Chapter 80 Total
When the night wind blew, the old elm tree yawned lazily, and the branches and leaves shook, making a low and pleasant rustling sound. Half a bright moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight tilted down, so that there was still a layer of silver frost inside and outside the house.
Lin Jinrong knelt down on the couch in front of the window and ended the conversation with Lin Jinyin: "That's it. I made a lot of money for Aunt Huang, and I made a lot of money myself. My sister's money will be taken back tomorrow.
There was no light in the room, and the moonlight made Lin Jinrong's expression particularly warm, but Lin Jinyin felt that his sister was strange. Lin Jinrong made it very clear. She has also read the note left by Aunt Huang. She is not Mrs. Tao. Not only does she not resist Aunt Huang's money for Lin Yizhi's marriage, but she is also very happy. After all, she is the eldest daughter. She is a few years older. She thinks of many things, but it is not easy to This is the embarrassment of being a daughter. If you are not careful, you will be criticized, saying that you are greedy for your mother's property or something. However, Lin Jinrong not only calculated it, but also did it. The change was so great that she was particularly surprised and uncomfortable.
Lin Jinrong calmly faced Lin Jinyin's attention and doubts. She knew very well that she was so different from the past that it was almost the opposite. Lin Jinyin's surprise or suspicion were normal.
After a long time, Lin Jinyin finally said, "I said that the money was borrowed from you. I just need the capital, and I won't take anything else. You still have a good plan. If your mother knows that you are helping Aunt Huang, she will make waves.
Lin Jinrong said calmly, "That's why I made things clear with my sister. Aunt Huang has a lot of money. If there is such an opportunity next time, I plan to help her again..." Aunt Huang's little money earlier was just a small fight. How much money can she save? She needed Lin Jinyin's help to cover it up and hide it from Tao, so that she could continue to borrow Aunt Huang's chicken to make eggs. Of course, she will not tell Lin Jinyin about the specific plans for the next step, as long as Lin Jinyin knows that there is such a thing.
Lin Jinyin pondered for a long time and said decisively, "Then hide it. Let's talk about it later. Although my mother is angry, it is impossible not to take Aunt Huang's money, and in turn take her own money to supplement it." Having said that, she is still worried. At that time, Aunt Huang will suddenly take out a large amount of money, and Tao will have to quarrel with Master Lin San? I want to make people laugh again.
"What are you afraid of?" Lin Jinrong smiled indifferently: "A cheap concubine from a maid can take out so much private money. Is it obvious that the third master wants to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife? Therefore, we don't have to worry about this matter. I guess she will definitely ask the third master to come forward and count the money as a subsidy given by the third master. If the third master agrees, he can't give nothing to his seventh brother in the future. I have a concubine, but I don't have a concubine. What's the reason? He can't stand it."
The two sisters looked at each other and both smiled. Even if the third master can't get the money, he can get some of the Jinshi paintings he received. Don't waste it.
Lin Jinyin smiled and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "What are we? The two sisters sat and calculated their father's money. If they were known, they would be laughed to death.
"If you want to laugh, you also laugh at him." Lin Jinrong didn't think so: "This is not a calculation, but a father's face for Zhou Yuan. Have you ever seen anyone do this to his father? I haven't seen it. Oh, I've seen it. Lin Chang is similar to him.
After hearing her sister's words, Lin Jinyin couldn't help but worry again. Earlier, she felt that her sister was too weak and quiet, hoping that her sister could be strong and shrewd, but now she feels that Lin Jinrong's idea is too big. It's not a good thing for a woman to have too much idea, and I don't know if she can tolerate it in the future. She wanted to persuade Lin Jinrong a few words, but there was no way to persuade him, so she thought silently, otherwise when she told her mother that she would marry her sister, she must find a generous person, a gentle brother-in-law, and everything else was secondary.
In the afternoon of the second day, Aunt Huang really held the jujube and walked to Lin Jinrong's yard with a food box and a fake cake.
Lin Jinrong ordered Litchi to close the door and keep it outside, and settled the bill with her.
No matter what Aunt Huang thought, she showed a look of satisfaction and gratitude. When she heard that Lin Jinrong did not make a chance, she wanted to give Lin Jinrong a silver bracelet as a thank-you gift. She asked Lin Jinrong not to forget to help Lin Yizhi if she had such an opportunity in the future.
Lin Jinrong is still concerned about the future. He will not accept Aunt Huang's silver bracelet and kindly send him out of the door.
The food box was a little heavy. Zao'er was a little difficult to carry, and she walked very slowly. Aunt Huang looked at it and felt a little happy and sad. She remembered that what the little girl heard at that time was that Lin Jinrong begged Tao Fengtang to stay until the time of paying taxes after spring, and Tao Fengtang also agreed. But the money Lin Jinrong just gave her was only converted according to the silver and gold prices in Qingzhou last autumn. Combined with Lin Jinrong's confiscation of commission and gifts, it can be seen that Lin Jinrong clearly borrowed her money and made a lot of money.
Although she also understands that there is no free food in the world, if Lin Jinrong has no benefits at all, how can he help her and Lin Yizhi in vain? And this opportunity to make money is rare, but she is still a little sore. She can't wait for Lin Yizhi to get a good reputation and marry a daughter-in-law, and then she can make money by herself. She doesn't have to ask people for such a small thing, so that her life is a down-to-earth life.
That's it, that's all. How dare you not bow your head under the eaves of the man's house? The fourth girl really doesn't want to marry into the Lu family like this. The card of Mammy Fang that she originally held in her hand is useless, and she can't speak in front of the fourth girl, and As long as the four girls are willing to help Lin Yimei say a few words at the critical moment, you can eat it. You have to find an opportunity to talk to the fourth girl and ask her to help talk in front of Dow, but if not, help inquire about the situation.
Aunt Huang was in the planning process. Mother Xu, the confidant of the Zhou family, came head-on. As soon as she showed a smiling face, she didn't have time to say hello. Mother Xu had already bumped into her. She avoided her, but bumped into Zaoer behind her. This collision was so bad that Zaoer stumbled. Seeing that the food box in her hand was about to fall to the ground, Aunt Huang was in a hurry to take a step forward and firmly protected the food box.
Mammy Xu stopped and glanced at the jujube on the ground. Her eyes fell on the food box in Aunt Huang's arms. A smile piled up on the pig's liver's face and she reached out to pull the jujube: "Oh, it turned out to be my aunt. The old slave was blind and didn't see you, so he bumped into you. It's an old slave, isn't it?
How dare Aunt Huang offend her confidant beside her wife? He held the food box and said with a smile, "Ms. Ma'm, are you in a hurry?"
Ms. Xu said, "Isn't it? The eldest wife's mother's house is coming. I'm in a hurry to report it. Auntie, where did you come from? What delicious food did you make again?
"It's nothing. I just steamed some cakes and gave them to the two girls to taste. Mammy, you are busy, you are busy, so I won't delay you. Aunt Huang couldn't stand Mother Xu's eyes staring at her food box. She winned at Zaoer and walked away.
Mam. Xu looked back at her movements carefully, thought for a moment, and forgot to continue to walk in. Entering the simple house, he directly greeted a little maid first: "Go and inquire about what Aunt Huang has done today, and then come and tell me." Then his feet kept walking in, "Madam is overjoyed, there is someone at home!"
Zhou was reading the account book, and he was very angry. The second room really saves money. The twins get the monthly routine, but they run to the old lady to eat and drink. They dare to ask for everything. They need to eat enough delicious food, and they don't save at all. Luo Shi is also hanging out there from time to time. The expenses are all on the old lady's head, and they often go Question mark The old woman is too biased! While depressed, when he suddenly heard Mother Xu's cry, he said unhappily, "What's the matter?"
When Mammy Xu saw her black face, she just restrained her expression and said, "The old man asked the old slave to come in and tell his wife that there is someone from Songzhou's family. The second uncle led the third young master to study under the name of Mr. Zhu.
"Ah? Really?" The Zhou family married Mr. Lin when he was in office. His mother's family was far away, and he had not seen anyone for many years. He was extremely happy and forgot his unhappiness. He immediately got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."
Ms mother Xu hurriedly smiled and said, "Madam, my uncle and cousin are listening to Tao Cure talking to the old man now."
Zhou Shi patted his forehead and said with a smile, "Look at me, I'm confused. Don't you have to come all the way from the outer courtyard first? Well, prepare dinner first. My second uncle likes to eat Xuexia soup and meat lines. These two must be indispensable. Cousand, I have never seen this child. You ask someone to ask him what he likes to eat and explain it together.
Mammy Xu went out and came back. She put it in Zhou's ear and whispered, "Madam, Lao Nu met Aunt Huang earlier. Zao'er carried a heavy food box. Lao Nu rushed to report to you. He didn't pay attention and bumped into Zao'er. Don't you think it's strange? Isn't Aunt Huang very good at treating that girl? Despite the girl's wrestling, she grabbed the food box first and protected it firmly. She didn't even care that Zao'er fell and couldn't get up. Later, she didn't mention it to Zao'er, so she held it herself..."
Zhou said impatiently, "Say the point!"
Mother Xu hurriedly accepted the following series of words; "The old slave felt strange, so he asked someone to inquire. Aunt Huang came out of the yard of the fourth girl."
"What's in the food box?" Zhou is impatient.
Mother Xu was a little embarrassed: "I didn't find out. That's why the old slave felt strange.
Zhou said lightly, "Then continue to inquire! There will always be someone who knows something. When did Lin Si get involved with Aunt Huang? This is so abnormal!
