The autumn cold is getting heavier, and there was an autumn rain that night.
Rain pattered on the window lattice, causing a chill. Lin Jinrong woke up with a start. She was startled when she looked at the dim celadon oil lamp in the corner of the room. She did not have nightmares. After seeing Lu Yan, she never had nightmares again.
I had a nightmare. Is this a good thing?
Just as she was dazed, she suddenly heard a soft "squeak" from the door. Lin Jinrong quickly closed her eyes and saw through the gap between her eyelashes. Aunt Gui was holding a quilt, covering it for her gently, and walked over again.
He checked at the oil lamp to see if there was still lamp oil. When he saw that everything was in order, he quietly backed out and closed the door.
Lin Jinrong tightened the quilt. Aunt Gui was a conscientious wet nurse. She always got up once or twice every night to look at her and the longan. If you add a quilt to yourself now, you must also add a quilt to the longan. Only
It's a pity that Grandma Gui has longan; and longan is lucky to have Grandma Gui.
Lin Jinrong reached out and touched the two keys in the pillow box, and smiled softly. Guiyuan's hesitant expression and entanglement these days were all in her eyes, but Guiyuan would never want to take these keys back again.
.Just like some things are hers, if she doesn’t want to give them, no one can take them away. If she wants them, she doesn’t want them.
She thought of that incident again - she remembered that there were many places that were far away from the capital and had difficulty in physical transportation, so many taxes were levied or converted into silver. This year Pingzhou had a bumper harvest, next year Pingzhou will still have a bumper harvest, and next year
It was a turning point for Pingzhou and Qingzhou. The money they paid for tribute was changed to buying silver to pay tribute. Many tax households had no silver, so they went to the bank to exchange it. She didn't know the specific amount. She only remembered that year.
People in Pingzhou and Qingzhou made a lot of money from this. After that, some people often went to Beijing to buy silver and make profits when taxes were collected.
So she really wanted to open a silver shop, but this wish may not be easily realized, but at least she can make some money from it, right? But when it comes to capital, the only one she can make plans for is the Tao family. The Tao family is rich, and the Tao family can't afford a dowry.
There is a lot of gold and silver among them. If we can get the support of the Tao family and then unite with the Tao family and let the Tao family come forward to do this, it will be difficult not to make money!
But she is a boudoir girl who has rarely been out to see the world. If she suddenly says this, people will definitely find it funny and disbelief at first. Then when the incident actually happens, it will make people think it is strange, causing suspicion from all parties and causing a lot of confusion.
Trouble. How can we achieve this goal safely and smoothly? Lin Jinrong has thought about this problem for several days, and still has no clue. He also thought that tomorrow the Tao family and his son will return to Qingzhou, but he is banned here.
In this big world, you can't go out. Opportunities are fleeting and you can't help but toss and turn.
At dawn, the rain still hadn't stopped, and the room was much darker than usual. As usual, Li Zhi brought hot water for the washroom and prepared to help Lin Jinrong get up. However, he saw Lin Jinrong sitting by the window, dressed neatly, with a window open in front of him.
Through the slit window, I stared at the misty rain and fog outside in a daze.
"Why did the girl get up so early? Didn't you call anyone?" Lychee put the copper pot and ran to Lin Jinrong worriedly. He turned his head to look at her face, but was startled by Lin Jinrong's two light blue eye circles.
, couldn't help but blurt out: "But I had nightmares again at night?!"
Lin Jinrong shook his head gently and said worriedly: "My aunt and cousin are leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when we will see each other again. I want to see them off, but I am afraid of embarrassing my mother."
Lychee muttered: "It's not convenient for Third Madam to plead for you now."
As Mrs. Lin's series of attacks went down, the second master was reprimanded, the third master was beaten, Lin Yizhi, the twins, and Lin Jinrong were punished, Lin Shenzhi was taken to Tingtao Residence to be educated, and Mr. Tao contradicted the old lady that day.
The matter was also brought forward by people who were interested. It was only because Wu refused to leave that the matter was temporarily suppressed.
But this debt must always be settled. Therefore, what the third house wants now is to keep a low profile. After Lin Jinrong was punished, he should hide in his room, copy and write, and reflect on being a female celebrity, even if he went out to meet his aunt and cousin who were about to leave.
It was appropriate to have a farewell meal. How could the third wife or Lin Jinyin dare to plead for her!
Lin Jinrong put her thin white hands into the brass basin and stirred the water unconsciously. She sighed softly: "Take out one of my pair of ancient pottery xuns, find a beautiful box to put it in, and take it to the fifth girl."
There. Just say that my aunt came here this time and gave me some top-quality dragon and phoenix tea. I couldn't bear to enjoy it alone, so I asked her to share it with me."
It’s just tea, it has to be drunk after all, but the meaning of the ancient pottery xun is different. Lizhi felt heartbroken: "Girl, those pair of ancient pottery xuns are your treasures, and they are the ones that my uncle tried every means to find for you on your twelfth birthday.
As a congratulatory gift, I just gave one to the fifth girl. She doesn’t really like it, so isn’t it a waste of a good thing..."
The girls all have some elegant hobbies, such as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, growing flowers and grass, mixing incense and drinking tea, etc. Lin Jinrong only likes to share tea, but she just likes to play the xun that sounds so whimpering. And the fifth girl
I didn't like it at first, but later I saw the pair of ancient xuns given to Lin Jinrong by Uncle Tao. After hearing about their simplicity and elegance, she tried every possible means to get those ancient xuns away from Lin Jinrong. But she didn't.
I really love her, but I can't play the xun, so Lin Jinrong refuses to part with her no matter what. I didn't expect that today she would take the initiative to offer it with both hands.
Lin Jinrong lowered her eyes: "I'll just try to find a way to change it back in the future. If my uncle knew the whole story, he wouldn't blame me." Since Lin Wu didn't really like her, she just let Lin Wu live through this new experience until the future.
Once you have money, it's the same as finding something valuable to exchange for. The most important thing right now is to meet the Tao family's mother and son.
There really was no other way except asking the big house to find a way around it. Lychee sighed and took out a finely carved red sandalwood box from the bookcase against the wall. He opened the lid and lifted the brocade, revealing a pair of simple and elegant pairs.
, the finely crafted Tao Xun came: "That's it, just pick the one you like and keep it."
Lin Jinrong's fingers touched the Tao Xun lightly, then took it back, turning away her eyes and said, "It's the same no matter what." Something went wrong with this pair of Xuns soon after she brought them to the Lu family as a dowry in her previous life.
That day, Lu Yan asked her to take it out to play and play, only to find that one was missing for no reason and could not be found. Lu Yan also ridiculed that Xun had wings and flew by itself, as if she was deliberately lying to him. Although she had
After tracing, nothing was found. The whereabouts of Xun remained a mystery. Why did he think so far away again? Lin Jinrong shook his head and suppressed his thoughts.
Lychee had no choice but to follow her usual observations and keep the one that Lin Jinrong often played with. She found a small and exquisite brocade box to put the other xun in. She held up an oiled umbrella and stepped on it against the continuous autumn rain.
The bluestone road is here.
"Young lady, you have been wronged." Aunt Gui could see clearly from the side. She used a silver hairpin to pick out some of the carefully prepared fragrant snow cream from the porcelain box and gave it to Lin Jinrong to apply carefully on her face, neck, and hands.
, gently rubbed it away for Lin Jinrong, and sighed silently.
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "It's nothing. Don't you think I've grown up?"
"The girl has grown up." Aunt Gui looked at Lin Jinrong with a complicated expression. The girl was getting older and had more ideas. She no longer liked to discuss things with her as before, but instead
Ai took Li Zhi to discuss secretly behind his back, and even taught Li Zhi how to read and write in the past few days... But that girl Gui Yuan was so heartless that she was lazy and playful, and even yelled at herself to ask the girl for the key to the gold and silver box.
.
If it weren't her daughter, she would dare to say this to persuade the girl that our daughter didn't tie the key and run away by herself, but that was her biological daughter, and she couldn't say this. Besides, the girl was so tolerant that Guiyuan could not tolerate this.
How could this unruly girl not take care of her with all her heart just because she has big breasts? No matter how greedy she is, it means she has insufficient heart.
Therefore, Aunt Gui finished what she was doing and resigned: "Old slave, let's go outside to see. This girl Guiyuan went to get breakfast early. Why haven't we seen her come back after all the hard work?"
Lin Jinrong smiled. Fortunately, Aunt Gui didn't speak.
Aunt Gui stood under the curtain for a short time when she saw Guiyuan walking over holding an oil umbrella and carrying a food box. She got on the Ruyi Duo, first handed the dripping oil umbrella to Dou'er, and then placed it on the brown mat.
After wiping away the water stains on his shoes, Fang met Aunt Gui and whispered: "Mom, have you told the girl?"
Aunt Gui glared at her coldly, took the food box with one hand, pinched her with the other hand, and said coldly: "No, you are not allowed to say a word, otherwise I will treat you to fried legs on bamboo boards.
Muscles!”
Guiyuan grimaced in pain, but did not dare to cry. She followed Aunt Gui into the house with a sullen face. She looked into the back room, and while setting out the dishes and chopsticks with Aunt Gui, she curiously asked in a low voice: "What happened to me just now?"
We’re at Litchi, where is she going in a hurry?”
Before Grandma Gui could speak, she saw Lin Jinrong coming out and said gently: "I asked her to invite the fifth girl to come for tea. I want to have a farewell meal with my uncle and wife tonight."
Guiyuan immediately pursed her lips again. She used to do things that could get rewards for running errands, but now she gradually turned into a lychee? Then a look of grievance appeared on her face, and Aunt Gui hurriedly coughed:
"Hurry up and give the hot handkerchief to the girl to wipe her hands with!" He said, taking a step forward to block Guiyuan's expression so that Lin Jinrong wouldn't be disgusted by it.
Lin Jinrong, however, had long noticed the expressions and behaviors of mother and daughter, and just immersed herself in eating, pretending that she had not heard or seen anything. Besides Lychee, who else would be different by her side? At least Aunt Gui treated her sincerely.
, and also knows how to measure.
Shao Qing, Li Zhi rushed back with a damp body and said: "Girl, the fifth girl collected the xun and was very happy and promised to come over right away. But the slave girl saw that everyone in her room was packing their things and seemed to be going out.
I don’t know if it’s too late or not?”
"Did you ask what happened?" Lin Jinrong looked out the window. The autumn rain was still falling. If the girl from the Lin family wanted to go out in such weather, she must have encountered something unusual.
——*——*——*——
At the end of the year, I was too busy at work during the day, and I could only look forward to going home to code at night. But Su... held her head in great pain. Starting from 8 pm on the 13th, the power went out at home, and most of the city was also shut down. I don’t know when it will be possible.
Come, look at the sky... If this continues, I'm afraid I will stop updating...
Ami Doufu, please fix the circuit quickly... People who are very cold due to power outages and have no food to eat can’t afford to be hurt!!! (To be continued)
