Lin Yuzhen looked at Lu Yan and said in a rather unkind tone: "I heard that you came back very late last night. Where did you go?"
Lu Mian had been with her for many years and knew that this was a sign that she was going to have an attack, but he didn't know why she suddenly showed such an attitude, so he answered vaguely: "The third brother Xunlin said something serious, and he met a few family friends on the street.
, so we went to the newly opened Fude Building to have a drink and talk.”
Lin Yuzhen was remembering what Lin Jinrong told her yesterday - Mrs. Tu wanted to get involved in Lu Yan's room. This was something she could not tolerate, so she felt very displeased with Lu Yan, but she couldn't say it clearly, so she
Lu Mian just took the opportunity to get angry: "I finally got home, and all I can do is get angry with your wife. I just go out to do business, but I always eat, drink and have fun with a group of people? I will go to Beijing to take the exam next fall. You're welcome."
How?"
Lin Jinrong felt secretly happy, lowering her eyes and pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Lu Yun heard from the side and urged with a smile: "Mom, what kind of person is my brother? He has always been very measured and rarely goes out with others. When making friends, you can't help but interact with each other."
"What do you know? When have I ever stopped him from having a serious relationship?" Lin Yuzhen rolled her eyes and said to Lu Yan rudely: "Do the things your grandfather assigned you well, read your books well, and other things.
Ah Rong and I will arrange things for you! Don't let your grandparents, your father, and my expectations down!"
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and answered: "Yes."
Lin Yuzhen picked up the tea cup and blew slowly: "Your father's New Year's gift is coming soon. There must be a letter urging you in it. You can take care of it yourself!"
This was the end of the lecture. Lin Jinrong smiled at the right time and said: "Aunt, Min Xing didn't go to pay his respects to the old lady yesterday."
Lin Yuzhen didn't embarrass her now, so she gave her this face: "Go and say hello earlier, so that you can work early and study. Tell your grandmother that I will go over to serve her after I finish taking care of the housework." But in her heart, she said
I'm thinking about how to deal with Mrs. Tu so that she can retreat from the difficulties, knowing that this is not something that her aunt can do. People who can't always recognize their identity and situation are not worthy of being given face!
"Yes." Lin Jinrong greeted Lu Yun with a smile: "Ayun, do you want to go with us?"
Lu Yun's eyes flicked back and forth between her and Lu Yan's faces, and he smiled slightly: "I'm afraid of the cold, so I'll wait until it gets warmer in the afternoon before going." He sent the couple out attentively, and whispered to Lu Yan in a sincere voice.
: "Brother, please don't get angry and argue with my sister-in-law again. That's great."
Lin Jinrong felt a chill, looked at Lu Yan with a smile and said, "Look, we've made my sister worried."
Lu Yun smiled softly: "You are all my dearest people. Of course I hope you will be well. This way I will feel at ease even when I go far away in the future."
Lu Yan smiled at her reassuringly and said, "It's cold and windy. Come in quickly."
The two of them walked far away, and Lin Jinrong looked back, but saw that Lu Yun was still standing there, looking motionless in their direction, so he grinned at Lu Yun, turned around and said to Lu Yan: "Ayun, what's going on?
Is it settled?”
Lu Yan nodded: "I think my father's letter will arrive with the New Year's gift. Those who go there to inquire will probably come back after the new year. There won't be any big changes."
Lin Jinrong said: "We have to give her a decent gift."
Although Lu Yan was scolded by Lin Yuzhen, he was in a good mood. He smiled with some interest and said, "What are you going to give her?"
Lin Jinrong did not answer him directly, but asked: "You must have had a plan for a long time. What are you planning to give her?"
Lu Yan smiled: "She likes to play the piano, so I found a good piano for her. I also asked the bead shop to prepare a box of good beads for her. Do you think it's enough?"
After hearing what he said, Lin Jinrong became more aware and said with a smile: "I am a sister-in-law. I am afraid that you, my brother, will say that I can't bear to part with you. I just want to give her a gold-headed face as a gift."
It’s just that I can get by.”
Lychee coughed lightly: "Grandma and uncle are here." Then she saw Lu Shao holding Hao Lang, behind him Su Jin and Guixiang carefully supported Lu on the left and right, and the whole family happily walked from the other side.
One side walked over.
Seeing that they were about to meet, Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan both smiled at the same time and went to greet them.
Lu Shao looked at the two of them with a smile and said enthusiastically: "Are you going to greet your grandmother? Second brother, you haven't been home for a long time. How about we brothers have a drink someday?"
Lu Yan said gently and honestly: "I'm going to treat you as a host to my eldest brother."
Lu Shao laughed loudly: "I'm the big one anyway, it's my turn to treat you." He added: "If the Mao Brown business does well, brother, I will use my own money to hire people to sing and perform juggling every day during the Chinese New Year. Then Wu Lang
They are also back, so that the whole family can be happy and have a happy New Year." I am truly proud.
Lu Yan's eyelids twitched and he only smiled faintly.
Lu Shao saw this and was in a good mood. He touched Haolang's head and said, "Aren't you always talking about your second aunt? Why do you hide here when you see someone? It's not generous at all?" Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Shao.
Shi cut it out with one glance. What do women know? She said she couldn't keep her anger, so Lu Shao ignored Lu and only pushed Hao Lang.
Haolang was just an ignorant kid of a few years old, so he didn't know anything. He immediately ran forward and held Lin Jinrong's hand, happily saying childish words to her. Lin Jinrong hated, hated and even hated Lu Shao and Lu.
There was no way she could even take her two children who liked them with her, but she was not the kind of boring person, so she had to answer Hao Lang's words one by one with a smile.
This situation fell into the eyes of Lu Shao and Lu Shi, because they felt that she was really scheming and didn't reveal anything. Lu Yan saw this, but he sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that Lin Shiquan was right, she was
A kind-hearted person.
How did Lin Jinrong know that her ordinary behavior would change in the eyes of these people? She just deliberately turned a blind eye to Tu's eyes that glanced at her from time to time.
When they arrived at Rongjing Residence while they were talking, Mrs. Lu had already gotten up, and Mr. Lu was also there. The old couple were sitting and having breakfast. Hao Lang was used to pampering, so he immediately threw away Lin Jinrong's hand and ran towards the two elders, saying softly: "
Great-grandfather, great-grandmother! My grandson misses you so much."
"My dear grandson, my great-grandmother misses you too." Old Mrs. Lu smiled brightly when she heard this. She opened her arms and hugged him tightly and kissed him. Everyone came forward to salute and say hello. Old Mrs. Lu looked at him from Lu Ming with bright eyes.
, Lin Jinrong scanned his face and nodded gently: "Everyone, get up."
Lin Jinrong washed his hands and went to add food to the second elder Bu Cai. Seeing her gentle expression and dignified and calm behavior, combined with what happened yesterday, Mr. Lu was very satisfied with her calmness and said to her after the meal.
He said a few words of concern and hinted that the young couple should live a good life.
Lin Jinrong was used to Mr. Lu's style for a long time, so he didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, his eyebrows became more supple. Mr. Lu originally came to see a joke, but he didn't see the joke, but he saw it
I was so angry that I just held my stomach and tried my best to talk to Mrs. Lu about how Yuanlang and Haolang were filial and smart.
Old Mrs. Lu interrupted her calmly: "How is Yuan Lang studying?"
Lu stopped talking, and Lu Shao said with a smile: "Sir, he said it's not bad."
Mr. Lu said with a straight face: "Let him study with his second uncle when he has time. Whether it is his character or knowledge, it will be of great benefit to him. It's late, so do whatever you have to do.
Let's go." After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the door first.
Everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion, each with their own ulterior motives, and several emotions could be heard in one sentence. Old Mrs. Lu and Xi Ni said: "Let's all disperse, I have to do morning lessons." So everyone bowed and left, doing their own thing.
When Lu saw Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong walking away, she couldn't help but asked Lu Shao in a low voice: "What do you mean, old man?"
Lu Shao said calmly: "What do you mean? In his eyes, that one is the best, and others are not as good as him."
Lu was silent and said bitterly: "Didn't you say that it was done yesterday? Why did it happen again? Could it be that it was not done properly and the flaws were exposed?"
"How do you know they are not forcing their faces to smile? A woman's jealousy will cause her to miss important things." Lu Shao was confident: "This kind of thing is between the virtual and the real. After planting the seed, there will always be something.
When things take root and sprout, Erlang's temperament is to hide things in his heart until he can no longer hide them, but by that time, there is almost no change. Just wait and see, why are you anxious?"
Lin Jinrong accompanied Lin Yuzhen to take care of the housework for nearly two hours before she had some free time. She went back to her room to take medicine and rest before drinking the medicine. Cherry said: "Mama Fang is here." Then Fang Zhu came in and said with a smile:
"Grandma, I have something to report."
Lin Jinrong waved his hand to the others to wait: "But do you have any clues?"
Fangzhu whispered: "What happened about the whitebait sachet last time was when a little girl named Qing Ai in the girl's room mentioned to the eldest lady that the food cooked by Grandma Gui was good."
Qing Ai? Lin Jinrong had no impression of this girl at all, so he frowned slightly: "Have you found out what her relationship is with that girl?"
Fangzhu smiled and shook his head: "There is another story. The old lady gave the eldest daughter a pearl. Her uncle married the second cousin of Feng Chun, the chief steward of the second master."
Lin Jinrong rubbed his forehead: "These seven aunts and eight aunts can make people confused by going around. How is Zhu'er doing on weekdays?"
Fangzhu said: "It's very safe, because she was given to her by the old lady, and the older girl always leaves her with some dignity. I never see her walking that way on weekdays."
Lin Jinrong pondered for a moment and said: "You can't accuse people unjustly, but you can't leave them out either. Keep an eye on them and don't try to scare them."
Fang Zhu agreed, and told Lin Jinrong some trivial matters outside. When she saw Lu Mian come in, she resigned.
