Lu Yan didn't expect Lin Jinrong to react like this. Seeing Lin Jinrong motionless with his back to him, he couldn't help but feel confused and worried, so he wanted to turn to the front to see what happened to Lin Jinrong. As soon as he stood up, Lin Jinrong quickly turned his back again.
She always refused to look at him and whispered: "Have you been out for a long time?"
Lu Yan intuitively felt that it was better not to force her to face him at this time. It might be better to follow her wishes, so he said dullly: "It's been some time."
Lin Jinrong whispered: "You should go back early. There are many things at home, so don't let others gossip."
The Lu family was in trouble at this time. He and his wife left home together and ran to Yue's house without returning. Someone would definitely gossip. Lu remained silent for a moment and whispered: "Then...I'm leaving."
Lin Jinrong still carried him: "I won't send you off."
Lu Yan stood there for a while, wanting to ask her to turn around and take a look at him, but finally said: "Take care and take your medicine well. I'm leaving."
Lin Jinrong didn't look back, just nodded.
Lu Yan turned around and walked out. Lin Jinrong heard his footsteps far away, turned around, pressed two fingers to the corners of his eyes, sat quietly on the couch for a moment, and called out to the girls to come in: "Where are you going, madam?"
Are you ready? You are going to Pingji Temple tomorrow, right? Have you packed everything?"
Lu Yan paused in front of the courtyard door, looked back at the door with the low curtain, then turned back and walked quietly into the sunset.
…
The next day was another sunny day that was rare in winter. The sunlight penetrated through the carved window lattice and dissipated the cold air in the room. Litchi carefully checked the things Lu Yan was going to take away to make sure there was nothing missing.
Order Mrs. Zhang and others to deliver the things with her
I went to give it to Changshou who was waiting outside the second door, and said: "The rattan box on the left contains pills for daily use, and the rattan box on the right contains gifts for Mr. Zhu and his wife. When you get to the field, remember to remind the second master to give them first."
In the past, Erye's other things were all in that big rattan box."
Changshou agreed, and when he saw Lu Yan resigned, Mrs. Lu and others came out, he went up to greet him: "Second Master, everything has been packed."
Lu Yan said: "Let's go."
Lychee took the cherries, Mrs. Zhang and others watched Lu Yan go out, and then turned around and went in. Halfway through, they saw Su Jin, the eldest girl next to Lu, smiling and carrying a basket, and said with a smile: "What are you doing?"
Where did it come from? A huge group of people."
Lychee smiled and said, "I'm sending my second master out."
Su Jin said: "My grandma scolds me every day. As long as she is half as capable as you, she will be much more relaxed than now."
Lizhi hurriedly pushed: "Sister, I'm joking. Our second grandma often praises you for what you can do."
Su Jin smiled and took her hand: "Let's not flatter each other. Last time our grandma saw a colorful double bow hanging on the skirt of the second grandma. It was really delicate and beautiful, so she told me to give it to her.
Hit two, but I'm clumsy and can't do it. In the past, you had to serve the second grandma, so you were a busy man, so I'm embarrassed to ask you. Please teach me how to do it while you are free today."
Li Zhi was a little hesitant, but Su Jin noticed it and immediately offered blessings and bows: "Good sister, what kind of ceremony do you want me to give you, and what kind words do you want me to say before I agree?" Then she lowered her voice: "If you are
If you don’t want to go to my place, I sent someone to get the silk rope, and we went to the front pavilion to bask in the sun."
Lizhi just didn't want to go to Lu's place and take Su Jin to Lin Jinrong's room. When he was told to just go to the pavilion, he agreed, but emphasized: "I have something else to do, and it can't take more than half an hour."
Su Jin laughed and said, "Your two masters are not here, so it's not you who has the final say. What are you busy with?" Then he handed the basket in his hand to the little girl beside him and ordered: "Go and hand over the errand for me.
Chi’s mother said, I have something to do with Xun Suxin, so I should go home slowly and then go to my room to bring the silk rope over.”
Lychee then also ordered Mrs. Zhang and others: "Go back. Yingying and Aunt Gui said that it has been a cold and cold day for a long time. Take advantage of the good sun to take out the bedding, cushions, grandma, and the second master's big fur cloak to dry them. I will do it later."
return."
Yingtao agreed, pretending to be a girl in charge, and led Mrs. Zhang and others back. Sujin just smiled, held Litchi's hand and walked towards Rongjingju: "Everyone around Second Grandma is very useful.
"
Yingying returned to the yard and told Aunty Gui about what Lychee had said. Aunty Gui said, "I just had this idea. I'd like to dry it while the second master and grandma are away."
Cherry called two little girls, Shuangfu and Shuangquan, who had just arrived: "Come and help." Then she asked Mrs. Zhang and others to pick up a sunny place and set up bamboo poles to tie ropes.
While he was busy, he suddenly saw the eldest girl beside Lin Yuzhen, Fang Ling, coming in: "Hey, are you all drying out the bedding?"
Aunt Gui carefully arranged Lin Jinrong's chinchilla skin cloak and said with a smile: "Why is this young girl here free?"
Fang Ling said: "My wife asked me to ask my grandma to come over and do me a favor."
Aunt Gui quickly stopped her hand and said, "Is it your wife's order?"
Fang Ling laughed: "Yes, the eldest girl has been ill for a long time. Her appetite is really bad. Everything cooked in the kitchen is too oily and unpleasant to eat. I heard that grandma is good at craftsmanship and makes good soup. Madam, please
You go over and help make some food for the girl."
Lin Yuzhen opened her mouth, and even if Lin Jinrong was here, she would definitely not refuse. Aunt Gui hurriedly washed her hands and told Yingying uneasily: "Watch carefully, don't let bugs, birds, cats, etc.
Something is dirty. Be careful not to let the wind blow it down."
Cherry felt a little offended by her verbosity, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, mama, we're just standing guard here and won't go anywhere. There are so many pairs of eyes. As soon as we see something coming, we'll chase it away."
Aunt Gui knew that she had always been a director, so she felt relieved after hearing this.
The sun in winter is the softest. A few little girls were sitting in the shade on the porch feeling cold and basking in the sun, but they felt sleepy. Shuangfu suggested: "Let's play with pebbles?"
Cherry is now thirteen years old. She doesn't even look down on longan on weekdays. She claims to be the most responsible person in the room besides Lychee and Dou'er. How could she be with two eight or nine-year-olds?
A little girl playing such a child's game? She immediately said, "No." Seeing that Shuangfu and Shuangquan were dismayed, they acted like a big girl and said, "You guys are allowed to play for a while."
The two men laughed, took out the round and smooth pebbles, and squatted by the courtyard gate to play. They were having fun when they suddenly saw several little girls of twelve or thirteen years old coming over hand in hand.
He poked his head near the courtyard door and whispered, "Is Cherry here?"
Cherry was imitating Lychee, holding an embroidery bag and sitting there sternly embroidering handkerchiefs. When she heard the call, she recognized the little sisters they often chatted with. They were both children of the Lu family.
The parents were more or less respectable in this house, so they hurriedly greeted them to come in: "Come in."
Those few came in with cautious smiles: "Is everything going to be okay?" It turned out that they all knew that Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian were not here, so they came here to look for cherries when they had time.
Cherry then went to get some melon seed candies and greeted them: "Second Master and Grandma are not here, just sit in this yard and bask in the sun. Sister Litchi won't blame me." After a few words, they started to talk nonsense again. One said that this morning
Lu Shao's Tongfang Guixiang
The grandma was so angry that she had a fetal infection and was kicked by Lu Shao. One of them also said that Lu Jianzhong's two cousins had a falling out because they were fighting to wash Lu Jianzhong's feet, and even Wang An's nephew wanted to marry some outside manager.
My grandson’s daughter-in-law said so.
Cherry was listening with great interest when she suddenly heard a cat meow, and then a cat jumped in from the door of the courtyard. Shuangfu and Shuangquan immediately stood up and shouted to drive away the cat, but the cat was frightened and just ran around.
Mrs. Zhang took a bamboo pole and shouted: "Get out of the way, let's see how I deal with it!" When the two poles went down, they didn't hit the cat, but they were so surprised that the cat turned over several bamboo poles in succession. Everyone was so busy that they helped her.
Those who made poles, those who hugged mattresses, and those who gathered fur cloaks all just wished they had fewer hands. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yingying hurriedly got up and blocked the door of the main room: "Don't let it enter the house!"
The cat then turned around and ran in another direction. People in the yard shouted and chased it away, and finally it was driven up the tree. It stopped on the tree and did not dare to come down. It just screamed miserably. The girls were cleaning up the mess.
While gloating at it, he said: "If you have the guts to go up, dare to come down. Scream, scream, you bad guy."
"What's going on?" When Li Zhixing arrived at the door, he saw the chaos. He frowned and looked at Ying Tao sternly.
Cherry saw the fire in her eyes and felt a little scared. She smiled and said, "I don't know where this cat came from. It ran around when it came in. Finally, it didn't escape into the house."
When Lychee heard that he hadn't entered the house, the stern expression on his face became less intense, and he still said, "Why don't you close the courtyard door to dry the bedding?"
Cherry wilted, stepped forward and whispered: "They came to play with me, but I forgot to let someone close the door."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, those few people were about to leave. Lychee turned around and closed the courtyard door. He winked at Granny Zhang, changed his smile, and went forward to pull her and the others to sit down: "It's rare for you to be guests. See you there."
I have to leave as soon as I come. Will I eat people? Shuangquan went to pour tea. Shuangfu, go and take out a plate each of the ebony candies and candied kumquats that were delivered to you from the shop a few days ago.
Sister, give it a try."
Facing the smiling Lychee, these girls couldn't say anything about leaving, so they all sat next to each other and took something to eat with smiles on their faces. Lychee asked the anxious Cherry beside him: "Why are you guarding me?
?Why don’t you go and see if the things you are drying are scratched by cat’s claws? Are they stained?”
Cherry suddenly woke up, stepped forward to check, stopped in front of an autumn-colored snow-sweeping fur coat, and said with some panic: "Sister, grandma, this coat has a silver-inlaid Pisces fragrance nailed on it."
One of the ball sinkers is missing!”
