Everyone saluted and said hello, Aunt He stood up and looked at Lu Jianxin lovingly: "To tell you what I'm saying, my second grandma misunderstood."
Lu Jianxin gave Lin Jinrong a stern look. Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and waited to see what Aunt He would do.
Aunt He spoke clearly: "The maids and concubines came to see my wife, because they saw that they were asking for a doctor to give medicine, and they were all busy. They were afraid of disturbing the wife's purity, so they didn't let the news pass, so they waited outside for news. Second Mistress
When I came out, I mistakenly thought that the girls were being treated lightly, so..." She smiled charmingly and said, "It's all because of the poor thinking."
Lu Jianxin nodded and said with a straight face: "It's just a misunderstanding. It's a big deal to quarrel with my wife. Please step aside."
Aunt He's face showed just the right amount of tenderness, and she knelt down and saluted: "Yes." Then she pleaded with Lin Jinrong: "Second Grandma, please spare this little girl, it's my fault."
"My aunt is a philanthropic person." Lin Jinrong smiled and looked at the little girl: "But she didn't fulfill her duties. She was derelict in her duties. Even if she didn't communicate, she should have led the three aunts to a side room to sit and warm themselves over the fire.
Tea, it’s such a cold weather, so those who deserve to be punished must be punished. Take it with you and see if you should be fined money or something." This can be regarded as a warning to others.
Aunt Fang responded solemnly: "Yes." Someone took the little girl down and found another opportunity to scold everyone in the room without mentioning anything.
Aunt He's expression remained unchanged, and she went away with Ah Rou and Xiao Xing in a peaceful manner.
Lu Jianxin glanced at Aunt He's graceful back, turned around and asked Lin Jinrong seriously: "Your mother-in-law is ill, and it's up to you to take charge of the affairs in the inner courtyard. Don't make fun of others."
"Yes. My daughter-in-law will keep this in mind." Lin Jinrong always abided by etiquette towards Lu Jianxin and could not find any faults.
Lu Jianxin looked at her deeply, turned around and walked into the house: "How is your mother-in-law doing? I wanted to come here earlier, but she was pestered over there."
Lin Jinrong said: "My elbows and knees are bruised and swollen, but the most important thing is that I twisted my waist. The doctor said I need to rest for a while." She originally thought about Yilang and wanted to go back quickly, but saw that Lu Jianxin did not
He wanted to let her go, so he had no choice but to follow Lu Yan into the house again.
Lu Jianxin warned: "You still have errands with the old lady. From tomorrow on, several aunts will come over to serve your mother-in-law. You should still rely on the old lady's errands."
Lin Jinrong agreed again, and Lu Jianxin walked to the curtain and paused: "Your second uncle and the others are coming over later."
Lin Jinrong said "Oh" and ordered everyone to prepare tea fruits.
The girl had already opened the curtain, and Lu Jianxin walked in, only to see Lin Yuzhen half leaning on the couch, her face half hidden in the shadow of the lamp, looking at him sadly, her eyes dead silent, without any unnecessary expression.
Lu Jianxin's heart trembled, then he smiled again and said gently: "Madam, are you feeling better? I thought you fell asleep after drinking medicine."
Lin Yuzhen said: "I can't die. I woke up when I heard the noise outside."
Lu Jianxin frowned, but Lin Jinrong jumped in and said, "It's all because I didn't think carefully and disturbed my aunt's purity."
Lin Yuzhen looked at her and said nothing.
Lu Yan stepped forward and asked her in a low voice: "Is mother feeling better?"
Lin Yuzhen nodded: "It's been a hard day, sit down."
Lu Jianxin took the tea handed over by Lin Jinrong, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "You have been wronged. The second brother and the others will come over to apologize to you right away. Starting tomorrow, the second brother and sister said that she will serve you."
The words were spoken to Lin Yuzhen's temper. What Lin Yuzhen loves is to be able to step on the second wife and make Mrs. Song bow her head in front of her. She must be very happy.
Lin Yuzhen did feel a little more energetic, but the light only flickered in her eyes and then dimmed again: "I'm afraid she will die quickly if she serves me."
Lu Jianxin said: "Nonsense! Who allowed you to talk about death?"
Lin Yuzhen raised the corners of her lips, full of sarcasm.
Lu Jianxin lowered his head, turned the tea cup in his hand and stopped talking.
Lin Jinrong felt uncomfortable and secretly looked at Lu Yan. Lu Yan looked at her nose and heart with an expressionless face. He sat there upright. When he noticed her gaze, he also looked at her with his eyes lowered. The two of them
Their eyes met, then parted again knowingly.
There was a soft sound from the courtyard door, and Granny Fang opened the curtain and came in: "Master, Madam, the second master and the others are here to visit the eldest wife."
Although the other party is the loser, they will have to live under the same roof for a long time in the future, and they still have to do what they should to save face. What's more, they just got back so much property from the second house, so they can't do anything too cruel.
Lu Jianxin took Lu Yan out to greet the guests, while Lin Jinrong and Aunt Fang helped Lin Yuzhen up, tidied her hair and tidied her clothes, and then helped her lie back down.
For a moment, Lu Jianzhong was heard saying through the curtain: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling better?"
Lin Yuzhen frowned slightly and said without saving any face: "It's not okay."
There was silence outside. Even through the curtain, Lin Jinrong could feel the second room's embarrassment and unwillingness, but she also knew that it was impossible to prevent Lin Yuzhen from saying this.
Mrs. Song held her breath and said, "Sister-in-law, I did something wrong. I will apologize to you."
Lin Yuzhen said: "What's the apology? Just remember to be merciful next time and don't kill me." But she took out her anger on the second wife, not to mention that she already had a deep resentment towards Lu Jianzhong and his wife.
Lu Jianxin sighed: "Azhen, how can a family be like this? You are the eldest sister-in-law, so be generous."
Lin Yuzhen said angrily: "Remember that I am the eldest sister-in-law at this time? When the master and Erlang were not at home, they bullied my mother who was lonely and helpless. She almost slapped me because of her strength and strength in numbers.
Come on! How dare you beat me until I fall asleep at home, sister-in-law? What a joke!"
Lu Jianxin stopped talking. The second wife should pay Lin Yuzhen this gift, and it must be done properly. It cannot be ignored.
Lu Jianzhong said bitterly: "That was my fault. I'm sorry for my sister-in-law. My second nephew and daughter-in-law, please advise your mother-in-law for me..."
Mrs. Song said: "I will stay and serve my sister-in-law from today on. I will not leave until my sister-in-law is well and is no longer angry with me."
For this reason, Lin Jinrong had to persuade her. Lin Yuzhen snorted and said coldly: "I don't dare to do any work. I have a daughter-in-law to take care of me. The second wife should go and do important things, lest it gets spread and people say it."
I use my power to bully others, and I don't show mercy to others. If I miss my father-in-law's funeral, wouldn't I be extremely unfilial?"
"Look, where did it go? Such a temper." Lu Jianxin sighed twice outside and said: "Okay, everyone, sit down. The misunderstanding has been resolved, we are still brothers who have broken bones and connected tendons.
My family and my wife, come and offer tea and fruit!"
Lin Jinrong went out to serve tea and fruits, and then introduced the female dependents of the second bedroom into the inner room. Because Lin Yuzhen was impatient to pay attention to the female dependents of the second bedroom, everyone just sat and listened to Lu Jianxin and Lu Jianzhong talking nonsense outside.
Kang lowered his head, his whole body hidden in the shadows. Lin Jinrong knew that she felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't comfort her at this moment. He could only gently pull her sleeves with his hand. Kang looked back at her,
The circles under her eyes turned red instantly. Lin Jinrong was afraid that she would start crying, so she quickly retracted her hand in fear. Kang lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then swallowed back his tears.
After just a cup of tea, Lu Jianzhong and Lu Jianxin had become harmonious. They talked about each other all over the world, and Lu Jianxin mentioned Mei Baoqing faintly: "I heard what you said earlier about Mei Baoqing, this is a
Who is he? How could you have anything to do with him? With so much money, be careful of being deceived!"
Lu Jianzhong understood what he meant, and he changed his tone to please: "Brother, this man is very powerful. He is from the capital, a famous businessman, and the best businessman. He has always done business with our family. My second nephew
My second nephew, my wife, and I all know his background, and we can’t be deceived no matter how hard we try. Speaking of which, I can’t raise that much money now about the fleet thing I mentioned earlier, so I’ll leave it to others.
It's such a pity for me. Do you want me to thread the thread for you? It's just dead money and not worth it."
Lu Jianxin said calmly: "Forget it. Officials don't compete with the people for profit. Most of what my father left me were farmsteads, and the shops were no more than that. That's enough."
What kind of official doesn't compete with the people for profit? Who would think that there is too much money? If you really don't want to do it, why do you remember this? It's obvious that you are tempted, hypocritical. Lu Jian was scornful in his heart, but he smiled on his face: "
Brother, if you don’t put it this way, from the current prime minister to the junior staff, who can earn a little more? This is not a corruption and plundering anyone, it is a legitimate business. Just think of it as a way to relax your sister-in-law and earn some rouge.
Is it money for gouache?”
Lu Jianxin said calmly: "We'll talk about it in the future. I just care about you."
Lin Jinrong listened to them talking about Mei Baoqing's formation of a fleet inside, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart and fell into deep thought.
Not long after, Lu Jianzhong stood up to say goodbye. Song made another pretense to show her attitude. Lin Yuzhen turned her back and ignored her. Lu Jianxin pretended to say a few words to Lin Yuzhen, took Lu Mian with him, and Lin Jinrong sent everyone in the second room out.
Turning around, Lu Jianxin looked at Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian and said, "We are all tired. You go back first."
Lin Jinrong felt that there was a certain light shining in his eyes, and she vaguely understood what was going on. She only gently bowed her knees and bowed, then left with Lu Mian.
After the young couple left, Lu Jianxin sat down next to Lin Yuzhen's couch, took her hand and held it in his, saying, "Does it still hurt?"
Lin Yuzhen looked at him: "What do you think?"
Lu Jianxin sighed: "Look at you, you are so old and you still have such a childish temper. By the way, I told my wife that she is still doing errands for the old lady, so she should be treated as the old lady.
That's right, from tomorrow onwards, let Aunt He and the others come over to serve you."
Lin Yuzhen was about to say that she was impatient, but she changed her words and said, "Are you willing? Aren't you afraid that I will torment them?"
Lu Jianxin lowered his eyes: "If they don't serve well, they should be punished."
Lin Yuzhen remained silent.
Lu Jianxin added: "Have you ever heard of the fact that Mei Baoqing formed a fleet and Erlang's wife became a shareholder?"
