Back in the small courtyard, Lin Jue announced the news to Lu Wu, who was eagerly waiting. Lu Wu jumped up happily and couldn't wait to run to the courtyard behind to tell Qiurong. Qiurong cried with joy, immediately packed up her things, and went to the courtyard behind.
Green Dance helped move it to the small courtyard.
Mrs. Jiang has been in a bad mood these past few days. She has been crying for several days about Lin Quan divorcing his wife and leaving home, but she did not dare to plead with Lin Boyong. None of the women in the other rooms were willing to listen to her complaints. Of course
When she heard that Qiurong was going to be sent to Lin Jue's room, she immediately cursed and stood in the corridor and howled.
"Okay, now even the son of a little bitch has begun to bully us. When he knew something was wrong with us, he shrank his head and refused to comfort us. Instead, he came to poach us. You bastard. Are there any rules in this family anymore? Just let us go.
That little bastard lived in a big house, and we moved to the firewood shed to suffer. Bo Ming, did you see that? You actually died, but you know that we were bullied miserably."
Amidst Jiang's wailing, Lu Wu and Qiurong packed their packages and left proudly. A group of maids stood in the corridor and did not dare to wave goodbye, but their eyes showed envy. Qiurong was finally out of the sea of suffering.
I still have to stay here to serve this moody old woman. Fortunately, Mr. Qian has been divorced, and the future life should not be more difficult than before. After all, without Mr. Qian's provocation, Mr. Jiang will not be able to cause trouble.
What happened?
Lu Wu took Qiurong back to her yard. Qiurong was about to put down her bedding and prepare to make the bed to work, but Lin Jue stopped her.
"Qiurong, from now on, you are free."
Qiurong looked at Lin Jue in surprise and said, "What does the second young master mean by this?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Lu Wu has told me everything about you, and I promised Lu Wu to give you freedom."
Qiurong looked at Lu Wu blankly, Lu Wu pursed her lips and nodded slowly with tears in her eyes.
"Qiurong, I only have one request, that is, I hope you can leave Hangzhou and go to the countryside or anywhere else. Just don't let the Lin family know your whereabouts. I think you should understand the specific reason.
I'm not forcing you, but it's for your own good, and for the sake of Green Dance and us." Lin Jue said slowly.
"Second Young Master, don't worry, Qiurong understands. Qiurong will leave Hangzhou. Qiurong's hometown is in Hubei. Qiurong will go back to her hometown. There are still aunts and cousins in her hometown." Qiurong said softly.
"Very good. Then go back to your hometown to live."
Lin Jue nodded and looked at Lu Wu. Lu Wu understood what he meant. After entering the room, he took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Qiu Rong's hand.
"Sister Qiurong, you and I have nothing to give you as a gift. There are twenty taels of silver here, of which 20 taels are the young master's wish, and the other five taels are the private money I saved. You can take it.
I have to make a living, and I also need money to live when I return to my hometown. It should be enough to use the money to do a small business. If I have a chance in the future, I will go find you." Lu Wu said with tears in his eyes.
Qiurong hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, how can this be done? I can't accept so much money."
Lu Wu shouted: "You must accept it, you must accept it."
Qiu Rong repeatedly waved her hands to refuse. Lin Jue said: "Qiu Rong, this is our intention and has no other meaning. You and Lu Wu are good sisters, there is no need to be so open-minded. If you leave the Lin family and live a troubled life,
Could it be that I have harmed you, and Lu Wu will also be unhappy. Accept it, and don't refuse it anymore."
Qiu Rong pondered for a moment, then tears welled up. With a pop, she knelt down in front of Lin Jue and said: "The second young master is so kind and virtuous, Qiu Rong is very grateful. The second young master is a good person, and good people must be rewarded. I will accept the money."
, but I can’t repay you, so I can only go to the Buddha and pray for blessings and longevity for the second son.”
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "Get up quickly, don't do this."
Qiurong kowtowed and stood up, came to Lu Wu, took off a bracelet from her wrist, took Lu Wu's hand and put it on for her. She said, "Sister Lu Wu, this jade bracelet belongs to me."
The most valuable thing on my body is actually not a valuable thing. It’s just an ordinary bracelet. I’ll leave it to you to think about. You must not refuse. I bought it with the money I saved.
My things. It is the luckiest thing in my life that I can meet my sister. If you have a chance in the future, you must find me. My hometown is Dangyang County, Tanzhou, Hubei. Don't forget my sister."
Lu Wu nodded in tears, Qiurong reached out and hugged Lu Wu, and the two girls cried together.
Lin Jue waited for them to calm down and said, "Qiurong, let's go. Don't bring your bedclothes. Bring some changes of clothes, just valuable things."
Qiu Rong wiped away her tears and smiled bitterly: "What valuable things do I have? I have been in the Lin family for almost ten years, but I only saved a dozen taels of silver and a few sets of clothes. Second Young Master, wait a moment, I will pack them away right away."
Qiurong opened the baggage, packed up a few clothes quickly with her hands and feet, tied the baggage and carried it on her back, saying: "Okay, Second Young Master, we can go."
Lin Jue nodded and greeted Lin Hu, and the three of them walked toward the door. Lu Wu followed a few steps behind with tears in his eyes. Qiurong turned around and waved goodbye, and followed Lin Jue out of the yard. Behind him, Lu Wu's suppressed sobs could be heard.
The three of them walked out of the Fengshan Gate of Nancheng. When they were on the street, Lin Jue and Lin Hu carefully observed the movement behind them. They didn't know if it was because of Lin Quan's incident, or if someone was aware of the intensive following.
On the contrary, it was counterproductive, because neither of them noticed that there was a suspicious person following behind them.
After passing the Qiantang Ferry and arriving in the woods at the foot of the Wansong Ridge hillside, Lin Jue stopped and reached out to take the bamboo basket from Lin Hu's back and carry it on his back.
"Miss Qiurong, let's say goodbye here. We didn't see anyone suspicious along the way. If you don't leave now, you will have to wait until later. I'll ask Xiaohu to give you a ride, and go west along the mountainside. You can reach the pine forest in the afternoon.
Collect, you can hire carriages and horses there and continue on your way."
Qiurong nodded, Yingying fell to the ground and kowtowed to Lin Jue again. Lin Jue hurriedly asked her to get up, and explained a few words to Lin Hu, asking him to take Qiurong to Songlin Market Town and hire a car to take her away.
Hu Liang agreed.
Lin Hu picked up Qiu Rong's package and put it on his shoulder. Qiu Rong followed him for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and bowed again: "Second Young Master, Qiu Rong has something to say to Second Young Master boldly. Otherwise.
There’s no chance.”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Qiurong said: "Qiurong hopes that the second young master can treat Lu Wu well. Lu Wu... likes you very much. She told me in private that she was afraid that you would not want her. She is very kind and loyal. I know this
It was a bit inappropriate to say what I said, but Lu Wu was shy and timid and didn't dare to speak, so I said it for her. I hope the second young master won't blame me for being nosy."
Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "I see, don't worry, Lu Wu is the person I value most, and I will treat her well even if you don't tell me. Miss Qiurong, have a good trip."
Qiu Rong was blessed, turned around and left quickly. Lin Jue stood on the spot and watched the two of them disappear into the woods. Then he put the bamboo basket on his shoulders and walked quickly up the mountain.
…
Fang Dunru didn't say anything about Lin Jue's arrival six or seven days apart. He was sorting out his collection of manuscripts this summer, so he didn't really want anyone to disturb him. Lin Jue's arrival as a disciple was actually an accident.
On the contrary, Mrs. Fang and Fang Huanqiu were quite annoyed. Because when they left Fang's house that day, Lin Jue promised to Mrs. Fang that he would continue to renovate the small courtyard next time he came. For example, Lin Jue proposed to dig a small pond in a corner of the courtyard.
It is used to store water when it rains. It can be used to water flowers and vegetables at ordinary times, so that there is no need to go to the lotus pond under the cliff to fetch water back. This remark was deeply appreciated by my wife.
Because Fang Dunru never asked about family affairs, Fang Huanqiu was too weak to carry a bucket. She usually went to the water pool to water the vegetables with water, which was really tiring. Lin felt that this idea was very popular with his wife.
, Mrs. Fang was full of praise for Lin Jue. After Lin Jue left, she even recited Lin Jue’s goodness dozens of times.
In comparison, Fang Huanqiu's anger was a bit inexplicable. After Lin Jue arrived, she was studying under the shade of the trees in the back garden. After hearing the noise, she quickly entered the house, but then suddenly disappeared. She was poured by Lin Jue.
He drank a cup of tea and disappeared again with an angry look in his eyes. This made Lin Jue quite confused.
At noon, Lin Jue opened the newly brought wine and drank a few glasses with Fang Dunru. The mistress's wife's fried side dishes were also delicious. Lin Jue had a great appetite and ate two bowls of rice. After the meal, Lin Jue accompanied Fang Dunru.
Fang Dunru was talking in the room.
"Why is junior sister acting so weird? She doesn't seem to welcome me. Did I offend her with my words?" Lin Jue had received several big looks from Fang Huanqiu during the meal, and now he couldn't help but ask.
Fang Dunru smiled and said: "You asked for it, who is to blame?"
Monk Lin Jue Zhang Er was confused and looked confused.
"Didn't you see the words hanging in the main room?"
"What word?"
Fang Dunru smacked his lips and said, "Look, Huanqiu can't be blamed for this."
Lin Jue hurriedly looked into the main room, and sure enough, he saw a picture hanging on the east side of the main room. It was elegant and upright, and it was written "A Love of Lotus".
"This word...?"
"Yes, it was written by Huanqiu. I have written several drafts in the past few days, and I just finished it with a look of satisfaction. You haven't noticed it until now, and you haven't even said a word of praise. You deserve to be looked down upon."
Lin Jue suddenly realized it and smiled bitterly.
"Qiu'er has a frail body, some hidden diseases brought about by her mother in the womb, and some petty tempers. Don't worry about her. She is not a stingy person. I am her father and I know this very well. Looking back, you can praise her for her good writing.
That’s it.”
Lin Jue nodded in agreement and asked tentatively: "I don't know what disease the junior sister has? Why is it not treated?"
Fang Dunru sighed: "Why not treat it? I have sought medical treatment from countless doctors in the past ten years, but there is no improvement. The disease brought in the mother's womb seems to be difficult to cure."
"I don't know what the symptoms are."
"Hmm... I probably have frequent heart palpitations and fainting, and difficulty breathing when I get sick. Sometimes I also have hemoptysis, which is very dangerous. Oh, I won't mention these, this is my heart disease." Fang Dunru sighed and shook his head.
