Lin Yuzhen was also surprised when she heard Lu Jianxin talk about this: "I've never heard of it, what's the matter?"
Sure enough, I didn’t know! Lu Jianxin immediately became unhappy: "How could I not inform my elders about such a big matter? Although the dowry is hers, according to the second brother, if so much is used, why should I discuss it with my elders?
Just for a moment. She was so silent and so assertive." Then he told Lin Yuzhen what Lu Jianzhong told him.
Lin Yuzhen also felt that if Lin Jinrong really spent so much money to participate in stocks and never mentioned it to herself, it would be a bit too much. But she was not happy that Lu Jianxin said something bad about her niece, so she said: "
Do you believe what the second brother says? Eight out of ten words he says are lies."
Lu Jianxin understood what she meant as soon as he saw her expression. Lin Yuzhen has such a temperament. She can say why the Lin family is bad, but she won't be happy if others say it. So he said softly: "I don't just believe it.
As for the second son, I just feel that he will not tell lies about this kind of thing. After all, if it is true or false, just ask Erlang and his wife. I just heard that Erlang's wife has very good ideas.
, I never want to talk to my elders about these things. If I want to open a shop, I will open it. If I want to buy land, I will buy it. Isn’t that right?”
Lin Yuzhen's face brightened: "She was very capable when she was in her mother's family. If it weren't for her, my third brother and third sister-in-law would not be as leisurely and comfortable as they are now. The old man was attracted to her at the beginning, but her temperament is still very demure.
Don’t cause trouble.”
Lu Jianxin secretly thought, Lin Jinrong is very powerful. People like this are doing things behind their backs. How much do you know? But he didn't say it out loud. He just said: "My daughter-in-law is sensible and capable, and the family is much more relaxed. She is not like my eldest nephew."
A daughter-in-law like that is bad and unpleasant. But since she has become my daughter-in-law, she must put her husband's family first, not to mention making decisions for her. Isn't it difficult to inform her? Otherwise, what did she do outside?
We don’t know anything, and we have to bear it in the end. Isn’t this the truth?”
Lin Yuzhen said: "Then I will ask her tomorrow."
Lu Jianxin's goal was achieved, he held his chin and said: "If it's true, no matter what the opportunity is, you can invest it and have fun. Today, the second child spit out a lot of money. Let's just let it go. Dead money will become living money."
, Xiaoman will be able to find a better position in the future if he seeks a job."
Lin Yuzhen looked at him sideways: "Me?"
Lu Jianxin said: "Of course it's you! Will I give it to someone else? This is our home, and we will be buried together in the future. After I finish my mourning, I found another job, and we took my mother with us.
Take office."
Lin Yuzhen's eyes were slightly moist, and she turned her head and said, "I thought you had forgotten your original oath a long time ago."
Under the light, her once bright and clear eyes were no longer as innocent and charming as before, and there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Due to years of unhappiness, the corners of her lips were slightly drooped, and the flesh on her cheeks was also flabby. They are all old, Lu
Jianxin sighed, touched Lin Yuzhen's temple hair, and then touched his own hair mixed with gray hair: "You, a young couple always come to keep company. We, young people, have been married for decades, and we have gone through good and bad times together.
Yes, how can they compare with you? They are just two more people to serve you and me, don’t think too much, just go to sleep." He stabilized himself and said: "Don't worry, they will never dare to disrespect you in the future!"
Lin Yuzhen lowered her eyes and turned over. They were just wives now. She was no longer young. She could no longer attract his eyes to linger on her. She had nothing to rely on and could not make him have any scruples. He could
What he gave her was not what she wanted most. Of course, she couldn't give him what he wanted most.
The night is as cool as water and the moonlight is like veil.
Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan sent away the accompanying maid and walked side by side in the yard. The moonlight cast their shadows on the bluestone path. You pressed me and I pressed you. Lu Yan lowered his eyes and looked at that
The two separated and rejoined, overlapping shadows, smiled softly, and held Lin Jinrong's hand without saying anything. Lin Jinrong already understood what he meant, held it back, and moved closer to him as much as possible.
Under the moonlight, Lin Jinrong's eyebrows were warm and pleasant. Lu Yan felt the warmth and fragrance coming from around him, and couldn't help but want to hold her waist and hug her hard. He thought so, so he did so, and said seriously: "I
It seems like you have lost weight recently."
Lin Jinrong pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard and whispered: "You are the one who lost weight, you don't know how to eat more."
Lu Yan was afraid of being seen by others, so he hugged her hard and quickly let go, with a bit of sadness: "It's quite lonely for me to live alone. It's good for you, you can sleep with Yilang in your arms every day."
Although they cannot share the same room, the feeling of being far apart and unable to hear or know each other is completely different from living under the same roof and being able to hear each other's voices at any time.
Lin Jinrong smiled sweetly: "If you are jealous and you are not afraid that Yilang will cry for his mother at night, I can let Yilang sleep with you at night. Just bring it to me at dawn."
Lu Yan couldn't imagine the scene where Yilang would cry for his mother at night, but he couldn't coax her, and then knock on the door of Rongjing's house in the middle of the night. So he thanked Bu Min and said, "I'm not afraid of trouble, but I'm afraid of wronging the child."
If fate is like this, such a situation will definitely happen in the next few years. No matter how coaxed he is, no matter how wronged Yilang is, he will have to bear it. Lin Jinrong sighed quietly and whispered: "There is no place in this world where there will be no misfortune."
Being wronged? Being able to be wronged and learning to be wronged is also a blessing. Being like Angkor, being accustomed to smooth sailing is not a good thing."
Lu Yan nodded: "Even so, he is still too young."
Lin Jinrong smiled and changed the subject: "When will Fan Bao leave?" Fan Bao has made a great contribution today, but he has also made a big enemy. If he doesn't leave quickly, he may not end well if he stays.
Lu Yan said: "I said overnight that I would move after I return. My father gave him fifty taels of silver, and I asked Changshou to take him to Wuyi Pier and then come back."
Fifty taels of silver. Lin Jinrong's heart trembled. After all, he got fifty taels of silver and was forced to leave his hometown. The only difference was that the second house was unlucky and the person who hit the wall was Lu Jianzhong. Well, something has finally changed. He smiled.
He smiled and said, "It's a pity. I was still thinking about clearing his grievances so that he could stay and take care of the shop for us or my third uncle and the others."
Lu Yan's heart moved slightly and he said with a smile: "Uncle Third, even if the shop's business fails, they can still live on those farms. They have few people and don't have much to spend, so it is enough. As for us, there is only one person left.
, Han Gen, the external steward my grandfather left for me, do you still remember this person?"
Lin Jinrong said: "Of course I remember, but he didn't take the initiative to visit me after I came back. I just thought he had other ideas."
Lu Yan smiled: "Last time, my grandfather was seriously ill, and I came back to visit him. I even had a drink with him, but he was cautious in not meeting you, so I just recommended him to my father. I heard my second uncle talking to my father several times today.
When I mentioned the matter of buying a stake in the Meibaoqing fleet, I guess my father was moved."
Lin Jinrong asked: "Did he ask you?" Lu Jianxin must have been tempted. The Lu family all fell for this back then. The so-called money-obsessed man cannot be persuaded.
Lu Yan said solemnly: "I didn't ask. If he is willing to ask me, I don't have to send him away. I will just walk on this path with you." There is always a layer between us, and other things don't matter, as long as money is involved.
It's a little different.
Lin Jinrong whispered: "Actually, you don't have to tell me, I felt that the way he looked at me was a little bit blaming. He probably blamed me for not telling my family about the benefits but keeping the benefits for myself. Although the third brother didn't listen to my advice and bought shares.
, but I feel bad about it myself, so how dare I tell others casually?"
Lu Yan usually didn't ask where her money went, but she said she didn't have it, so he took over her words and said: "You did the right thing. If you make a profit, it's fine. If you lose it, I'm afraid you will be blamed."
.We are different after all.”
When they were talking, they arrived in front of Rongjing Residence. Mrs. Lu was still awake. The two children, Lilang and Yilang, were having fun and crawling all over the bed. It was really lively. Lu Jing and Kang were also there, and they saw him coming in.
, Kang's family was fine, but Lu Jing's face was a bit unsightly. Lu Yan just pretended that he didn't know, and praised Lilang with Lin Jinrong. Several people accompanied the children and sat at Old Mrs. Lu's place until the old lady shouted
When they were tired, they each took their children back.
A night of silence.
The next day, Lin Jinrong went to Lin Yuzhen's place to say hello as usual. He saw Aunt He and the three of them had already gone there, busy inside and outside. Arou held the basin, and Aunt He twisted the handkerchief and was washing Lin Yuzhen's face.
Lu Jianxin, neatly dressed, sat aside, eating the tea brought by Xiaoxing, and watching his wife and concubines getting married, with a face full of contentment and pride.
Lin Yuzhen had a stern face and looked impatient. Aunt He was delicate and gentle. After washing her face, she combed Lin Yuzhen's hair. From time to time she asked softly: "Madam, how is it here? Madam, is it comfortable here?"
Seeing Lin Yuzhen's awkward face, Lin Jinrong knew that she wanted to show off as a doctor and didn't want Aunt He to touch her, so she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Is your wife feeling better?"
Lin Yuzhen tilted her head, and Aunt He was pulling her hair. Lin Yuzhen took a breath, half in pain, half in exaggeration, and said in disgust: "Don't you know how to handle your hair when you comb it? Ah Rong, come and comb it for me."
Aunt He was not angry either, and saluted with a smile: "Madam, please forgive me, I made a mistake."
Lin Yuzhen couldn't do anything about her temper, so she said impatiently: "Let's set the food."
Aunt He handed the comb to Lin Jinrong with a smile and went to prepare the meal without mentioning it.
Lin Yuzhen narrowed her eyes slightly, enjoying Lin Jinrong's service comfortably, and asked directly: "I heard that you also joined Mei Baoqing's fleet?"
Lin Jinrong said: "No."
Lin Yuzhen said: "Then why did your second uncle say that?"
"I wonder where he got the news from." Lin Jinrong glanced at Lu Jianxin from the corner of his eye, but saw Lu Jianxin sitting there calmly talking to Lu Mian: "Take some time and go and promise us to the clan."
The sacrificial fields here have been cleared. Then we will find a capable manager and start up the religious practice." It seemed as if he didn't listen to what they were saying at all.
Lu Yan took the opportunity to push Han Gen out. Lu Jianxin was not familiar with the management at home and didn't care about it: "Just do what you want." His face looked a little ugly and he winked at Lin Yuzhen.
, and turned his face away again.
