Chapter 180 Shangsi

The old house is always much quieter than the new house in Pingzhou City. At night, except for the sound of rats fighting on the beam, there is basically no sound.

On the fourth watch, Lin Jinrong opened his eyes, gently straightened his scattered hair aside, and listened to the movement with his ears sideways. Lu Yan beside her slept soundly soundly, and her breathing was so light that she could hardly hear her. It was so quiet everywhere that she felt that even her eardrums seemed to be covered, hazy and not refreshing.

She didn't like this feeling. She couldn't sleep. She simply sat up, gently stepped over Lu Yan's body, put on her robe, opened the door and walked out.

On the night of March, with a cold breath, it was a little prickly inhaled into the lungs. There is no moon in the sky, full of stars. I don't know when the light in the porch went out, which made the starlight more and cold. A cat ran quickly across the wall, stopped not far from Lin Jinrong, and stared at her quietly with its head sideways. The cat's eyes flashed faintly in the starlight.

Lin Jinrong leaned against the pillar and looked at the cat in silence. There are usually no people in the old house, but there is a lot of food hidden. Most of them are mice, so they keep a lot of cats. These cats always appear in unexpected places. One of the reasons why she didn't like this place at that time was these cats and mice.

She has never been bold and is often frightened by these cats and mice. She always felt that many people had died in this old house for many years. In addition to cats and mice, there might be something else that suddenly appeared. So in the year when Ning'er was born, she came here and was frightened several times. As soon as it was dark, she hugged Ning'er and sat in the room and refused to go out. Knowing that she was afraid, Lu Yan always pushed Lu Shao and Lu Jing's invitations and sat aside reading with her and Ning'er.

The second time she came, she and he lived in separate rooms.

She basically didn't see him. He was either at Lu Shao's place, or at Lu Lun's place, or hiding alone in this old house. At that time, she was no longer afraid of these haunted cats and mice. Every time she heard the abnormal movement, she couldn't help thinking that if there were really ghosts and gods, it would be better to take her away. Or, Ning'er can enter her dream,

She can hug him and express her apology and sadness to him. But she also thought that her little Ning'er should not stay in this world, but should have a better baby and grow up smoothly.

Lin Jinrong gently pressed the corners of his eyes. She almost stared at the cat fiercely. She was a person who had died once. She was in awe of God and Buddha, but she was really no longer afraid of these.

The cat seemed to feel her hostility, turned its head and left quietly. Lin Jinrong bit his lip and squatted down. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry. She stood up slowly holding the pillar, looked up at the brightest white star in the sky, and kept seeing that her eyes were sore.

"Arong?" Lu Yan stood at the door without wearing his coat. He frowned slightly and looked at her reproachfully, "What are you doing?" Lin Jinrong looked back at him and smiled gently: "I'm looking at the cat."

Lu Yan seemed to be relieved and walked towards her quickly. He held her shoulder and blamed, "What kind of cat do you see in the middle of the night?" He lowered his head and put his face against her cheek: "How can you recover from freezing sickness?"

His cheeks were hot, and he still had the warmth of just got up in his arms. Lin Jinrong leaned against him and whispered, "Do you think there are gods and ghosts in the world?,...

Lu Yan's body stiffened, and then whispered, "A Rong, Zi doesn't talk nonsense. But I think we should have respect for gods and ghosts and not blasphemy them. He doesn't believe in Buddhism.

Lin Jinrong was extremely low, but he said very firmly, "Yes."

Lu Yan was silent for a moment and pushed her in: "Well, let's not talk about this. Go into the room first. Your face and hands are frozen."

The door where the girls lived rang gently. Lin Jinrong guessed that it was Litchi who heard the noise and looked up, so he quietly followed Lu Yan into the room.

Lu Yan groped to light up the light, took off his coat on the hanger, went to Lin Jinrong and sat down, and looked at her inquiringly: "Arong, don't you sleep well at night?" Lin Jinrong felt a little tired at this time and whispered, "I heard a mouse fighting on the sorghum. It's too dark and cold in this room."

Lu Yan smiled affectionately: "So you ran outside to see the cat? Why didn't you call me when you heard the mouse fighting? Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Look at you sleeping sweetly." Lu Yan looked at her for a long time and took her hand in the palm of his hand: "Arong, you don't like it here, do you?"

Lin Jinrong hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I don't like this house."

"This house is too old, narrow, a little dark, a lot of inconvenience, but..." Lu Yan smiled and said, "There is a good place near here. I can take you to go boating." When the rest of the Lu family left, only the two of them were left, it was their world.

Lin Jinrong tilted on the top. Keep your eyes open and wait for dawn. In this family, it is Mr. Lu who has the final say, and in fact, Lu Yan has made up his mind to stay here, and he doesn't really want to ask for her opinion.

Lu Yan pushed her, motioned her to give way in, squeezed down beside her, pulled up the quilt and covered the two of them: "It's still early. It's still more than an hour before the fifth watch. Why don't you go in and sleep a little longer? If you don't want to sleep, let's play chess?" Lin Jinrong smiled faintly: "Forget it, I lost anyway." If he wins, he won't. He will keep going. If he loses, let alone lose.

Lu Yan smiled awkwardly: "Then let's talk? Ah Rong, when did you first see me? Do you remember?" After all, he always wanted to explore the reason why Lin Jinrong hated him so much.

Lin Jinrong closed his eyes and said, "I can't remember clearly. Maybe it was a long time ago?" Lu Yan smiled and said, "How long will it last?" You are only seventeen years old.

Lin Jinrong raised his hand to cover his eyes: "I'm sleepy." Lu Yan stopped talking, leaned over and took a book on the bookcase beside him, and looked at the light. It was not until the door outside rang and the lychees got up that they woke up Lin Jinrong.

Old Master Lu had already ordered to hold a banquet in the old house to entertain the clans on this day. Therefore, there are a lot of people here this day, but in the hour, many old and young people entered the old house of the Lu family and had breakfast in the outer courtyard and the inner house respectively.

Although the preparation began many days in advance, Song and Lu are still very busy.

The other women in the family can't count on it. Lin Yuzhen doesn't care about her home, and naturally she doesn't care about anything. She only accompanies Mrs. Lu and the old ladies of her family to tell jokes and shows off her appearance: Lu Yun is a girl who has not been married before leaving the cabinet. Lin Yu Around his wife, Anran enjoyed the praise and look of his relatives, and prepared for the marriage: Tu Shi is a sick man. He has not seen Lu Wei for many days. It's easy to have this opportunity. At this time, he wants to lean more on Lu Wei's side and say something cold and warm words.

As for Lin Jinrong, she is a bride who is less than a month old. This time she goes back to her old house for her. Who dares to ask her to do things? Naturally, he also stayed in front of Mrs. Lu and was solemnly introduced by Mrs. Lu to the women in the clan. Therefore, the whole family is enjoying happiness, and only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the second room are busy inside and outside.

Many of the servants in the old house are old servants. They have children, and they are intertwined with each other, which is far more difficult to clean up than the new house. What's more, there are many people in poor families. I heard that they want to run a banquet and come to subsidize their families. If they are not careful Therefore, it was really difficult for the Song family to hold it. He said that his voice was hoarse, and the capable servants who brought him jumped over their feet, which was the first to finish the morning banquet.

When the nose is about to disperse, Song and Lv have the opportunity to sit down for dinner, and they have to eat faster, because the carriage to go to the grave has been set up and is about to leave.

Lin Yuzhen looked on coldly and felt particularly relieved. She said hypocritically, "Arong, come and thank your second aunt and sister-in-law. If they don't help today, it will be you who are busy. Lv's face suddenly looked difficult, and he couldn't swallow with the bowl. Song's smile was still bright: "What are you talking about? Thank you? What can I do for you? They are all a family for their own family affairs. What are you so polite? Lin Jinrong quickly got up and smiled and said, "I'll add rice and vegetables to my second aunt and sister-in-law." If she responds to Lin Yuzhen's arrangement to thank the Song family and the Lv family, it is equivalent to being straightforward and foolishly opposite the second room. Mrs. Mrs. Lu will definitely not like it: But if she doesn't thank her, she hasn't said anything to enjoy it. It's indeed wrong. In the eyes of outsiders, Inch. It's better to say nothing and show it with practical actions.

The Song family naturally spared no effort to praise Lin Jinrong: "The second nephew and daughter-in-law are really sensible, gentle and polite, and the character of talents is one in a hundred." He enjoyed Lin Jinrong's rice and dishes in peace.

Lin Yuzhen curled the corners of her lips disdainfully. Lu Yun lowered his eyes and gently fiddled with the fan ears.

Mrs. Lu watched Lin Jinrong's behavior and was very satisfied. She turned her head and smiled and continued to gossip with several old ladies of the same age and similar generation around her.

This episode did not affect Lin Yuzhen's mood. As soon as the news of departure came from outside, she happily led Lin Jinrong out and took advantage of the gap of boarding the car to introduce Lin Jinrong to several face-headed relatives in the clan. Old Master Lu did not urge him. After she let Lin Jinrong walk around in front of the crowd, he ordered to board the car and leave.
