"My servant was about to talk to you about this matter. Just now, Grandma Fang came over and said that my wife asked her to remind you so that you should never forget this matter." Young Master Li Zhi had an idea with Lin Jinrong: "I have prepared good wine today.
Good food, grandma might as well invite the eldest girl to come over for a party. If she wants to come, just let her know; if she doesn’t want to come, she can also make a deal in front of my wife."
Lin Jinrong then calmed down and said, "That's right, you go and invite me personally." According to her guess, Lu Yun was arrogant and would not show weakness for such a thing. Even if he didn't want to come anymore, he would pretend to be fine.
As if she wanted to come to eat this meal. As for her, she didn't need any persuasion, she just took Lin Yuzhen's words to her.
Li Zhi took the order and went to invite Lu Yun without mentioning it. Shao Qing came back happily and said: "Grandma, the eldest lady said she would come after changing her clothes."
Lin Jinrong then ordered Guiyuan and others to set up a table, warm up the wine, and wait for Lu Yun to come. Not long after, Lu Yun came in with a puff of cold air. His face had long lost the depressed look at the beginning, and he looked radiant.
of.
Lin Jinrong took a look and saw that she was wearing an 80% new brocade cotton coat with a begonia red plum pattern, trimmed with silver fox fur, an ivory skirt tied underneath, and a hairpin in her hair. Mrs. Lu praised her for everything.
She wore a hairpin and a layer of light pink lipstick on her lips. Her face was delicate and fresh, and it was obvious that she had been dressed up carefully. She knew that her previous guess was correct, so she went up to him with a smile, led her to sit down on the couch, and smiled.
He said: "We are always busy on weekdays. I have long wanted to invite my sister over for a chat, but I never got the chance."
The two of them usually only have a face-to-face relationship, and it is a rare opportunity for them to be so close. Lu Yun knew why Lin Jinrong was looking for her, but he pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my sister-in-law, I will come back another day."
Please sister-in-law. Where is my brother? I heard he is back, why can’t I see him?"
Lin Jinrong smiled and poured her a glass of wine: "I was invited by the magistrate to have a talk about plowing and plowing horses."
"That's a good thing." Lu Yun raised his glass to touch her, and rushed to say: "First glass, I wish my brother that all his wishes will come true and his ambition will be rewarded." After the aunt and sister drank, Lin Jinrong was about to pour wine with Lu Yun, Lu Yun
Then he picked up the pot and poured wine with her. He smiled sweetly and said, "For the second cup, I wish my sister-in-law to give birth to a chubby and cute little nephew soon."
Lin Jinrong smiled and drank the wine. Lu Yun took a handful of plump mutton and said with concern: "Mother didn't make things difficult for you, right? I just heard about my sister-in-law's incident and tried to persuade her, but she couldn't listen. Then
I wanted to stay there, but as a girl, I really can't say much about this kind of thing."
Lychee was preparing to serve the dishes. Hearing this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Is this big girl here on purpose to cause trouble for Lin Jinrong? She knew that everyone was staring at Lin Jinrong's belly and kindly invited her over to eat and enlighten her, but she didn't deviate from this in every sentence.
Topic, are you reminding Lin Jinrong that you haven’t taken care of your own affairs yet, so don’t mind your own business? So when I saw Lu Yun’s deliberately pretending to be caring and considerate, I felt that it was particularly unpleasant, and I felt that the table full of good wine was good
The vegetables are all wasted. If you are feeding the dog, remember to wag your tail as a sign of goodwill.
Lin Jinrong smiled as usual: "My mother-in-law is always sharp-tongued and soft-hearted. I know it even if you don't tell me. I was worried that she would make you sad." With one sentence, she turned the finger to Lu Yun's marriage. Originally, she didn't want to
She must mention this matter, but since Lu Yun wants to stab her, of course she has to say everything she needs to say to avoid suffering this stabbing in vain.
Lu Yun couldn't swallow the piece of mutton in his mouth. He put the chopsticks in his hand on the table and his face turned cold.
Lin Jinrong seemed not to have seen her expression, so he filled her glass of wine, then filled it for himself, and drank by himself, saying: "My aunt asked me to persuade you, but I thought, you have your own ideas."
People always understand truth and filial piety best, so why do you need me to persuade you?"
Lu Yun stared at the glass of wine in front of him for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Jinrong, and said in a sharp tone: "Sister-in-law, was it just for filial piety that you did back then?"
Li Zhi's expression changed. In the past, everyone had consciously concealed the matter of Lin Jinrong's resistance to marriage, fearing that speaking out would hurt the relationship between Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian. Lu Yun's words were simply provocative. Jian'er worriedly said
Lu Yun quietly tugged on Lu Yun's sleeve, as if he hadn't heard anything, and stared at Lin Jinrong, waiting for her answer.
Lin Jinrong filled another glass for himself and said calmly: "It's okay not to mention the past. But you have to listen to the elders after all. My mother-in-law loves you after all. Don't you think I'm living a good life now?"
"How can that man be as good as my second brother?" Lu Yun gritted his teeth and stood up, opening his mouth to say something else. He probably felt that it would affect his usual dignified and gentle image, so he stopped talking again and said calmly.
: "I'm full. Sister-in-law, take it easy." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Jian'er stayed behind, blushed and saluted Lin Jinrong, and whispered: "Second Grandma, don't argue with our girl, in her heart..."
"Jian'er?" Lu Yun shouted loudly from outside.
"Here we come." Like a frightened bird, Jian'er quickly saluted Lin Jinrong again and hurried out.
Lin Jinrong told Guiyuan calmly: "You light a lantern and send the girl back."
Guiyuan responded hurriedly, quickly lit up a lantern and chased after him.
Li Zhi was dissatisfied: "The eldest girl is becoming more and more bitter. She seems to be the most considerate, but in fact she is really so? She is just looking out for herself. It is best for her to persuade her, otherwise who will ask for help?"
This is too..."
"Let's not talk about her." Lin Jinrong smiled and pointed to the seat opposite: "Get the tableware again and eat with me. After eating, I have to go to my wife's place again." There is always a gesture.
That's enough, there's no need to say that she, a sister-in-law, doesn't care about her sister-in-law.
As expected, Lychee got herself a set of bowls and chopsticks and sat down sideways. Lin Jinrong poured a glass of wine with her and raised a toast to her: "You have worked hard over the years. I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart."
Lychee smiled sheepishly and stood up respectfully: "This is the duty of a slave."
Lin Jinrong motioned for her to sit down: "There will be a bumper harvest in the village this year, and the business of the teahouses and shops is also very good. I told the third master today to ask him to help you make a silver noodle set. You want to have something inlaid on it. You like pearls.
Or a gem?”
Lychee was frightened: "Grandma, do you want...?" It's like preparing a dowry for her, but you want to send her out?
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "What do I want?"
Lychee's eyes were slightly red: "I don't want to leave you."
When she asked Li Zhi, Li Zhi also answered the same. But at that time, she was in a difficult situation. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't find a satisfactory match for Li Zhi. She was somewhat inseparable from Li Zhi and relied on Li Zhi. But today, she can give Li Zhi a satisfactory answer.
Even better, she would never let Lychee die bloody and alone by the river like in her previous life. Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment and whispered: "I will be eighteen after the New Year, and you will be twenty, no matter how old you are,
It’s too small.”
Lychee lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then wiped the corners of her eyes: "Grandma, does she need help from outside? You are the master, and the slave is a slave. You can make arrangements, and all the slaves will listen to you."
Li Zhi always abided by his duty and deliberately said such words to provoke her. He really had never thought about getting married. Li Zhi was still the same Li Zhi. Although he had become more capable and shrewd, his heart had never changed. Lin Jinrong was relieved and could not bear to blame.
She said warmly: "You know that's not the case, I just want you to be well. I always hope to do my best to treat people who treat me well sincerely."
Lychee's eyes were red and she said stubbornly: "Since grandma wants you to be good to me, then I will tell you, and I want to protect you. I don't like what you do to destroy a man, and I have never thought about it."
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but laugh: "You're talking silly, you really want to stay with me for the rest of your life, how can I bear to see you wasting your time and being lonely in old age in the future? Don't worry about it, I will make sure that you live a stable and steady life for the rest of your life.
Come, eat the vegetables, they are all cold." He said with a bit of playfulness: "Your second master has good beads in his shop, so I will put them on for you. It will save me some money."
Lychee forced a smile and plucked her chopsticks a few times, but she couldn't eat anymore. Lin Jinrong gave her a few pieces of good mutton: "But it's not delicious? Look at the cherries and beans outside. I'm so greedy that I'm salivating."
Lychee forced a smile, but still moved her chopsticks. Lin Jinrong had no choice but to say: "That's it, everyone, move out, heat up the dishes, and you can eat. And cook me a bowl of noodles."
Lychee was busy. Shaoqing and Guiyuan opened the curtain and came in, carefully stepped forward and handed a purse to Lin Jinrong, and whispered: "Grandma, the big girl rewarded me. There is a hundred coins in it."
Lin Jinrong glanced at it and said, "Since it's your reward, it's yours."
Guiyuan accepted the words and said: "The eldest lady asked again if Fangzhu is still waiting in front of you as before. The servant replied, we are the ones who usually wait in front of you, and Fangzhu often goes to the outer courtyard."
The eldest girl was quiet for a while, and then asked the slave girl and Li Zhi how old they were, and whether we were going to have a little girl in our courtyard. The slave girl said that she had never heard grandma mention it."
"You did a good job. If someone asks you next time, just say, I plan to choose two little girls to come in and serve you." Lin Jinrong smiled kindly, "They are eating delicious food, you go quickly, they are late.
It’s gone.”
Guiyuan received her smile and compliments, and happily bowed and left.
Lin Jinrong sat for a while, thinking that the girls had finished eating, and then asked someone to follow her to see Lin Yuzhen. Lin Yuzhen was not asleep yet, leaning beside the smoke cage in a daze. Seeing her come in, she hurriedly sat up and said full of hope:
"how?"
Lin Jinrong sighed softly: "I just said a few words, then I threw away my chopsticks and left. I was afraid that my mother-in-law would be worried, so I came over to talk to you first."
Lin Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, then beat her chest hard twice, tears streaming down her face: "What evil have I done! I have such an enemy!"
Lin Jinrong advised: "Maybe she will figure it out after today."
Lin Yuzhen shed tears for a while, stood up suddenly, and repeatedly ordered people to dress her: "When I go to tell her, she has to go whether she goes or not. Do you really want your grandfather and father-in-law to do anything?"
She is happy when she is angry and loses all dignity?"
