Lin Yuzhen did not attend the family dinner to greet Lu Jin that day, and no one asked about her. After the meeting, Lu Jianli and Tu took advantage of the opportunity and asked Lu Jin to inquire about Yi Lang in detail. Tu scolded her.
Lin Yuzhen: “Cruel-hearted
The vicious woman, even if she doesn’t love you, was born by her biological niece, how could she have thought of it! She deserves it. According to me, the old man should give her a good punishment and just let her go gently.
It’s really unconvincing.”
Lu Yan frowned slightly and interrupted her: "How is your sixth brother now?"
Lu Jianli hurriedly winked at Mrs. Tu and signaled her to stop talking nonsense. Mrs. Tu was angry in her heart, but she could only say with a smile: "Fortunately, I am more popular with you than your third brother."
Lu Yan felt relieved and said seriously: "We should encourage him to endure hardship and stand hard work so that he can study hard."
Lu Jianli nodded repeatedly: "Erlang is right, he is right."
Lu Yan saw that he was like a chicken pecking at rice. Not to mention his biological father, even his biological uncle's attitude was not the slightest. He felt very sad. He couldn't find anything to say for a while. He only said: "As long as the sixth brother can make a difference, I will rest assured."
Already."
Lu Jianli and Tu fell silent. Lu Mian and the two of them had a rest face to face. They had nothing more to say and could only end in embarrassment. They got up the next day, visited Mr. Lu early in the morning, and then went to the Lin Mansion.
Once, I went to find Lin Shiquan. According to Lin Jinrong's wishes, I asked Lin Shiquan to go to Beijing with him without mentioning it.
At the end of July, although the weather was getting cooler, it was actually still very hot at noon. The early varieties of chrysanthemums in the east courtyard were already in bloom, and the grapes in the main courtyard were ripe again, hanging heavily on the branches.
Yilang has learned to turn over and doesn't cry easily. He often cries and talks non-stop and behaves very lively and energetic. Lin Jinrong loves him very much. As long as the weather is good, he will hold him in his arms and bask in the sun in the yard and walk around when he is free.
, pointed out the flowers, plants and insects to him, and talked to him, Yilang answered her in his own way. The big one and the small one communicated in a confused manner, but it was very lively and fun for others to watch.
Mrs. Pan whispered to Aunt Sha: "Mommy, grandma is so patient. She seems to understand what the young master is saying, and she also believes that the young master can understand what she is saying. It's really fun."
Aunt Sha smiled and glanced at Lin Jinrong and her son. She squinted her eyes and continued to work on her sewing. Dou'er came over to see that what she was making was an azure-colored five-blessing longevity vamp, so she knew that it was for Mrs. Lu.
, because he smiled and said: "Mommy, look carefully, you are so tired, how about I do it for you?"
Aunt Sha shook her head: "There's no rush, I'll do it slowly, as long as I can bring it back before the Chinese New Year." Then she sighed softly, with a rather lonely tone. Her family and acquaintances are all in Pingzhou.
It's so lonely here.
Lin Jinrong heard clearly, turned around and said with a smile: "Mom, how about you go back with me this fall?"
Aunt Sha was slightly surprised. She thought Lu Mian had rushed back. If it weren't for an accident, Lin Jinrong probably wouldn't have taken Yi Lang back alone. Looking at Lin Jinrong's behavior, it seemed like it was a joke, so she followed Lin Jinrong's wishes.
He said: "That's good. Wherever grandma goes, the old slave will follow."
Lin Jinrong smiled and turned around. It was time to pack his luggage. When Lin Shiquan arrived, he would handle everything that needed to be done.
"Grandma, there is a guest outside." Lu Liang's family came in with a basket of walnuts that had only faded green skin, and said with a smile: "This is a souvenir from the guest."
"It's something fresh. Who is it?" Lin Jinrong rarely goes out recently. Except for the occasional trip to the shop, she went out to drink tea and talk at the invitation of Zhang Shanniang and others. She basically never went out, and the social activities were naturally not as good as those of Lu Yan.
There are so many seasons at home.
Lu Liang's family gestured: "She is a young lady in plain clothes, probably only about ten years old, with a teenage girl and an old woman, sitting in a one-ox carriage. She said her surname is Mei
, although the person is plain, the slave’s bearing and appearance are good.”
Lin Jinrong was slightly startled. After all, she had come to her door. A girl named Mei, a teenage girl, went out to visit alone. Who else could she be besides Mei Baoqing's Hui Niang? If Mei Baoqing came, she could recommend her.
They said that Lu Yan was not here but she couldn't miss her when she came, so she had no choice but to say: "Please come in."
Mei Huiniang looked around indifferently as she walked along. When she walked into the main courtyard and saw the shelves full of grapes, her eyes changed. There was a bunch of grapes hanging less than an inch from her head.
Her breasts are plump and covered with a layer of white milk mist. She is so in love, she just wants to
You can touch it with a slight raise of your hand. I wonder how delicious it is? Saliva naturally secretes from her mouth, and the greedy food in her stomach keeps crawling. She almost stretched out her hand, but then retracted it, trying her best to eat it.
His small body was straight and he walked forward solemnly and dignifiedly.
Lin Jinrong stood in the courtyard and looked at her and smiled: "Mother Hui, why are you free today?"
"Hui Niang sends her greetings to Auntie." Mei Huiniang showed a faint smile on her face, and she was filled with happiness: "Thanks to Auntie for taking care of me that day, I wanted to come to say thank you very early in the morning, but I have something to do at home, so I have to postpone it until now. I hope Auntie doesn't want to
You think I'm abrupt."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly supported her and motioned for her to sit down next to him: "Come and sit. Just come and play. What gifts should I bring?"
Mei Huiniang thanked her and said with a smile: "It's a small gift, but I can't give it away, but it's rare and fresh, and it's a rare black-flesh walnut, which is very fragrant. So I brought it here to my aunt, and my little brother can try it. My aunt has always been a good person.
Is your little brother still good?"
Today, she is completely different from the sad and naughty person she was when she was in front of Mei Baoqing. Instead, she is a sensible little lady, with maturity and stability that children of the same age do not have. Lin Jinrong looked at her little adult appearance and remembered that Mei Baoqing said that he often
Not at home, the girl lost her mother again. Wei Wei felt pity and asked Pan to take Yilang out to show her.
Mei Huiniang looked at Yilang intently, took off a small gold bracelet with a golden bell from her wrist, and put it on Yilang's wrist: "My little brother is really lucky. Let me call him brother."
, but it is a high-profile one, but since we have already met, I will give it to him as a meeting gift. I have worn it since I was a child, and I will no longer be able to wear it anymore, so it is just right for him."
Lin Jinrong didn't want it at first. When she heard the word "high climb", she swallowed the words that were on the verge of her mouth. She winked at Dou'er and ordered Yingying: "Go and cut a few bunches of ripe grapes, wash them and bring them over."
.”
Cherry responded, took the basket and scissors, and went to pick grapes happily. Mei Huiniang looked up, her eyes full of envy. She was a little girl after all, and she was probably detained at home. Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "I grew this one by myself."
The grapes here are fresher, sweeter and cleaner than those outside. If Madam Hui doesn't mind, how about you come over and pick some to take back?"
Mei Huiniang's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Jinrong tentatively. When she saw her smiling at her, her eyes soft, and she didn't seem to be telling lies, she was encouraged and eager to try: "Okay!" Before she finished speaking, the person who was following her appeared.
The old grandma coughed lowly, and Mei Huiniang's eyes suddenly changed, taking on a tone of seven parts resentment and one part shame.
Lin Jinrong originally thought that she would not pick grapes, but her expression suddenly changed. She looked at the old woman provocatively from the corner of her eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you, aunt, for helping me. I was so greedy when I saw it when I came in early in the morning.
"As he said that, he stood up and took the scissors handed to him by Shuangfu, and asked Lin Jinrong coquettishly: "Auntie, please teach me what is ripe?"
The old woman's face was ashen and stern, but she couldn't stop her because it was in Lin Jinrong's face. Lin Jinrong pretended not to have seen her, and brought Mei Huiniang forward with a smile, pointing out the ripe grapes.
Show her how Mei Huiniang is a child and wants to cut off her hair after she has cut it off. When the old lady saw that she cut more than ten strings in a row and still didn't want to stop, she couldn't help but reminded her: "Girl!"
There was already a threat in her tone. Mei Huiniang raised her eyebrows, then fell silent again, put down the scissors angrily, and said: "Aunt, I cut too much on a whim, won't you blame me for being rude?"
Lin Jinrong smiled: "The grapes in my yard produce a lot every year, and I'm worried that I can't find anyone to eat them. You can take away as many as you want. I can't ask for more."
Mei Huiniang looked at her once, tilted her head and smiled sincerely. After sitting for about half an hour, the old woman coughed again, and Mei Huiniang stood up reluctantly: "I've been bothering my aunt for too long.
, I should go back."
Lin Jinrong asked her to stay, but she just lowered her eyes and refused, and said softly: "I hope my aunt is willing to receive me next time I come back."
Lin Jinrong sighed and took a pair of rice beads from Dou'er's hand: "The last time we met was too hasty, so I didn't bring anything suitable as a meeting gift for you. I made this by myself in my free time.
, although it’s not valuable, it’s still interesting, so don’t dislike it, Madam Hui.”
Mei Huiniang looked up and saw that the hanging ornament was originally made by Lin Jinrong for Lin Liuer in her spare time. The rice beads were carefully strung into small white rabbits, with delicate colorful tassels. It was cute and delicate, just like her
Girls of this age love it the most. I liked it first. As I went to pick it up, I said, "Why are you so embarrassed?"
The old grandma coughed again, Mei Huiniang didn't move her eyebrows and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell, grandma?"
The old woman lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. I am very good."
Mei Huiniang stopped paying attention to her, thanked Lin Jinrong seriously, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I will come to you to share tea with you next time, okay?" There was a bit of pleading in her black and white eyes.
This child must have had a difficult life after losing his mother. Lin Jinrong couldn't say no to her eyes: "As long as the elders in your family agree, you can come."
Mei Huiniang went away happily.
Grandma Sha said: "This family is really weird, letting such a young child come alone as a guest."
Lin Jinrong took off the small gold bracelet on Yi Lang's wrist and took a closer look. It was pure gold, fine workmanship, and something from the Tang Family Gold and Silver Shop. Of course, Mei Huiniang, a child, would not come to a stranger's house for no apparent reason as a guest.
, clearly what Mei Baoqing meant. Mei Baoqing planned for him to come out to interact with Lu Mian, and here, his ten-year-old daughter would replace his dead wife and interact with her. It seemed that he really wanted to make friends.
Look.
