Didn't this person say that he would leave Beijing in June? Why is he still here at this time? Was this an intentional encounter, or was it really an accidental encounter? Lin Jinrong looked at Mei Baoqing unscrupulously through the curtain.
Yingying bowed: "Master Mei, you're welcome."
After the ceremony was over, Master Lin Jinrong had no choice but to invite him in for tea. Mei Baoqing was not polite and followed Lin Jinrong into the shop and said with a smile: "Mother Hui, come here to meet Second Grandma Lu."
A girl about ten years old, with double buns, a pure white muslin skirt, no decorations on her body, and eyebrows that resembled Mei Baoqing, turned back from a pile of silks from the Japanese country and looked at her coldly.
Mei Bao took a quick look, walked over slowly, and saluted Lin Jinrong lightly: "I've met Second Grandma."
"Please get up quickly." Seeing her like this, Lin Jinrong guessed that she was Mei Baoqing's daughter, so she took off her veil and said with a smile, "Have you seen anyone you like?"
Huiniang smiled slightly, glanced at Mei Baoqing lightly, and said nothing.
"She is my eldest daughter. I am not at home all year round, and her mother is gone again. She has no one to accompany her, which makes her withdrawn. Today, I am free, so I will take her out for a walk." Mei Baoqing said with a smile.
He smiled and said to Huiniang gently: "Whatever you like, just let others take it."
Hui Niang walked aside silently and continued to select things. Lin Jinrong asked Mei Baoqing to sit aside. Without waiting for a word, Yao Zhuo brought the tea again.
"Please." Lin Jinrong only greeted Mei Baoqing for tea as if she were at home. In the past, she was full of curiosity about this person. She only wanted to get acquainted with him and get close to him so that she could expand her business. But now she really
I had the opportunity to meet this man, but I felt that he was no longer mysterious, and all that remained was politeness and caution.
Mei Baoqing looked at Lin Jinrong calmly and said with a smile: "Second Grandma's shop is doing really well. The goods are complete in variety, novel and neat. It has a great future."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "Nowhere, the business is not as prosperous as the shop in my house, but I am just dawdling around and earning a few dollars."
Mei Baoqing smiled and said in a low voice: "I was planning to open one, but I missed the opportunity. Huating County is about to set up a municipal shipping department."
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "The little lady has also heard about it." She didn't understand what Mei Baoqing was going to do. She felt that her own vision was only one-third of Mei Baoqing's. Talking too much would be wrong. It's better to wait and see what happens.
Good.
Mei Baoqing was silent for a moment and said: "Once the Shipping Company is opened, it will be difficult to do this business."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Lin Jinrong thought about the smuggling he was used to doing, and had some vague thoughts, but he didn't dare to talk easily, so he could only follow his topic.
Mei Baoqing was about to say something but stopped, and finally stood up to say goodbye, calling his daughter Huiniang to come over and say goodbye to Lin Jinrong. However, he saw a long attendant coming over and whispered a few words in his ear, his eyes squinting from time to time.
He glanced at Huiniang. Huiniang didn't squint, only stared at her toes.
Mei Bao glanced at Madam Hui calmly and said calmly: "Since the eldest girl likes it, just take it all."
The manager said nothing more casually, and went to the counter to talk to the waiters. Several waiters came out immediately and moved all the valuable things in the shop to the counter. Mei Baoqing's expression was calm, her lips
There was still a smile on his face, but it was too light to be seen.
Lin Jinrong's eyes widened in surprise. Is Mrs. Mei Hui actually going to move half of the things in her shop? A large sum of money is still waiting for her. Among them, most of them are gorgeous silk fabrics and dazzling hairpin accessories.
This little girl is still in Xiaozhong, so she just buys these things and puts them away, so why do she do this?
Mei Huiniang raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Jinrong quietly. Lin Jinrong happened to meet her eyes. These eyes were black and white, but full of sadness and anger that did not match her age. Lin Jinrong thought about it, and she understood.
The girl was using this childish way to oppose her father. So with a bit of pity, she smiled comfortingly at Mei Huiniang and said: "I'm so glad that Hui Niang likes the things in my shop so much, Yao Zhuo..."
Yao Zhuo understood and immediately went up to look at the goods and gave him a preferential price. Mei Huiniang curled her lips dissatisfied and lowered her head to stare at her toes. Mei Baoqing sighed and said: "This
Naughty boy, why don’t you thank your second aunt of the Lu family?”
Lin Jinrong was a little surprised. Before, she was Mistress Lu, and now she was her aunt. But it was not easy to reject this cheap niece on the spot, so she agreed and sent her father and daughter out.
"I don't have this much money with me now. I'll have it delivered later." Mei Baoqing smiled bitterly as she watched the man stuff all the many things into his carriage and left. Mei Huiniang got on the carriage,
He raised one corner of the car curtain and looked at Lin Jinrong quietly with a sad expression.
Yao Zhuo smiled and said: "This little girl is quite interesting. Before you come, you have to ask for the biggest cat's eye stone. Mr. Mei is not that generous. He just listens and doesn't speak. He waits until you arrive.
I was relieved, but she took so much money in one go, millions of dollars, and only a family like the Mei family can fight so boldly."
Lin Jinrong turned around and entered: "When did they come?"
Yao Zhuo thought for a while and said, "You didn't even bother to have a cup of tea before you came in. When the little girl came in, there were still tears in the corners of her eyes."
"Go and find out which store they were shopping in before." Lin Jinrong thought for a moment, put this matter aside, and turned to the topic: "I have a few things to ask for your advice. Come on, let's
Talk as you watch.”
After she and Yao Zhuo had discussed important matters here, the people who went out to inquire about the news also came: "My boss, it is said that Mr. Mei went out after noon. He only went to his shop for a while before he went this way.
Coming."
Lin Jinrong fell silent, as if he had come here to intercept her. Thinking about the sad little girl, it seemed that he had been brought here to show her mercy.
Immediately afterwards, the Mei family sent another silver coin, and the payment was all in silver, not copper coins. Lin Jinrong did the math and found out that the discounted price she gave the Mei family and his daughter was better than what she would have to pay to send the copper coins to a silver shop in exchange for silver.
The money was almost equal, which meant that Mei Baoqing did not let her suffer at all, and even allowed her to do favors. For a moment, she felt that this person was really scary. He guessed that she would definitely exchange the copper coins for silver, so he simply gave them to her.
When the money comes over, everything is covered.
What does Mei Baoqing want to do? It's just a show of goodwill. She really wants to be friends with Lu Yan, so she brings her eldest daughter, who has lost her mother and has a withdrawn and eccentric personality, to her in this way? Or does she have other plans?
Is this how he does all his business? It's obviously impossible. It's creepy when you're stared at by a wolf and you don't know its intentions.
Lin Jinrong didn't know whether the failure of the Lu family back then was related to Mei Baoqing, let alone the direction this variable would lead to in this life. She just shuddered subconsciously and hurried home.
It was almost evening, and there was not a breath of wind in the yard. Lu Yan had already returned home, and he hugged Yilang and played in the yard. Yilang was crying and coaxing him in a low voice. He didn’t know what to say, so he could only
Seeing the extremely impatient expression on his face, Yilang refused and cried hoarsely.
Lin Jinrong was so frightened by the crying that he rushed over to pick it up and said, "Why are you crying like this? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" He looked at Pan and others with reproach and blame in his eyes.
severe.
Lu Yan was a little embarrassed. Pan and Dou'er both lowered their heads and said nothing. Lin Jinrong was so anxious that he was sweating. He regretted that he should not have left Yilang and went out: "Hurry up and ask the doctor to come and take a look."
Lu Jin murmured: "No..." But when Lu Jin returned home, Yi Lang had just woken up and was lying in the cradle asking for someone to hold him. Lu Jin had a sudden idea and asked Yi Lang to reach out and hug him. Yi Lang didn't know anything.
Knowing that he wanted to get up, the annoying person in front of him ignored him and made things difficult for him, so he started to snort. Pan and Dou'er both wanted to go up and hug him, but Lu Mian refused and continued to tease him, thus stirring up a hornet's nest.
It was just a matter of poking a hornet's nest. He insisted on not letting Dou'er and Pan do it, and had to coax them to behave themselves.
Lin Jinrong knew the reason and was speechless. He concentrated on coaxing Yilang. Finally, Yilang was tired of crying. He found a familiar embrace, smelled a familiar smell, sobbed and fell asleep. In his sleep, he would pout in grievance from time to time. Lin Jinrong
I couldn't help but sigh: "This kid has such a temper." Normally he is fine, but when he is really angered, he has an unforgiving temper.
Lu Yan put on a flattering smile: "Where are you going? You wouldn't be like this at home."
Lin Jinrong rolled her eyes at him: "So, is it my fault for making the child cry?"
Lu Mian was a little embarrassed, so he looked around and said, "You can't spoil a boy."
Lin Jinrong said sarcastically: "Yes, it's better to pull the seedlings and encourage them to grow. One day, I will ask the third aunt if you will reach out for someone to hug you in two months."
Lu Yan's face became redder and redder. Pan and the others held back their laughter and gently carried Yi Lang out. Lin Jinrong took the handkerchief handed over by Tao Tao, wiped the fine sweat from his face, and whispered: "
I met Mei Baoqing. He took his daughter with him and bought half of the things in my shop. He gave me not money, but silver, and asked his daughter to call me aunt. He told me that Shibo Division, I
I didn't dare to talk to him. Tell me, what exactly does he want to do?"
Lu Yan held his chin and thought for a long time, then said, "Could it be that he has actually intervened in the business in Huating County? What do we need to do for him?" His status is nothing more than that the family has a little more money, but
He's not a wealthy man, and he doesn't seem to be the one that someone like Mei Baoqing should try his best to make friends with. It seems that he is more likely to be exploited.
Lin Jinrong said: "I think so too. At least he has plans. I always feel uneasy."
Lu Yan was silent for a moment and said: "Let's all be careful. You write a letter to Third Brother, and I will go and inquire about it. Maybe I can find some clues."
