The two stewards of the Lu family had to rush back to Pingzhou for the New Year, so after Lu Yan obtained the prescription from Taiyuan Hospital, they set off back to Pingzhou the next day.
Chun Ya and his wife quickly became familiar with the environment. Chun Ya could write and do calculations, and soon took over Li Zhi's original role. Not only did she help Lin Jinrong manage the affairs of the inner courtyard, but she could also read the account books and provide suggestions for Lin Jinrong.
Her husband, Lin Guize, often hangs out in the shop. He quickly became familiar with Yao Zhuo and the other guys in the shop. He also got along well with Lu Liang. He was very useful and Lin Jinrong was very satisfied.
After she was free, she divided up the local specialties sent by Pingzhou and asked Lu Liang to deliver them to several colleagues, friends and bosses who had made friends with Lu Mian, as well as several fellow villagers.
I gave a copy to Rong Qi. After all, he was from my hometown, and he had the feeling of rescuing the siege that day. Although he didn't lack this, he didn't necessarily appreciate it if he gave it to him, but whether he gave it to him or not was another matter.
It was the New Year's Eve, and all the families who could afford it were given New Year's gifts. So Lu Liang brought back many gifts, which were all local specialties from various places. Only Rongfu gave them, but the ones he gave were not local products from Taiming Mansion.
Special, but some of the latest game, a cage of pheasants, a cage of hares, the visitor specifically pointed out that their seventh master personally caught them in the net.
As the weather gets colder and colder, it gets dark earlier and earlier. It snowed lightly that day. Lin Jinrong planned to make a pot to cook hare meat and mutton, and then warm Lu Yan up with a pot of good wine to let him relax.
Relax.
Lu Yan was nearly an hour later than usual that day. He didn't get home until it was almost dark. Before he could change his clothes, he gave her a gold-plated message: "Ms. Rong Qi asked you to come to their house to see the plum blossoms the day after tomorrow."
.”
The words written on the gilded post were romantic and had a unique artistic conception. It was clear that the owner was an elegant person. Lin Jinrong had not attended such a gathering for a long time. In fact, he wanted to go, but he was afraid that it would just be a casual gesture and he would marry Lu.
Silent discussion: "Min Xing thinks I should go, shouldn't I go?" If she doesn't feel comfortable going, it means she is about six months pregnant, so she can push her away gently without offending anyone.
Lu Yan asked her seriously: "Do you want to go? I know you are pregnant. Rong Qi told me that there were not many people invited, and I didn't want to offend anyone. I just sat in the warm pavilion and watched the flowers and tea. The most I could do was chant.
You can write poetry, calligraphy, play the harp and flute, etc., you can do it all, and you are not afraid of making people laugh."
Lin Jinrong said: "I am not a shy person, nor do I have stage fright, but I am just worried that I am not sincere. In that case, I will write a reply."
Lu Yan said with a smile: "I'll pick you up then." Then he ordered Yingtao to get some pen and ink, and personally polished the ink for Lin Jinrong to watch her write a reply.
In this kind of situation, calligraphy is a powerful tool to decorate the facade. Lin Jinrong had to write three or four pictures in a row. He thought it was the best, and then showed it to Lu Yan: "See if you don't look ugly."
?”
Lu Yan took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about being compared with others. Although she grew up rich and noble, you are also a famous and talented woman in our Pingzhou. Everyone has their own merits, hers is more romantic, yours is stronger, there is no difference.
Worse than her." When he said this, he was quite proud.
Everyone likes to hear nice things. Although Lin Jinrong didn't dare to take his words seriously, after comparing the two posts, he actually saw a lot of confidence and said with a smile: "You are right, otherwise.
, although I am not a first-class expert in sharing tea and blowing the xun, I will not be embarrassed. Although she grew up in a wealthy family, I just interact with her with a normal heart. If I get along with her, I will say a few words.
If you don’t say a few words, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Seeing what she said, Lu Yan praised her repeatedly: "This is exactly the principle. Don't flatter or show off, just be normal." He called someone in and sent a reply to Rong Mansion, and then asked: "I heard you made delicious food.
?”
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "It's cold, so I made a pot. I cooked hare meat and mutton to eat, and boiled a pot of silver bottle of wine for you to make it easy for you."
After a while, the food and wine were put out. Lu Yan was in a good mood and asked, "How many are there? Let the servants open two tables. They have been serving very well these days." He squeezed the flesh on the back of Lin Jinrong's hand and said with a smile:
"Look, I've gained weight."
Lin Jinrong filled his cup with warm wine: "It has been arranged long ago. Now we have one table for Aunt Sha and the others, and another table for Lu Liang Changshou and the others outside." Then he ordered Dou'er and the others who were waiting attentively on the side.
Cherry Two: "Go and eat. I don't need you to serve me here. I will call you if anything happens."
After the two left, Lu Yan drank the wine in one gulp and looked at Lin Jinrong through the steaming heat. He felt that she was white and rosy, plump and beautiful, so he felt that his whole body was getting hot and he wanted to take off his clothes.
robe.
Lin Jinrong said hurriedly: "Why don't you take off your clothes and do what? Be careful of catching a cold."
Lu Yan smiled and said, "I'm strong, so I'm not afraid." After saying that, he got up and closed the door and bolted it. He turned around and sat down next to Lin Jinrong, hugged her shoulders, looked at her sideways, and lowered his head.
The voice said: "I'm hungry." But the other mouth was hungry.
Lin Jinrong laughed and brought him a cup to feed him wine: "You can eat when you are hungry. Isn't such a table of delicious food not enough for you? Tell me what you want to eat and I'll give it to you."
"I want to eat this." Lu Yan drank from her hand. When he was about to finish the wine, he gently licked her hand. Seeing Lin Jinrong's eyes suddenly widened, he couldn't help but smile evilly and put his lips towards her.
Lin Jinrong pushed him in disgust: "It smells like alcohol."
Lu Mian refused: "You can't even kiss her? You are too cruel." He gently touched her chest again. Lin Jinrong couldn't help but spat at him, but she heard the door being pushed gently twice from the outside.
Aunt Sha's lecturing voice could also be heard: "They all ran off to eat and drink, and no one was left here to watch. Who can the second master and grandma go to if they want something?"
Lu Yan quickly stood up and coughed slightly. Suddenly there was no sound at the door, and everything was quiet, which was very awkward.
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Sha and others reacted and left quickly. Lin Jinrong couldn't help but chuckle. Lu Jian stood still for a moment, then ran to gently pull the door bolt, but did not open the door, leaving it alone.
Covering his head, he complained: "It's getting more and more unruly. I used to know how to avoid suspicion when I saw the door closed, but now I dare to open the door."
Lin Jinrong said coolly: "Who would have known that you would be free at such a time? It's time for Aunt Sha to talk to you tomorrow."
Lu Mian was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't do anything."
Lin Jinrong smiled softly, poured him another glass of wine, and picked out a piece of tender hare meat: "Eat it."
Lu Yan hurriedly gave her a piece of mutton: "You can eat it too."
When he was half drunk, he couldn't sit still, so he leaned into Lin Jinrong's ear and whispered a few words, "You have a beautiful idea." Lin Jinrong's face turned red, and she squeezed his waist hard. Lu Yan endured the pain, but kept it tight.
Cheeky and giggle.
Two days later, Lin Jinrong took Aunt Sha and Dou'er to the Rongda Scholar's Mansion south of Longjin Bridge outside Zhuque Gate.
