"Ahem! What are you talking about? Are you so happy?" Mr. Lin San coughed and staggered in. Looking at Wu Xiang, he became more and more fond of her, and even looked at Lin Jinrong more pleasantly than usual.
Lin Jinrong stood up and gave up her seat, pouring him a cup of tea: "I'm talking about Yang Mo."
"Yang Mo?" Mr. Lin San only met Yang Mo twice and could not remember this person. After thinking for a long time, a vague face appeared in his mind, and asked Wu Xiang: "He is from your uncle's family."
Bar?"
Wu Xiang smiled and nodded: "Exactly."
Mr. Lin San touched the mustache on his lips and rolled his eyes twice: "I remember she used to stay at your house?"
Wu Xiang nodded again: "My mother has no daughter, but she loves her very much and often takes her to live with her."
When Wu Xiang talked about Yang Mo, his expression was joyful and his tone was affectionate. Mr. Lin San saw it clearly and hurriedly made insinuations: "I remember that she is about the same age as Ah Rong. Although it is not very far from Jiangnan to Pingzhou, it is not far away either.
Recently, she has been traveling back and forth as a little girl. Isn't it easy on the road? She often lives at your house, how can her parents be willing to do so?" Actually, what he wanted to ask was, is Yang Mo engaged? Will she be engaged to Wu?
Xiang, let’s kiss each other even more?
You must be sick. He was so concerned about the little girl's personal affairs for no reason. Wu Xiang saw Mr. Lin San's sly eyebrows and looked like he was breaking the casserole to ask the truth. She didn't like it, so she frowned and said perfunctorily: "It's okay.
"
Mr. Lin San asked again: "Will she come to stay at your house again this time?"
Wu Xiang was even more impatient: "I don't know."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly interrupted: "Dad, mom is here, shall we have dinner?"
He eats and sleeps without saying a word. This is what Mr. Lin San has been taught since he was a child. However, he is not like this today. He is more interested in Wu Xiang than ever before. Now he asks about this, now he asks about that, and he also persuades Wu Xiang to eat and win over him.
The meaning was too clear. Tao looked at him several times, but he felt nothing.
Wu Xiang was used to being praised and paid attention to by others in the past, so she didn't feel much at first. But Mr. Lin San did it too obviously, and when she saw Lin Jinrong and Tao's awkward and weird expressions, she felt a little weird, so she ate a few bites in a hurry
So he put down his chopsticks, got up and hid on the pretext that he was full.
Mr. Lin San didn't realize it at all and ordered Mrs. Tao: "It's the time when you are growing taller and longer. Why do you want to eat so little and stop eating? Is it not to your liking? Ask someone to ask him what he likes to eat. He will try to find a way no matter what.
Get it to him."
Tao didn't know what he was thinking, and instinctively thought that he was trying to please Xinke Jieyuan, so he frowned and said: "The conditions on the way were already difficult, and there were people from his family following us. Everything we could do has been done, and what else can we do?"
What can I do? If he says he wants to eat fresh fish or shrimp, where do you want me to change it for him?"
Mr. Lin San raised his eyebrows and said, "As a woman, what do you know?! Even if you can't change it, what's the point of asking? How could he be so ignorant?"
His voice was not quiet, and he didn't seem to be afraid of being heard by the Lin family servants outside. Mrs. Tao was extremely annoyed, but she couldn't shirk it, so she called Mother Gong: "Go and ask Mr. Wu what he likes to eat. Can you think of something?"
Make another one for him."
Mr. Lin San was finally satisfied. He glanced at Lin Jinrong who was immersed in eating, and said to Mr. Tao seriously: "That's right. It's always good to pay more attention. I'll talk about poetry with him later."
To avoid being lonely on the way." Lin Shenzhi also said: "Don't just eat, I also want to learn from you, Brother Wu..." If you choose a son-in-law to get a Jinshi, Wu Xiang must be a Jinshi. If you can get this son-in-law,
, do you dare to look down on him when you look at the first and second bedrooms?
Lin Shenzhi held the bowl and swallowed a mouthful of rice hard, and responded listlessly: "Oh."
When Mrs. Tao saw Lin Shenzhi like this, she couldn't help but glared at Mr. Lin San with disgust. She wanted to say, "What qualifications do you have to talk about poetry with others?" But he was afraid of making a quarrel and making others laugh, so he had to endure it.
Talking about poetry? Couldn't he see that Wu Xiang was impatient with his contempt and perfunctory treatment? Lin Jinrong suddenly felt helpless, sighed heavily, and suddenly felt full, with half a bowl of rice left.
Some can't eat it.
But when Wu Xiang went outside, he saw Lin Shiquan carrying a big bowl and several stewards sitting around a small square table eating outside, so he came up and asked, "Ah Quan, why don't you go in and have breakfast with us?"
Lin Shiquan smiled slightly: "I have something to do. I didn't want to disturb you for dinner, so I didn't go in." No one likes to be picked on, and it's okay. He doesn't want to show off in front of Mr. Lin San while eating.
The question is, who should I eat with or not?
Wu Xiang thought of Mr. Lin San's difficult attitude and couldn't help but smile with understanding: "Then eat slowly and eat more." Then he winked at Ran Mo who was squatting aside to eat: "Take it.
Bring me some chestnut cake and hibiscus cake, and make a pot of good tea."
Ran Mo asked curiously: "Master, aren't you full? But the food is not to your liking?"
Wu Xiang nodded: "Yes, it's too unpalatable."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Gong's mother laughing from behind: "Second Young Master, my wife asked the old slave to ask you what you want to eat so that someone can make it for you."
Wu Xiang understood this bit of human sophistication, so he turned around and said with a smile, "No, thanks for your concern, aunt. I'm full, I'm full."
Mother Gong advised: "Don't be polite..."
Wu Xiang quickly waved his hand: "You're welcome, you're welcome, I just want to eat some chestnut cake. I have some in my car."
Mother Gong had no choice but to say a few more polite words and go to find Mr. Tao's reply.
Wu Xiang got into her car, fell down on the seat cushion, reached out to take the chestnut cake handed over by Ran Mo, and took a deep bite.
Ran Mo asked strangely: "Master, I saw that Sister-in-law Fang cooked crispy bone fish for you. How come you don't think it tastes good?" The young master is very picky. He is used to Sister-in-law Fang's food at home, so he went out this time.
, his wife specially asked Sister-in-law Fang to cook his favorite food for him. Sister-in-law Fang made enough preparations before going out. If he didn't even eat that, there would be nothing he could do.
Wu Xiang said depressedly: "It's not that it doesn't taste good, it's just that I can't eat it."
Ran Mo was even more surprised: "Why?"
Wu Xiang said: "I can't bear to look at someone's face. He is so noisy that he asks questions about everything."
Ranmo had been following him since he was a child, and he was quite naughty, so he made him happy: "Let me guess who it is? Ah, is it this one?" He held out three fingers.
Wu Xiang smiled and kicked over: "Go, go, you little bastard, you are talking nonsense." In the past, he only heard the elders in the family say how useless Master Lin San was, but now it seems that not only is he useless, he also doesn't know how to read people's eyes.
Disgusting, thanks to the fact that Lin Jinrong and his sister are not so unpleasant.
Looking at his expression, Ran Mo knew that he was right, so he came up with an idea: "If the young master doesn't like to eat with his family, he will say that he is tired at night and stay in the room to rest to avoid the meal. Lin San
My wife will definitely ask Sister-in-law Fang to cook it for you separately. What you want to eat is not your business?"
Wu Xiang kicked him lightly again: "Little bastard, I don't know what's going on with me? Do you want you to teach me?"
Ranmo threw himself into the carriage exaggeratedly and shouted: "Master, please be gentle."
"Ahem, dear nephew, I'm lonely on the way. Let's just discuss whose poems you like..." Mr. Lin San's voice had already arrived before he arrived.
Are you done yet? Wu Xiang threw the chestnut cake in his hand out of the window extremely impatiently and said loudly: "It's stuffy in the car, I want to ride a horse." He got out of the car, completely ignoring Mr. Lin San, turned around and left.
He walked over in the other direction and shouted loudly: "Ranmo, Ranmo, come and prepare my horse for the young master!"
Mr. Lin San stood there blankly for a moment. He felt hot from the bottom of his neck, and his face turned red. He felt that the servants standing around him were looking at him with strange eyes, so he shook his sleeves fiercely and became angry.
He got into his car. What is it? After taking the Jie Yuan exam, his whole body is only two or two pounds? It is something that cannot be respected by others!
Wu Xiang saw it clearly and breathed a sigh of relief. He laughed and rode forward, causing the stewards of the Lin family to chase after him in a swarm. It would almost cost him his life to be like a waste like Mr. Lin San.
It's better to offend once and save yourself from trouble later.
When Mrs. Tao heard what Gong's mother told her about this matter, she felt that Mr. Lin San deserved the humiliation he had brought upon himself. She also felt that it was a bit unpleasant to lose face: "This child is too arrogant and will not leave any room or mercy."
Face, it's really embarrassing." No matter how incompetent Master Lin San is, he shouldn't deny him face like this in front of his servants. This is not giving face to the Lin family, and she loses face. Mrs. Tao felt a little light,
Just wanting to bring people to the ground smoothly is considered a business trip.
Mother Gong smiled dryly and persuaded: "Madam, he is still young. He only knows how to study and is not sensible. Why do you care about him?"
"I don't care." Mrs. Tao shook her head gently, her mood getting lower and lower: "My family is inferior to others, so it's no wonder that others look down on me. I don't look at the Wu family's face, but my sister-in-law's face."
Lin Jinrong sat in the corner, staring blankly out of the window, speechless for a moment.
In the evening, everyone stopped to rest and the food was ready. Tao ordered someone to invite Wu Xiang to come for dinner. As expected, Wu Xiang ordered Ran Mo to come and complain, saying that he was tired and wanted to rest in the room. Mr. Lin San snorted coldly.
After making a sound, Mr. Tao vaguely understood what was going on, so he simply asked someone to make another copy and send it to his room, and stopped asking about his affairs.
Lin Jinrong felt unspeakably tired and lay down early after eating. When he woke up, it was already daylight. As usual, he went to set the dining table and asked Li Zhi to invite Wu Xiang to dinner. Li Zhi came back and whispered: "Wu Er
Don't get up early, you've already eaten."
Mr. Lin San's face sank again, he sneered, and said in a sinister manner: "This nephew of your sister-in-law's family is really noble and looks down on us. What the hell! I want to see what he will become in the end? Isn't he a great talent?
Having talent but not virtue is still the same thing."
Mrs. Tao remained silent and gave Lin Shenzhi a chicken leg, saying, "Eat well and grow up quickly."
Lin Jinrong finished eating first and got up to see if the maids had packed her and Tao's personal belongings into the car. After checking, she saw Li Zhi handing over a book: "Girl, this is what Second Young Master Wu asked me to do."
The slave gave it to you, saying it was the Chronicles of Mountains and Rivers you wanted. I dug it out last night, but you were already asleep... He said that if you want to see anything else, remember to tell him."
Lin Jinrong weighed the book and was silent for a long time. Then he smiled and handed it to Lychee: "Put it away for me. I'll ask you for it when I want to read it." Why bother? It's better to just let nature take its course.
