On the seventh day after arriving in Beijing, Changshou came to see him and said that Wang Lichun survived. On the third day, the fever subsided. On the fifth day, he got up and walked around. On the sixth day, he drove him away. He remembered Lu Mian's instructions and did not dare to go too far.
He asked, not daring to say more. He just settled the accommodation and medical expenses one by one, and put the few taels of silver that Lu Yan had ordered earlier in front of Wang Lichun, saying that it was for him to pay for his mother's expenses. Wang Lichun remained silent.
After sitting for a while, he swept them all into his arms without any ceremony, and then went to sleep in the room.
When Changshou talked about this, he complained to himself: "I have never seen such a person, and he didn't even say a polite word of thanks. If I were slower in delivering medicine and food to him on weekdays, I would get a look from him."
"Why bother with him." Lu Yan just smiled and put the matter behind him. In his spare time, he concentrated on leading Lin Jinrong around and having fun.
The prosperity of Beijing is completely different from other places. Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan have seen a good night with all the lights, enjoyed various lively and novel sideshows, and walked hand in hand through those quiet alleys on a moonlit night.
Stand at the entrance of the alley and listen to a few new songs for the night banquets of wealthy families; or stand in a quiet teahouse and elegant room, under the half-draped curtain of the Xiang Concubine, and look at the BMWs and carriages on the street, paved with gold and greenery.
The sleeves of the beautiful clothes are full of fragrance; in the season of mild wind and drizzle, we held a big green cloth umbrella together and walked beside the river through the city, watching quietly how the wind and rain wet the high ceilings of the painting pavilion and how the moss climbed
The city wall is covered with blue bricks.
It was a quiet, peaceful and leisurely experience that he had never experienced before. Lin Jinrong was so intoxicated that he almost didn't want to wake up.
By the time all the affairs were settled, Lu Yan's errands were started, and Lin Jinrong was generally familiar with the new environment, it was already July.
In the afternoon of this day, Lin Jinrong took a nap for a little longer. When he got up, he had no energy. He leaned on the couch in front of the window and rested. Cherry brought a bowl of iced black plum soup and said, "Grandma, just take a bowl. It's cool."
Then I felt energetic.”
The plum soup in the translucent diamond-shaped glass bowl showed a dark purple color, and the ice residue inside had not yet melted. It was crystal clear, making people cool down immediately and feel a little energetic. Lin Jinrong had just reached out and touched the glass bowl.
, Aunt Sha opened the curtain and came in, saluted her with a smile, and said softly: "Grandma, don't think this old slave is too talkative, this young woman should eat less of these cold things.
After sleeping for a long time, just move. The grapes in the yard are ripe. Grandma might as well lead a few little girls, get scissors and baskets, pick a few bunches, and put them together with the watermelons that were delivered in the morning.
The water in the well will be really delicious when the second master comes back."
"Mommy is right, it's time to give it a try." Lin Jinrong knew what Aunt Sha was thinking about, and she only had these two days, so she endured her greed and casually drank the bowl of plum soup.
Eat cherries.
She had to admit that it was indeed very wise for Lu Mian to ask Aunt Sha to come. When Aunt Sha was with the old lady earlier, although she was polite to her, she was always separated by a layer of distance.
Not close, but considering her status, it makes sense; but now, she seems to be treating her quite sincerely. She doesn't talk much and doesn't pick troubles. Even when she has different opinions, she can still express her opinions tactfully and easily.
Expressed in a way that is acceptable. But it is much easier to use than Aunt Gui.
This is exactly what a woman should be so cautious about when it comes to health care, especially a woman who wants to have a child. Seeing Lin Jinrong listen to her advice, Aunt Sha was even more happy. There were even more wrinkles on her face, and she didn't care.
It was so hot that he ran to the kitchen enthusiastically to stare at the cook.
Lin Jinrong washed her face with cold water, changed into a narrow skirt with small sleeves that was convenient for work, and stood on the porch looking at this temporary little home, her eyes filled with joy.
Although the yard Lu Yan bought is not as clever and spacious as the gardens of Lu and Lin's family, it is more warm and exquisite. The backyard is divided into three parts, namely the main courtyard, the west courtyard, the east courtyard, and the west courtyard. Guest rooms are made and boxes and miscellaneous items are piled up.
The east courtyard was used as Lu Mian's study and a place to receive close friends and colleagues. Chrysanthemums were planted in the east courtyard, crabapples and plum trees were planted in the west courtyard, and a grape trellis was built in the main courtyard.
The grapes are several years old, and the vines are as thick as an adult's arm. They climb up the shelf in a twisting and twisting manner, covering the courtyard with green branches and green leaves, shining with purple. The heavy bunches of grapes are hung on the shelf, almost
The support poles are bent, the breeze is blowing, the leaves are rustling all over the courtyard, and the fragrance of grapes is everywhere. Walking under the trellis, you are not afraid of being burned by the sun. Even if there are a few beams of sunlight occasionally, it is just
Just the embellishment on the cake.
Lin Jinrong took Shuangquan with him and walked downstairs holding a rattan basket. Except for the ones that were not yet fully mature and still green, no matter which string he looked at, he thought it was good and wanted to cut it off. Unknowingly, he pretended
The basket was full and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her body. She still didn't want to stop, so she took the scissors and wandered around without finishing.
Dou'er put a pot of tea and two plates of cakes on the stone table under the shelf. When he turned around and saw her like this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Grandma, leave a few more strings for the second master to use. I can leave a few more hanging on the branches."
It would be a pity if you can’t eat it if you cut it off. It’s not like back home, where you can still have a few acquaintances to give it to.”
They had only been here for a short time. Although they had gone out with Lu Jian a few times and got to know a few of the women's families, they were just acquaintances because they were completely different from each other and had completely different customs and hobbies.
After taking these small things to give away, Lin Jinrong stopped and picked out a few bunches of the ripest and purple grapes and handed them to Shuangfu and Shuangquan: "Go pick up the basket hanging from the well and wash this
Now, put them together with the melons in the well, and wait for the second master to come back to eat. The rest will be rewarded to you, and you can eat it whenever you want."
"Slave, go and wash it now." Cherry had the best snacks and fruits. When she heard about it, she narrowed her eyes into slits with a smile, and did not forget to pat Lin Jinrong on her ass: "Grandma is really a good person."
Shuangquan and Shuangfu hurried to the wellhead in the corner of the courtyard, rolled up their sleeves and shook the windlass, hoisted up a hanging basket that had been submerged in the water in the morning, and carefully placed the grapes around the watermelon, one holding the sling steady.
, shook the wheel, and slowly laid the basket flat.
Several girls were chattering around eating grapes. Lin Jinrong smiled and took the autumn clothes made for Lu Yan, and sat under the grape trellis to sew them carefully.
Xia Ye walked in quickly from outside and said with a smile: "Grandma, I finally have confidence in the shop you asked me to find near Panlou Street. It's just that the location is a bit off and it's a bit small, but it's really rare."
Panlou Street sells jewelry, cloth, spices, and medicines, with transactions involving tens of thousands of dollars. It can be said that every inch of land is precious. It is not easy to find a shop here. Even if you find it, you may not be able to find it.
To be able to stand, most of these households are supported by people behind them. I don’t know if I, an outsider, can stand? Lin Jinrong was silent for a while and said: "Thank you for your hard work, sister. Let's go over there to eat grapes and rest."
, I will give you a message tomorrow."
Xia Ye agreed and went to eat the grapes happily. Dou'er gently scraped the needle in her hair twice, endured it again and again, and finally said: "What do you think, grandma? It's not like she doesn't have money."
, it’s rare to be relaxed, but I don’t want to be idle.”
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that I'll get sick if I'm locked up here every day. Anyway, I'm idle, so why not make more money?" There are too many places for her to spend money, and Jianyi Village is the perfect place.
Needless to say, we have to leave more money for that little person. How can she be so idle with peace of mind?
Dou'er knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he could only sigh softly and said: "The days go by so fast, and tomorrow is Chinese Valentine's Day."
Lin Jinrong stopped the needlework in his hand and looked up at the faint flowing clouds in the sky. After a long time, he said: "The days go by so fast, but in the blink of an eye, a few years have passed."
When it was almost time to apply, Lu Yan handed over his errand and left the secretarial department with two unworthy colleagues. They walked south along the Royal Street and turned into a small street. They saw that the road was full of stalls and people were coming and going.
, everyone was laughing and laughing, it was so lively, I couldn't help but ask the two colleagues: "What are you doing?"
The two people knew that he had just arrived in Beijing and did not know the customs here, so they patiently explained to him: "Tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day. This is a seasonal thing, and women and children like it the most. If Mr. Lu is interested, he might as well go there
Let’s take a look.”
Lu Yan saw a pair of exquisite little clay dolls at a glance. The little clay dolls used finely carved wood as the base. They were wearing fine red and green gauze robes and skirts, and their heads were decorated with gold beads and jade. They were particularly special.
Exquisite and meticulous. I also saw geese, mandarin ducks, turtles, turtles and other fish floating on the water made of yellow wax. They were all painted with gold threads, exquisite and attractive. I couldn't help but think to myself, Lin Jinrong would definitely like this. So he quit that.
The two colleagues first bought the pair of priceless clay dolls, and then looked at them one by one along the street, buying as they walked, grains, melons, fruit varieties, incense, Fangsheng, seeds, etc.
Buy them all.
When he walked to the front, he saw someone selling a double-headed lotus. It was obviously a fake, but Lu Yan didn't mind it and bought it with a smile. He wanted to behave decently and stuffed them all into Changshou's hand, and walked forward in a carefree manner. Poor
To live a long life, you have to sweat profusely when carrying things, and you have to free one hand to hold up the two-headed lotus. For a moment, you wish you had three heads and six arms. You have to moan, act silly, and spend money to scream.
A free man came over to help.
It was early in the year when Lu Yan returned home. When he arrived in the backyard, he saw Lin Jinrong sitting alone under the grape trellis, with his head lowered making him autumn clothes. There was a pot of tea and two plates with water drops on the stone table next to him.
The fresh fruits and melons, knowing that they were waiting for him to come home to eat, couldn't help but feel filled with sweetness, and sent the two-headed lotus from behind to Lin Jinrong like a treasure.
Lin Jinrong looked up at him, smiled slightly, and said softly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Yan's eyebrows suddenly lit up and he whispered: "I bought you a lot of things. Let's look at them together after dinner."
Lin Jinrong nodded gently: "Okay." Because sweetness is rare, I cherish it especially.
