Nail a moxa stick on the door, tie a life-long thread, stamp the peach seal, nail a red mouth, hang a calamus, put it in a teaching bag, hang out books, drink moxa wine, eat rice dumplings, and every family gathers together happily.
Lin Jinrong got up early in the morning and tied a colorful longevity thread on his arm by Dou'er in accordance with the solar terms. He also hung a red and white silk bag around his waist, filled with rice and plums.
They were all dressed up like this, and they couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, everyone must be reasonable when wearing these two bags, so as to avoid the disaster of talking about right and wrong."
Dou'er smiled and pointed at the cherries: "I don't have any use for them, so I'm just looking at the cherries."
Cherry hurriedly said: "I am the most reasonable person. This bag is just for the occasion." As he said, he pointed at Shuangfu and Shuangquan: "Why are you laughing! You two should be tighter. That's what grandma said.
you!"
Dou'er pinched her and said, "Look at this girl's sharp mouth."
While he was smiling, someone outside the curtain said: "Slave Caihong pays your respects to grandma."
The laughter of everyone in the room suddenly stopped. The expression on Dou'er's face did not change, but Tao Tao's face darkened. The two little girls Shuangfu and Shuangquan peeked at Lin Jinrong from the corner of their eyes.
There was no emotion on Lin Jinrong's face, and he said calmly: "Come in."
The curtain was opened, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman walked in with her head lowered. She was wearing a pea green jacket, a light blue skirt, a double bun, and only a plain silver hairpin.
And a small silk flower, white and pure, with a round face and smiling eyes, no makeup at all, big breasts, a small waist and a fat butt. It was the rainbow that Lin Yuzhen carefully selected to be Lu Yan's bride.
Caihong was just a second-class girl in Lin Yuzhen's room before. Her original name was Juxiang, she was silent and not outstanding. But because of her honest temperament, pleasant appearance, and she seemed to be a good childbearer, she was favored by Lin Yuzhen.
I picked it out and sent it over. I asked Lin Jinrong to give me a name. At that time, it was raining outside, and there was a half rainbow hanging on the horizon. Lin Jinrong casually said: "Then let's call it Rainbow."
From that day on, Caihong lived in the east wing of Lin Jinrong's yard. At first, she took the initiative to compete with Dou'er and the others to do things. However, Dou'er and the others gave her a cold shoulder a few times, and Lin Jinrong also told her not to do anything.
All she needed to do was to do some needlework. She didn't push forward, but came every morning and evening to say hello.
Caihong didn't even dare to raise his head in this room. He bowed to Lin Jinrong in a dignified manner, then stood aside and whispered as usual: "I wonder if grandma has anything to tell this slave to do?"
Lin Jinrong said as usual: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Although you are new here, don't be too restrained."
The rainbow faded, she curtsied and left. As soon as she lowered the curtain, she felt a blazing gaze staring at her back. She looked back and saw Guiyuan standing by the flower bed not far away, looking at her with blazing eyes.
He looked at her. When he saw her looking over, he lowered his eyes, turned around and quickly entered the house.
Aunt Gui walked out of another room and smiled kindly at her.
Caihong smiled nervously back at Aunt Gui, turned around and hid in the house, took out her sewing work and sat under the window for a while. After a while, she heard something moving outside, and she quickly stood up and looked out through the crack in the window.
, but when they saw the brightly dressed Yingying, Fangzhu and Lin Jinrong, who were surrounded by the well-dressed people, they walked steadily down the steps and walked towards the courtyard door, they knew that Lin Jinrong was taking care of the housework and attending the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet.
. So he sighed lightly, sat back again, and continued to pick up the needle and poke it slowly.
Suddenly I heard Dou'er say from outside: "Come and help me dry the books."
She then opened the window a crack and looked out. Dou'er directed Mrs. Zhang and several other rough ladies to carry out boxes after boxes of books from Lu Mian's study, bringing with them a double blessing and a double blessing.
Several people laid out all these books facing a sunny place. Guiyuan, Nanny Gui and others were all helping, but Lu Mian had so many books that it seemed he could never finish them.
You can't stay locked up in this room forever. Caihong opened the door and stood at the door to greet Dou'er cautiously: "Dou'er, I'm free, how about I come to help?"
Dou'er glanced at her and saw her anxious and expectant look. Thinking that Lin Jinrong had told her not to deliberately embarrass her, she smiled and said, "Come on, just be careful with your hands and feet. These books are the second master's treasure."
After receiving this permission, Caihong, like Fenglunyin, happily walked out and joined the ranks of people posting books. Guiyuan held a few butterfly-covered books and stood at the other end of the yard, looking up at her and walking toward her step by step.
Walk over.
…………
This Dragon Boat Festival is probably the happiest festival for the Lu family in recent years. On a whim, Mr. Lu ordered people to set up a banquet on the lotus pond and waterside pavilion. He invited actors to sing lyrics, perform illusions, and perform dramas. He invited a group of
The tribesmen came to sit and watch a show and eat wine. People came and went and it was very lively, but he enjoyed it: "This kind of liveliness was only when the boss passed the exam. How many years has it been? In this life, he only
I’m afraid this is the only time I’ll be happy again.”
Mr. Lu San felt that these words were ominous and hurriedly stopped him with words: "What did you say, father? There will be many happy things in the future."
"You have to obey the elders." Mr. Lu didn't take it seriously and turned around to have a drink with other clan elders.
Mrs. Lu was halfway through sitting with the female members of the clan when she felt her ears were buzzing from the noise. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she stood up and apologized, holding her forehead and saying, "I can't hold on any longer, so I have to go back and lie down.
Ah Rong, help me back."
Lin Jinrong quickly stood up and responded.
Old Mrs. Lu walked forward, talking to Lin Jinrong carefully all the way, but she wanted to comfort her about the rainbow: "Erlang said he would be coming back in the next few days, and I thought he would be able to come back in time for the festival, but he still didn't. But.
If he comes back in a hurry, I don’t know what your grandfather will do. Your grandfather was not like this when he was young, but he will no longer be stable when he is old."
Lin Jinrong said with a smile: "Actually, it's rare for relatives to get together. Grandpa is also happy. If he is not interested in anything, I'm afraid you will be worried again."
Old Mrs. Lu sighed: "It's true, his illness last winter scared me. In comparison, I would rather he had the energy to make a fuss." The conversation changed to Rainbow.
On the head: "Don't blame your aunt, she is scared. You have been married for more than two years, but..."
Lin Jinrong smiled faintly: "It's not strange." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Lin Yuzhen pushed Old Mrs. Lu, and Old Mrs. Lu pushed Lin Yuzhen, one pretended to be evil, the other pretended to be innocent, with the same purpose, fearing that she would block her in the middle and cause trouble.
She said it was not strange, but how could she really not be surprised? The elders offered her a roommate, so she had to take it, and she felt resentful in her heart. Mrs. Lu herself had been there, and thought she understood Lin Jinrong’s mood very well: "You have always been filial.
The elders are virtuous, but their children's luck is a little worse. If not..." He paused briefly and said in a low voice: "Everyone has his own difficulties. Anyway, it's just a common roommate, it's nothing. Your grandfather has already married me.
After discussing it, I will let you go to Beijing with Erlang this time. It is better to have more people to help you take care of Erlang than at home." But there is another layer of worry inside, fearing that the young couple will go out alone.
Outside, Lu Mian was coaxed and controlled by Lin Jinrong and kept away from other women. Just like Lin Yuzhen and Lu Jianxin, they missed the chance to have children.
Lin Jinrong had long been accustomed to Mr. and Mrs. Lu's style of giving sweet dates with a slap in the face. He couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the following sentence: "Have grandpa and grandma already discussed it?"
Old Mrs. Lu asked curiously: "Don't you know? Earlier when Erlang was imprisoned, he asked someone to bring a letter back and tell your grandfather about it. He didn't tell you?"
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "I didn't say anything. I just said that I should live a good life and respect my elders."
Old Mrs. Lu will continue to work hard and be moved with affection and reason: "Erlang treats you really well. Seeing you as a young couple like this makes us, as elders, happy..."
Suddenly, someone from the front shouted loudly: "Old lady, Second Grandma, Second Master is back!" But a woman came running towards the two of them happily, shouting loudly.
Mrs. Lu immediately cheered up and raised her voice: "Really? Where is he at this moment?"
The woman smiled and said: "I was surrounded by boys outside the second door and congratulated me! The old slave came in early and told the old lady to know, so that the old lady could be happy."
Mrs. Lu didn't go back to Rongjingju anymore, so she asked Lin Jinrong to help her to a cool place to rest, and waited for Lu Yan to come over: "I didn't expect that he could come back. This child has never been able to come back since he was a child.
It doesn’t make people worry, it’s the most considerate thing.”
Lin Jinrong helped her sit down under the grape trellis beside her as she was told. As soon as she sat firmly, she saw Lu Yan's figure appearing not far away, walking quickly in this direction. He was still wearing the clothes he used to protect himself from the wind and dust during the journey.
Wearing a white shirt, he looks a little darker, but he is extremely energetic, with raised eyebrows and straight shoulders and back.
Mrs. Lu saw that he didn't even look here, just walked towards the waterside pavilion with his head buried, and said hurriedly: "Stop him quickly. He was only going that way and didn't expect us to sit here halfway."
Waiting for him."
Cherry quickly responded, trotted out and shouted crisply: "Second Master, the old lady is over here."
Lu Jian immediately stopped and turned around. When he saw a few people sitting under the grape trellis, his eyes immediately brightened up and he walked over quickly with the corners of his lips curled up: "Why isn't grandma busy over there at the waterside pavilion, but here instead?"
To take a break?" As he said this, he gave Mrs. Lu a big bow under the grape trellis.
Mrs. Lu looked at how he liked him at the moment, and she couldn't help but ask questions. Lu Yan patiently answered each one, and secretly glanced at Lin Jinrong with a smile from time to time. Lin Jinrong stood aside with a fan, a smile on the corner of his lips, and absent-mindedly helped Mrs. Lu.
Fanning, when he saw him looking over, he smiled back.
After asking what she wanted to ask, Mrs. Lu chased Lu Yan away with satisfaction: "Hurry up and meet your grandfather and family members in front of you, and then go back, wash up, and go out for dinner." Then she called Lin Jinrong: "I don't want you to accompany me anymore.
Go back to your room and ask someone to prepare hot water and take care of Erlang to wash up and change clothes."
