Lu Jianxin angrily threw a letter on the table and said angrily: "Why don't you kill these corrupt officials! They ask for money at every turn, and they can't do anything if they don't have enough. They form gangs and form cliques for personal gain. It's really abominable."
Extremely good!" Now he finally found a way and got online, but the cost was too much. Asking for help with a shy face didn't count, and he also had to pay for his family's money, so he started to blame Mei Baoqing again: "If you don't have that diamond, don't buy that porcelain.
Those who work opportunistically deserve misfortune!"
Lin Yuzhen listened to his complaints for a long time and had to comfort him: "If it really doesn't work, I can go anywhere. I will just follow you."
How could Lu Jianxin be willing to do so?! What he was thinking about was going to a higher level. How many people in the court were still reluctant to serve in office when they were in their seventies? He was still so young, only about fifty, so he still had more than twenty years to live in.
Well, who can tell clearly when he suddenly got lucky and prospered in the past twenty years? He immediately said irritably: "Women are short-sighted, what do they know? I have worked hard for half my life, is this all? Those who are not as good as me
People are just relying on their ability to lick."
He was irritable and angry, but Lin Yuzhen was not easy to deal with. She sneered and said: "I don't understand. You know best. You should come up with a charter. Being able to lick is also a skill."
Lu Jianxin glared at her, but after all he was not willing to start an argument with her.
Aunt He came up quietly, gave them both a cup of hot tea soup, and said softly: "I think it will be a bumper harvest this year, and selling new grain will free up a little more." Before she finished speaking, Lin Yuzhen was stopped by Lin Yuzhen.
He glared fiercely, put away the tea tray, stood with his head bowed, not daring to say anything more.
"How much money can you make from that little grain? Sanfang has been selling grain, but he didn't get rich just because of it. Besides, when will the harvest come?" The most profitable season for grain is this year.
In the spring, although Lu Jianxin secretly instructed Zhu Jianfu to sell grain, he did not dare to sell too much, for fear that there would be another bad harvest this year, or something terrible would happen, so he had to keep some to keep the bottom of the warehouse. But one-third
Er's grain was indeed sold, but he really didn't make much money - at least it was far from what he expected.
If he really had to spend his family's money to do this, it wasn't impossible, but he and Lin Yuzhen were both old, their funeral arrangements hadn't been settled, and they didn't have any money to defend themselves. How could it be done? Lu Jianxin's eyes were heavy and he stared at them fiercely.
That letter made him want to drag out the person who wrote the letter to ask for a bribe and beat him up to relieve his anger.
I heard the soft sound of footsteps under the curtain, and a little girl whispered greetings: "Greetings to the second master, second grandma, and fourth young master." Someone else reported: "Master, madam, second master, second grandma, and fourth young master are here to say hello.
.”
Lin Yuzhen's expression suddenly became lively: "Quick, let them in." The curtain was lifted, and Yi Lang walked in with a smile holding Lin Jinrong's hand. He asked for greetings before daring to lean into Lin Yuzhen's arms. Then he shouted softly.
Calling her "grandmother", Lin Yuzhen was too lazy to care about other things. She just held Yilang in her arms and asked people to bring him various candies.
When Lu Jianxin saw Yi Lang, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked Lin Jinrong up and down, then looked away without any trace, making a gloomy and extremely depressed look.
Lu Mian could tell at a glance that Lu Jianxin was in a bad mood. He looked at the letter on the table next to him and understood everything. He then winked at Lin Jinrong and told her to go and do her own thing. He would take care of everything else.
Lin Jinrong then silently found Aunt Fang and arranged to put away dinner together.
Lu Yan first told Lu Jianxin what was going on outside: "This year will definitely be a good harvest, and the business in the shop is gradually improving... The sixth brother will be entering the market soon, and I plan to leave for Taiming Mansion the day after tomorrow.
He feels at ease, if he can get the honors, his family will have another helper in the future."
Lu Jianxin took a slow sip of tea and warned: "Your third uncle is ill, and Liu Lang's affairs should be your concern as the elder brother. If you go, you should pack up early. You should teach what you need to teach and move around when you need to.
If you want to move around, don't forget to go to your great-aunt's house to say thank you. Don't be shy about the courtesy."
Lu Yan agreed, and was about to take the opportunity to talk about Mei Baoqing's affairs when he heard Lu Jianxin say calmly: "I heard that someone stole food from the fields recently?"
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and said: "There is such a thing. But it's not a big deal. It's just that a few little kids are hungry and ignorant. They have been handed over to their adults to discipline them strictly and they will never do it again, so the son dare not
Use it to annoy father."
Lu Jianxin sneered: "I know you are as well-intentioned as your wife, but stealing is stealing! Robbery is robbery! Everyone has their own difficulties, and no one is sensible, so what are you using the law for? Do you know why there is chaos?
It’s because of good people like you! Look at what Yu Zongsheng did, who dares to mess up now!"
Lu Yan whispered: "To tell you what my father is saying, according to the past family customs, if you encounter someone stealing crops from the field, you just ask the steward to patrol the field strictly and scare the person away." In the words of Mr. Lu,
You don’t have to make mortal enemies with people just for a few grains of food. Even if you really want to make money, you have to keep people alive to make money, right?
When Lu Jianxin heard these words, Lu Yan didn't care about him. He used the dead old Mr. Lu to pressure him, and he couldn't help but get angry: "Do you think I'm harsh?"
Ever since he wanted to take Yi Lang away and the two of them faced each other, he had had this attitude towards Lu Yan, always wanting to find fault with him. Lu Yan knew it in his heart, thinking that he was going to Taiming Mansion soon.
I didn't want to provoke him at this time, nor did I want to persuade him. I just said: "Father, calm down, you are thinking too much."
Lu Jianxin snorted coldly, put the tea cup heavily on the table, and said, "What else do you want to say just now?"
Lu Yan told the story about Mei Baoqing, and in order to take care of his emotions, he deliberately said it more pleasantly: "The dust has finally settled, and father no longer has to worry about involving the family."
"Why is he not dead?" It was a good thing that Lu Mian didn't mention this, but Lu Jianxin's mood was even worse when he mentioned it. He pointed at the letter and said: "Look! I have been plotting against my father and son these days.
The result is something like this! What kind of people are these! They are corrupt, bend the law, and work like a fool, so shameless!"
Lu Yan took the letter and read it carefully. He knew something in his mind. He put the envelope back silently and whispered: "Father, actually, my son has nothing here. When he returns to Beijing, they will have to find a place for his son no matter what."
.My son is young and it is a blessing to stay in Beijing. He does not expect to suddenly get a good position. Therefore, fathers should not worry about their sons and do not get angry with them. It is not worth it."
Lu Jianxin glanced at him sadly, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't, so he just lowered his head and kept drinking tea.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but laugh secretly while listening. She was sure that Lu Yan was pretending to be stupid. Lu Jianxin used this reason to openly take away her dowry. He didn't ask for it directly, but asked the female relatives at home to do so.
They took turns to fight, including the Song family, as if if she refused to give, she would be unfilial, selfish, and cold-blooded. It turned out that it was not her who was cold-blooded, but them, and they had squeezed them dry
The last bit of her usefulness was left there to fend for herself.
At that time, not only did Lu Yan stay at home to take care of the general affairs, but he stayed with her to solve her problems without even being seen. She never expected to be in this situation! Thinking of this, Lin Jinrong's eyes couldn't help but sore.
She quietly looked at Lu Yan, and happened to see Lu Yan looking towards her and giving her a don't worry look. Lin Jinrong then withdrew his gaze and continued to work quietly.
Lu Jianxin's eyes swept over Lin Jinrong several times, then fell on Yi Lang, withdrew from Yi Lang, and then fell on Lu Mian. In the end, he did not mention the matter again and ate quietly, which was rare.
Di showed a gentle and doting smile to Yi Lang: "Yi Lang, do you want to play in the yard with your grandfather?"
Yilang was taken aback, then shook his head without hesitation: "I won't go." As he said that, he squeezed into Lin Yuzhen's arms. He was very smart. Based on long-term observation, he knew that he could directly confront Lu Jianxin at this time.
It was Lin Yuzhen who was yelling and confronting, not his parents.
Lu Jianxin was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Grandma is also going. Let's go to your great-grandmother's place to visit her. This is a filial piety, so we have to go."
Yilang lowered his head and said nothing. Lu Yan said: "Yilang, grandpa cannot be so unruly when talking to you." Then he went to lead Yilang: "In that case, let's go there together."
Lu Jianxin waved his hand: "Aren't you going to Taiming Mansion? Let's go with your wife to visit your third uncle and third aunt and see what they have to say to you. They must also miss your sixth brother.
Be tight."
Seeing that he was determined to show affection to Yi Lang, Lin Jinrong winked at Dou'er and Pan, and said in a deep voice: "Haosheng is waiting for you." She didn't need to say more, Dou'er and Pan both understood.
Realizing what she meant, he gathered his energy and followed her closely without mentioning anything. Only then did Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian go to visit Lu Jianli and Tu.
Compared with the liveliness in Lu Jianxin and Lin Yuzhen's room, the room of Lu Jianxin and Tu's was much more desolate, with a strong smell of medicine everywhere. Lu Jianxin was standing on his back, eating his meal without a bite, and Tu's face was worried.
Tu was a little angry and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Jianshe narrowed his extremely ugly eyes and looked at her indifferently. Tu lost his temper and said angrily: "What do you want to eat? I'll have someone cook it for you." Then he complained, "You obviously know that
When you are so sick, what kind of filial piety should you keep? At least you can let people eat something that will nourish you." As he said this, he wiped away tears, "What if you call me and Rokuro if you have someone who is both good and bad?"
Lu Yan stood in front of the door and watched everything. His steps were so heavy that he could not take another step. Lin Jinrong hurriedly ordered Yingying to hand the medicinal materials to Tu's girl to take them down, and said with a smile: "Third Aunt, I don't want to say such depressing words.
