Lin Jinrong just laughed: "The credit for this matter must be recorded on my third brother, not my credit. It is just a well-informed person. Where Angkor will serve in the future, it is the first-come-first-served position in the family.
It’s time to give it a try. Money is not a burden.”
Wu Xiang took a sip of wine and sighed: "It's a pity that you were born a girl." People in this world, even if they know that they cannot hold all the money in the world in their arms, are willing to find ways to make money casually.
She didn't tell others much. She just wanted others to help her, but she didn't want others to take advantage of her.
Lin Jinrong hated herself for being born a girl, but she didn't realize that if she were a man, she would be a talented person in the world. She knew very well where her current advantages came from, so even when she was at her most prosperous, she would not
Dare to be proud, but she is even more trembling. As for the treasure business, she knows that in the near future, Lu Jianzhong will also do it and lose his fortune. As for the Wu family, Wu Xiang is there, and his family's noses are more sensitive
, why do you need to deliberately cover it up? Then he smiled at Lu Yan, Wu and Xiang filled their glasses respectively, and sighed: "Everything is destiny, so it's not bad. Think more about the good, I was born in wealth."
He calls his slaves and maids in his house, and he never goes hungry or has no clothes to cover his body."
"Well said!" Hearing this, Wu Xiang took the wine glass and clinked it with her, and looked at Lu Yan with a smile: "Arong is right, you should always think more about the good things. Although I am... frustrated, I always
You are better than many people. As long as you have talent, you may not be able to achieve your long-cherished wish in the future. Come on, Minxing, let the three of us have a drink! The last time we bet, you won!" It is difficult to admit your failure. You have to really go out.
It's even harder. He may not be able to really go out in the short term, but if he can admit his failure in front of Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong, it will be the first step.
Seeing how upright and upright he was, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a little more admiration. He also picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Wu Xiang, and drank it all in one gulp: "I hope Maohong will realize your long-cherished wish as soon as possible and become a famous minister."
"Thank you very much." Wu Xiang drank a few glasses of wine and was in high spirits, laughing loudly: "Erlang, what is your long-cherished wish in life?"
"I don't know about life. I only know that what I want is different in every period. It seems that I will never be satisfied." Lu Yan was a little dazed. When he was a child, his wish was to return to Tu's side; when he was older, he hoped to
Prove your worth, study hard, and achieve fame; when you get older, you want to marry a satisfactory wife, and then you want to live a good life with Lin Jinrong, and then you will want more and more.
Wu Xiang was silent and sighed: "I know why I lost at your hands, and I am not unjust." A person like Lu Mian takes one step at a time, and fights for the goal he has set, and his talent is not low.
There will always be a time when he succeeds. After sighing, he felt a lot more relieved. He looked back at Lin Jinrong and said: "Arong, what about you, do you have any wishes? Don't say anything to me about being a husband and raising children.
What I really want."
Lin Jinrong stroked the cup, was silent for a moment, and whispered: "I am a woman, so of course my thoughts are different from yours. It's okay not to say anything."
Wu Xiang did not force her and said with a smile: "Forget it, you women really have different ideas from us. What you want is to have a richer dowry, a more considerate husband's family, and a filial and promising child... You must have more ideas.
Make more money."
Lin Jinrong smiled and did not defend herself. After the Zhu family came back, she had a vague idea in her mind, but she didn't know if it would come true one day. But to realize that idea, the root cause is to make more money.
The rain outside the window gradually became lighter, and the pedestrians taking shelter gradually left. Wu Xiang was drunk and unconscious for a long time. Lu Jinshang, still with some clarity, called the store and asked the store to hire an ox cart, and ordered
Changshou followed and sent the person back to Wu's house. He took the money for Lin Jinrong's party and got in the car to leave.
After a few days, the rain that had been falling for a long time finally stopped. Lin Jinrong and Lin Shiquan discussed everything that should be explained and discussed. They packed their bags and went to Pingji Temple to pay their vows and hand over the courtyard to Fang.
Zhu was optimistic and said goodbye to the Lin and Lu families. The couple finally boarded the road to the capital.
From Pingzhou to the capital, you have to travel from land to water first. Lu Mian was considerate of Lin Jinrong's first trip, and was afraid that she would get carsick, so he had to point out the mountains and rivers to her along the way. Dou'er and the others were so excited that they chattered something.
Lin Jinrong just smiled and listened. She had actually walked through this journey once.
Two days' walk from here is the Jiangshen Temple that she will never forget. There is her "old friend" there, Miao Zhu's adopted daughter Jingu. She always remembers Jingu. At that time, everyone was in danger, but Jingu
He was very kind to her and Li Zhi, helping with food and shelter, and everything he could think of. To Jin Gu, she was just a stranger. Such a person could be described as truly kind.
Comparing Dou'er and others, Lu Yan felt that Lin Jinrong was a little abnormally calm, and he was obviously worried. He couldn't help but asked: "Arong, are you uncomfortable? If you are uncomfortable, there is no need to hold on, let them move forward to cool down.
How about taking a break and then walking again?”
Lin Jinrong shook his head: "It's not that I feel uncomfortable, I'm just thinking, how far do we have to go to get to the river? I can't wait to get on the boat." It's not bad to realize a dream that was never realized in the previous life in this life.
What a childish thing, Lu Yan said with a smile: "I'll go to the dock tomorrow evening. I've already sent someone to book a shop and a boat in advance. I'll stay there one night and get on the boat the next morning."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "I heard from the third brother that there is a Jiangshen Temple near the pier. I want to go there to worship and ask the Rivershend to bless us for a safe journey. Can you?"
Lu Yan didn't take it seriously and agreed casually.
The setting sun is like blood, almost falling into the river. The river is vast, and the reeds are undulating back and forth in the evening wind. Two or three children are walking out of the water with bare feet and holding fish baskets. A fat little
The little black dog had a belly full of belly, wagging its tail, and ran wildly in front of them, startling several water birds in the grass. The dog barked, the children laughed, and the adults yelled and cursed.
"This is it." Lu Yan looked at the scene in front of him, smiled comfortably, turned around and helped Lin Jinrong out of the carriage.
Lin Jinrong raised her head and looked at the Jiangshen Temple standing in the dusk. It was still as quiet and silent as she remembered. However, the Jiangshen Temple had not yet gone through the disaster at this time. Although the overall structure was simple and the area was not large, it was full of decorations.
The repair is relatively neat, and it looks a bit solemn and mysterious.
"Second Master, grandma, be careful where you step." Xia Ye's husband, Song Peng, pushed open the ajar door of the temple and shouted inside: "Is there anyone there? My master wants to pay homage."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly stopped him: "Keep your voice down." She died here, but not completely. She was reborn. She always had some cautious respect and awe for the River God in her heart, even when she spoke loudly
, she also felt it was offensive. When she had some money in her hands, she had wanted to go here to worship. However, she, a woman who had never traveled far, suddenly had to travel so far to worship the River God.
It feels weird no matter what. Fortunately, I finally have a chance today.
"Does the guest want to pay homage?" A young woman walked out quietly from the side door. She was wearing a light blue coarse cloth dress, her hair was combed into a bun and was a little yellow, she had high cheekbones, narrow eyes, and her whole body was
There was nothing more than a fine polished copper hairpin. His young face showed a bit of fatigue and vicissitudes of life, and his expression was respectful but also a bit flattering.
Jingu Lin Jinrong almost didn't shout out, she was so excited, but in the end she just nodded reservedly: "Yes."
Jin Gu looked at the sacrifices carried by Changshou and others and said, "Please come with me, my guest."
Lu Yan asked curiously: "How come a woman is in charge?"
Jingu smiled and said in a good voice: "The guest doesn't know something. I was an orphan with nowhere to go. I wish my father was kind enough to adopt me, so I have a place to live. My father is old and has many things to do.
It's inconvenient. I caught the cold earlier and couldn't get up, so I had to come and help the old man. Please don't dislike it, guests."
Lu Yan nodded and asked no more questions.
Lin Jinrong silently looked at the surrounding environment. Every corner, every brick and tile was almost filled with memories.
Er, when we arrived at the front of the main hall, Jingu helped an old man in his sixties out and guided him through the ceremony of worship. Seeing that the sacrifices were rich, she asked Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong to go back and offer them.
Tea.
Lu Yan was tired from the journey and didn't want to eat any coarse tea. Just as he was about to politely decline, he heard Lin Jinrong say: "I'm just tired and want to take a breather." Then he complied with Lin Jinrong's wishes. He walked into the backyard in three steps and two steps.
Standing at the door of the utility room where she had lived for several days, her feet were as heavy as cast lead and she could no longer walk.
Lu Yan frowned slightly: "Arong?"
Lin Jinrong smiled faintly at him: "Don't worry about me, I just want to take a walk." One side called Jin Gu: "Sister, can you help me?"
Jingu was startled, but she didn't ignore it. She walked over hurriedly and said, "May I ask what you want to do?"
Lin Jinrong approached her and said, "I wonder where the latrine is?"
Jin Gu suddenly understood and led her to the corner: "Please come this way."
When Lu Yan saw this, he thought she was worried and led the others away.
Seeing him gone, Lin Jinrong breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with Jin Gu for a while, starting with Miao Zhu's illness, leaving a few pills, and then talking about Jin Gu's future: "Sister, I see that she is a loyal person.
But we women should make some plans for the future. You are not young, so what are your plans? You cannot stay here forever."
She has a delicate appearance, is generous with her actions, and has a kind and polite tone. She is somewhat favored by Jin Gu and she speaks the truth: "I don't want to be like this, but this is fate. The little lady grew up in wealth, so she doesn't know.
There are many people like me in the nearby village alone. Compared to those who were sold into the land of hooked fireworks or sold as concubines of the rich, they are much better."
Lin Jinrong said cautiously: "To tell you the truth, I made a great wish before and wanted to help a few people realize their wishes. It is fate that I happened to meet you today. I dare to ask sister, what is your wish?"
