Guiyuan didn't notice Lin Jinrong's emotions at all, and only focused on his own happiness: "Young master Biao is really unlucky. There are so many roads on Qingliang Mountain, why did he choose to take that one, and why did the bridge collapse... Oh, listen,
People say that when Tie Erniu met the two of them, he almost died of longevity. But they are really lucky. If Tie Erniu didn't catch peach fish for you, no one would know that they were drowned.
, my aunt should not cry to death?" Her thoughts jumped very quickly, from Lu Yan's danger to the issue of Lu Yan's literary talent and fame: "Girl, I heard that Mr. Zhu praised Mr. Biao's articles and said that he would definitely pass the exam.
Up."
Lin Jinrong lowered her eyes to get dressed and wash up, but did not answer. Of course she knew that Lu Yan could pass the exam, and so could Wu Xiang, and Wu Xiang did better than Lu Yan.
Lychee came in with a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus soup. When she saw this, she hurriedly said: "Guiyuan, where did you put those winter jasmine shoe patterns? Why can't you find them? Sister Chun Ya came to ask earlier and wanted to borrow a pair to embroider."
As expected, Guiyuan stopped chattering and ran outside to look through the shoes.
Lin Jinrong sighed softly: "I'm finally clean."
Lychee handed the sweet-scented osmanthus soup into her hand and whispered: "Girl, what happened today? I see that Miao Ya is sneaky, always running to the West Crossing Courtyard, and then running outside to murmur with her second brother.
Damn it. That Changshou looked like a fighting cock when he saw Miao Ya."
Lin Jinrong took the soup and drank it, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I was playing in the river, and I accidentally got hit by his master and servant. He asked me to accompany him on a sightseeing tour, so I had to agree. Then he was unlucky and fell into the river.
In the meantime, Changshou and Miao Ya had a few words."
She said it lightly, but Lychee took a breath of cold air. Just as she was about to dig deeper, Lin Jinrong had already put down the bowl, stood up and said, "Let's go to my wife's place."
Mrs. Tao was very bored and was teasing Liu'er with Mother Gong. When she saw Lin Jinrong going in, she asked her wet nurse to carry Liu'er down. She pulled Lin Jinrong and looked her up and down, and then went to touch her forehead: "I fell asleep as soon as I came back, but she felt uncomfortable somewhere.
?”
Lin Jinrong sat sideways next to her: "It's nothing, it's just that I soaked in too much hot spring water and was a little weak. As soon as I walked in, my eyelids felt like they were sticky."
Lychee smiled apologetically and said, "Girl, I'm afraid she's suffering from spring sleepiness."
Mrs. Tao tried to make sure Lin Jinrong's body temperature was normal and stopped pursuing it. He just ordered: "Nothing is too much or too little. Please don't soak in the water for too long in the future."
Lin Jinrong agreed, grabbing a handful of pine nuts and peeling them slowly: "I heard that my second cousin is going to stay with us for two days? Isn't that bad? Isn't he here to visit Mr. Zhu and learn his skills from Mr. Zhu? Auntie
He talks a lot and is unreasonable. If she knew about it, she might even accuse us of delaying his studies."
Mrs. Tao frowned and glanced at her, sighing: "You are a very sensible kid, so why do these words sound so unpleasant? Of course I have a deal with Mr. Zhu. He is a serious relative of us, not with us.
Are you still going to trouble the gentlemen while you are recovering here? Although your aunt has a bad temper and is unreasonable, if she is like this she will find something to say, and no one will dare to receive her family members in the future."
Lin Jinrong buried his head in peeling pine nuts without saying a word.
Mrs. Tao said happily again: "I asked Lu Yan just now. Mr. Zhu is very approachable and takes good care of the students who come to study. I just want your seventh brother to come and learn some skills from Mr. Zhu in the future. He agreed to introduce me.
"
Lin Jinrong handed over the peeled pine nuts: "Where is the need for his recommendation? He was recommended by others, right? When the seventh brother is older and wiser, just ask his grandfather to lead him here directly. Mr. Zhu and the children of the tenants' families
Even if you are willing to teach, how can you still reject your seventh brother?"
"That's true. It's too early to say this now." Mrs. Tao had been enjoying her visit earlier and hadn't thought of this yet, so she said: "The visitor is a guest. You go to see your second cousin and ask him about dinner.
What to eat?"
Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment and then stood up.
Mother Gong looked at her back and whispered to Mrs. Tao: "Madam, the old slave seems to dislike the young master Ciao very much when looking at the fourth girl."
Mrs. Tao sighed: "Have you forgotten why my daughter was beaten by the old lady and why she was wronged? Although she didn't elaborate, I can guess that she got that kind of limelight. Lin Yuzhen will definitely not make it easy for her. No
It's not surprising that people from his family like him." He sighed again: "This child is actually not as annoying as Lin Yuzhen. It's a pity. If you were me, I wouldn't give my child to others for free.
"
Mother Gong said with a smile: "My wife also said that these things may or may not be available. This is everyone's fate. You have no control over it."
The structure of the west span courtyard is similar to that of the east span courtyard. The only difference is the trees planted. One is apricot blossoms and the other is hibiscus. At this time, the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, reflecting the sunset, and half of the courtyard is beautiful. Lu Yan is dressed in plain clothes, alone
Sitting on a bamboo chair under the tree and reading a book; not far away, spring buds squatted on the porch to fan the fire and brew medicine; the main door of the main house was open, and Changshou could be seen packing luggage inside.
Lin Jinrong stood at the door and coughed lightly, and said stiffly: "Second cousin, I heard that you were sick. My mother asked me to come see you and ask you what you want to eat at night."
Lu Yan raised his head and looked at Lin Jinrong carefully. After a while, he slowly put away the book in his hand and said, "Come and sit here."
Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment, walked over slowly, and sat down on the stone bench.
Lu Yan didn't look at her, but looked at the dirt on the wall of the courtyard opposite and said, "Why? I can't remember that I have ever offended you or anyone in your family."
Lin Jinrong didn't answer. In fact, she wanted to say a lot, but didn't know how to say it. She stared silently at the increasingly faint shadow of the sunset on the wall until it was no longer visible, and then said: "No reason, just
Because you look so annoying."
"Girl..." Lychee gently tugged on her clothes behind her, but Lin Jinrong ignored it and continued: "Every time I meet you, I have bad luck. No one likes to be with a broom star, so I hope
You can stay away from me, do you understand?"
"Hiss..." Lychee took a breath and looked at Lu Yan fearfully, fearing that Lu Yan would have an attack on the spot. Because Lin Jinrong's behavior just now was already considered very rude. If Lu Yan fell into the water earlier or it was Lin Jinrong who caused it, Lu Yan would
No matter how bad it happens, it’s not an exaggeration.
Lu Yan just lowered his eyelashes and didn't speak for a long time, with an unclear expression on his face.
Lin Jinrong was not surprised by his silence and just asked: "What do you want to eat? I still have to deal with my mother."
Lu Yan then raised his eyes and looked at her: "Peach Blossom Fish. Your clan brother said it's delicious."
Are you worthy? Lin Jinrong was startled, then sneered: "That fish is mine."
"Puffy peach blossom fish." Lu Yan repeated it with certainty: "If you don't tell me, I'll let Chun Ya go talk to third aunt. Maybe I will want to eat it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Maybe Tie Erniu and Miao Ya will also like it.
Willing to catch fish for me."
Lin Jinrong sneered: "Are you threatening me?" She didn't care. The worst she could do was to be locked up in the future. But this matter was completely different for Tie Erniu, Miao Ya, Lizhi and others.
"I just want to eat peach fish." Lu Yan picked up the book calmly and continued reading, ignoring her.
Lin Jinrong didn't say much, stood up and walked out.
When I went out, I happened to meet Lin Shiquan swimming over with Liu'er in his arms. He smiled at her and said, "Fourth sister, it's just right. I have something to ask you."
Lin Jinrong asked hurriedly: "What's the matter with third brother?"
Liu'er began to hum softly, and Lin Shiquan patted her back to coax her and said, "It's about the saline-alkali land. I think there are extra manpower, so why not allocate a few to build the ditch dam as soon as possible, and wait for the Tianhe River to flow? Come here, I can irrigate a few more times, so I can plant crops earlier. But I don’t know how to build this ditch dam. I asked my aunt, and she said it is your land, so let me ask you."
It was still early. This Yutian matter was indeed not something that could be accomplished by one household alone. It would be unwise to start building ditch dams now. Firstly, the cost would become higher; secondly, she would think about it later. It would be a lot of effort to buy the same land. Lin Jinrong smiled: "There is no rush for this right now. We will start again after I find someone to find out how to build ditch dams elsewhere. Third brother, you might as well read more books when you have time, don't always think about working. Son, the days ahead will be long." Seeing Liu'er crying more and more, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Shiquan wrinkled his nose: "Oh, it smells so bad. I'm afraid I just pooped."
"Liu'er is a girl who loves to be clean. She feels uncomfortable." Lin Jinrong reached out to pick it up: "Let me take it to the wet nurse."
Lin Shiquan did not refuse, handed Liu'er over to her, and said with some hesitation: "Fourth sister, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Lin Jinrong smiled: "Third brother, if you have something to say, it's okay to speak directly."
Lin Shiquan glanced at the door of the West Cross Courtyard and said softly: "They are relatives after all. If he obtains a degree in the future, it will also be of some benefit to the seventh brother."
Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment, then showed a bright smile to Lin Shiquan: "I know, thank you, third brother, for reminding me."
Lin Shiquan turned around and entered the Xikuoyuan and greeted Lu Yan: "Brother Lu shouldn't sit in the yard to blow the cool breeze if he catches the cold. Wind and cold can be big or small. If you delay them for a long time, you will become seriously ill. If you delay, If you fail the exam, that would be bad."
Lu Yan put down the letter and said: "It's just a minor illness, nothing serious."
Lin Shiquan smiled, sat down on the stone bench where Lin Jinrong had sat earlier, and said: "Please don't meet my fourth sister, she is just a little girl. She was angry earlier, so she will inevitably have a little temper when she meets you... …”
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and smiled: "I know."
Lin Shiquan was still a little worried. Some people said nice things, but who knows what they were thinking in their hearts? So he specifically asked Lu Yan: "The scenery around here is really nice. I told my third aunt that I can take you around." Come and have a look, you can build a monument if you want."
Lu Yan had heard about Lin Shiquan's brother and sister earlier at the Lin family. He knew that Lin Shiquan meant to protect Lin Jinrong, so he smiled lightly and accepted.
——*—— Non-billable nonsense, please read if you are interested——*——
Let me sigh, before I wrote this book, I knew it would be a challenge. In fact, it was extremely difficult for me to write, more difficult than any previous book. Each plot had to be considered over and over again for a long time, and it was common for me to overturn and rewrite it. .
But I want to make it clear that I have my own bottom line when it comes to character setting. Regarding the plot, the protagonist will be as nonchalant as possible and as logical as possible - to the best of my ability. If the story is told to the end and is recognized as a failure, then
It can only prove that my writing skills are insufficient and my level is not high.
In this story, there are no outstanding, strategizing, and invincible emperors and generals. They are just a group of ordinary people. They make mistakes, they have shortcomings, they have their own characters, thoughts, and emotions. They hate, love, feel frustrated, and are angry. They can’t do it.
Even if they are perfect, they cannot command and change the world. Although they may think they are really powerful, in fact, they are really not powerful. They are just ordinary people.
About who is right and who is wrong.
The heroine's rebirth is not to verify the faults of her previous life, nor does it mean that she was all wrong in her previous life. She has her own advantages and strengths, otherwise her previous life was useless, and it would be difficult to make rapid progress in this life in a short period of time. Who is she not for?
She was reborn for herself, looking for deficiencies to strengthen herself, and it was herself who benefited, and it had nothing to do with others, let alone upgrading to serve others.
As for whose fault it is, I think marriage is a matter between two people. It is not a unilateral problem of either person. Both are responsible. It is just a matter of how much wrong there is and whether the bottom line has been crossed. There is no absolute. I have not tried to prove who is the white rabbit.
I don’t want to prove that anyone is completely innocent. In fact, it is not logical at all. Have you ever slapped a slap in the face? If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is no need to cover up.
Let me emphasize again, there is a bottom line in the character setting, good people will have good results, and those who owe debts must pay back. It doesn't matter whether they are whitewashing or smearing, I am just telling a story from the perspective of a storyteller.
My eloquence is limited, and I want to express a lot, but unfortunately my words don’t convey my meaning. I’m really struggling. I won’t explain it anymore in the future, so I just keep on writing. Persistence is hard to come by, but you must persevere. (To be continued. If you like this work,
