading, and couldn't help but worry: "I have to tell Lu Yan. He is an adult, but the seventh brother is still growing, so we can't compare with him."
However, Mrs. Tao heard something from it, frowned and looked at her for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Are you worried about your seventh brother, aren't you afraid that Lu Yan will get sick? He is the person you have to rely on for the rest of your life."
Lin Jinrong smiled: "What are you talking about? Did I say I'm not worried about him? It's just that he is an adult. It's okay to stay up late. He can't compare to a child."
Mrs. Tao held her hand and said sincerely: "Daughter, you have to accept your fate. We women can't control our own fate, not to mention that Erlang is a good person. Don't blame him for treating that crybaby well. It's not easy. He has
That’s what conscience does.”
Lin Jinrong's eyes lit up: "Mom is really more open-minded than before. If it were in the past, you would have started scolding immediately, and after you finished scolding, my aunt would continue to scold the third aunt." There is no better mother than a daughter, Lin Jinrong knew that Mrs. Tao must be scolding in her heart.
Lin Yuzhen and Mr. Tu said this just to comfort her heart, but Mrs. Tao in the past would definitely not be able to do this, which shows that her heart is much wider than before.
Mrs. Tao went to pinch her face: "You girl, you asked me to talk about you and bury your own mother like this. No matter what, I do it for your own good."
Lin Jinrong lay in her arms coquettishly and smiled softly: "I know. Mom loves me, and I love mom too."
Mrs. Tao sighed softly, stroked her cheek, and whispered: "My dear girl is so painful."
Aunt Gong stood outside the carriage and said, "Madam, the elder said he was going back." Then Lin Shenzhi climbed into the carriage and said, "Fourth sister, my brother-in-law asked you to go back."
Mrs. Tao had no choice but to say goodbye to Lin Jinrong reluctantly: "Arong, you must take care of yourself. If you have a baby sooner, it will be easier for you to return to your parents' home."
It was true that she had nothing to do with having children. Lin Jinrong was amused by her and laughed: "Take care of yourself, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, don't worry about such idleness." She gave Lin Shenzhi a few words before leaving. He was ready to leave.
When he got to his carriage, he lifted the curtain and saw Lu Yun leaning on the carriage, looking out the window with a heavy gaze. He didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't even know she was here.
Lin Jinrong gently knocked on the wall of the carriage: "Ayun, you said you were leaving, but have you seen your brother come back?"
Lu Yun just woke up: "Ah, sister-in-law, I didn't see it."
Lin Jinrong frowned and said, "He asked me to come back because he was leaving. Why can't he be seen?"
Mrs. Lu helped the girl over and complained: "Second uncle hasn't come back either? A group of men said they were going to Wuzhanglou to eat and drink, so they left us and asked us to go back alone. They also asked some kind of golden slave to accompany us.
Drinking, really, I'm not afraid of spoiling the children." Seeing Lin Jinrong smiling but not answering, Lu Yun said nothing and could only sigh: "That's it, the three of us can go home alone."
But Lu Yan walked over quickly: "I'll take you back."
Lu's sharp eyes saw the water-stained mud on his robe at a glance, and couldn't help but smile: "What's going on? Second uncle seems to have rolled out of the mud. Where is this boy Changshou?
How can I take care of you, master? You really deserve a beating."
Lu Jian hurriedly said: "Shou Changshou didn't come with me today, so I asked him to go and work on the plows and rice fields. I just sat by the embankment and soiled my clothes."
Lu smiled and said, "Did I fall down and my second uncle is embarrassed to say it?"
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, without explaining. Lu Yun hurriedly gave up his seat, took his own handkerchief and spread it on the seat: "Brother, come up and sit down. How can you ride a horse with this dirty body? Mo Mo.
You want to make people laugh."
Lu Yan said: "No problem, why bother dirtying the car." He also saluted Mrs. Lu: "Sister-in-law, please get in the car."
Mrs. Lu stopped talking and helped the girl get into her carriage. Lin Jinrong then asked Lu Yan: "What's going on?"
Lu Yan said, "We'll talk about it after we get back."
Lin Jinrong saw that he didn't look very good, so he stopped asking and got on the carriage. As soon as he sat down, he heard Lu Shao chasing after him, laughing loudly: "Second brother, why are you leaving? You can't really
Are you angry with your third brother and Lu Ji? I have scolded them both severely. Let's go, let's go and have some fun together."
Lu Yan said: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I'm in a bad mood. I'm going to cause trouble to everyone. Please be considerate of me."
Lu Shao originally thought that he would not say it clearly, but now that he heard him so clearly stating that he was in a bad mood, he laughed dryly: "In that case, I won't force it. If there is anything wrong with it, please give me more, my second brother."
Don’t worry about it.”
Lu Yan responded: "Brother, don't worry."
Lin Jinrong and Lu Yun looked at each other, and they both knew something had happened.
The carriage entered the Lu Mansion. Lu Yun got out of the car and asked Lu Yan first: "Brother, what's going on?"
Lu Yan smiled faintly: "I'll change my clothes first. Could you please sister, please go talk to the elders for me, and I'll go and say hello later." Then he looked at Lin Jinrong: "Arong, you and I should go back to the room first."
Lu Yun stood still and smiled very faintly.
Lin Jinrong put a duck egg green robe on Lu Yan, and while tying his belt, he asked: "Did you fall? Where did you fall?"
Lu Yan said: "No, Wu Xiang did it for fun."
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but sigh: "They say Lu Lun doesn't grow up, but he looks just like Lu Lun."
Lu Yan glanced at her, lowered his head to tie his belt, and said slowly: "My third brother told me just now that I must let Lu Ji take care of Zhuangzi for you."
Lin Jinrong stopped and looked up at him: "Then?"
Lu Yan looked at her and saw the vigilance and nervousness on her face. He couldn't help but sigh softly: "I refused, and there were some disputes and unhappiness." Then he briefly told the story.
Lin Jinrong put the tips and jade pendants on him one by one: "In that case, why doesn't he let Lu Ji take care of the village for his second aunt and sister-in-law?" She had a very complicated feeling towards Lu Ji, which she couldn't explain, she thought.
Probably because Lu Ji was the one who dashed all her hopes, and she shouldn't be like this. However, she still didn't like seeing Lu Ji, very much. As for Lu Jing, she endured it and whispered: "Three
My brother is not a good person to begin with, but you can see that he is always smiling."
Lu Yan's eyes lit up and he smiled a little: "How did you know?"
Lin Jinrong said perfunctorily: "It feels like it. Look at how he treats his fifth brother and his biological brothers. At such an old age, he always has trouble with the fifth brother. The fifth brother is such a kind, generous and considerate person. He has such a close relationship with him.
If my brother can't get through, what kind of good person can he be and how cruel he is?"
Although this reason was far-fetched, Lu Yan was very happy to hear it: "That's all, we won't talk about them. Just remember, don't just accept the people recommended to you by Second Aunt and the others."
He wouldn't accept it without reminding her, so Lin Jinrong said: "I understand."

It’s a little late to revise the article. It’s the penultimate day of March. I have nothing to say. I continue to ask for Pink’s support!!! If there is a third update today, will there be more Pink? I’m looking at you eagerly.
(I was sleep-deprived and dizzy. I typed the rankings and names of Lu Jing wrongly in several places in the first few chapters. I didn’t find it out when I checked. After being reminded by a book friend, I have corrected it.) (To be continued. If you like this work,
You are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (To be continued)
