In Rongjingju, Mrs. Lu turned a string of finely carved Buddha beads of small-leaf red sandalwood, half closed her eyes, and listened to Lin Jinrong reciting scriptures. Lin Jinrong's voice was round and soft, and his expression was serious and solemn. Even the big-tailed squirrel who loved to blow up his tail stopped eating pine nuts and squatted quietly. Mother Sha and Su Xin stood aside quietly, as if they had settled down.
A warm breeze blew in from the window. First, he blew the lotus-colored plain gauze curtain into a wave-like ripple, then blew away the cigarettes hovering above the Yaozhou celadon carving huāhuā grass pattern incense burner under the tent, and then blew up the broken hair in front of Lin Jinrong's
I don't know what happened to Lin Shiquan and Mr. Lu outside? Lin Jinrong was still reading the scriptures in his mouth, but his eyes drifted away with the warm wind and fell on the door. Mrs. Lu flirted with her eyelids and looked along her eyes. There was nothing beside the door, only the blooming purple magnolia in the gallbladder bottle of the yellow pear wood shelf.
Mrs. Lu quietly withdrew her eyes, continued to turn the rosary, and silently followed Lin Jinrong to recite the scriptures. After reciting a paragraph, seeing that Lin Jinrong was about to turn the page, he said gently, "That's all for today. You are tired all day, and you have to come to accompany me as an old lady. It's difficult for you." In the past, I always had to finish reading. Today, I was interrupted in advance. I found myself absent-minded. Lin Jinrong was slightly embarrassed: "It's okay." After restraining his mind, he continued to read, and after reading, the originally somewhat restless mood also calmed down. What is there to worry about? What is the effect of anxiety? Master Lu can't eat Lin Shiquan.
Hearing that her voice became more and more peaceful, and even had a kind of rhythmic beauty, Mrs. Lu nodded secretly with satisfaction. After she finished chanting the scriptures, she gave her the rosary in her hand and said, "Erlang is not at home. You have worked hard alone. This string of beads has been with me for more than ten years, and I have given it to you. Go ahead." Lin Jinrong held the rosary beads and couldn't laugh or cry. She is still so young. Is this to ask her to cultivate herself and recite more Buddhist scriptures when she is not at home? Although he thought so, he put the string of beads on his wrist and retreated respectfully.
When it was time to take the lamp, Fang Zhu came in to deliver the letter: "Grandma, Third Master Lin and the old master have been drinking until now, and both of them are a little drunk. Only then did the old master arrange a car for Third Master Lin to send him back."
Since both of them are a little drunk, it means that Master Lu at least does not hate Lin Shiquan, and it will be much more convenient for Lin Shiquan to go in and out of the Lu family in the future. Lin Jinrong was relieved and planned to wait until he saw Lin Shishi in the future, and then ask him what they talked about today.
Fangzhu lowered his eyebrows and stood aside, quiet and did not hear the sound of breathing. Lin Jinrong suddenly wanted to test. If he forgot to let her retreat, what would she do? In those years, I had always treated her respectfully, so I had never tried this. So he pretended to think about things and half drooped his head.
In a blink of an eye, a cup of tea passed. She was still sitting still, and Fang Zhu was still standing still.
Litchi looked at it inexplicably. She didn't know what medicine she sold in the gourd, but she didn't come to disturb her and stood quietly beside her.
After about a cup of tea, Mother Gui came in with a curtain and said with a smile, "Grandma, the old slave gave you a nap of white fungus and red jujube soup. Let's eat it while it's hot?" Seeing this situation for a moment, I couldn't figure out the reason, so I pressed down the sound, left and right.
Lin Jinrong couldn't pretend anymore. Fang made a look that he had just remembered and said with some embarrassment, "Look at me, I'm fascinated by things. I made Fangzhu wait here for so long." You blame Litchi: "You don't remind me that if it hadn't been for Mother Gui to send the soup in, wouldn't it have been in a daze all the time? Let people stand all the time?"
Litchi said aggrievedly, "Aren't you afraid of interrupting grandma's thoughts?" Well done, no matter how decent the elders are, they are still slaves. Because of this, they can't always give way to Fangzhu. No matter how good and careful people are, they will inevitably have a sense of arrogance.
Fangzhu smiled, bowed his knees and saluted, and his voice was half ignited: "It's not a matter of affairs, grandma is too polite, and the maidservant is panicked." Mother Gui then breathed her breath, sent the white fungus and red jujube soup, and said with a smile, "Grandma, what do you think is so fascinated?"
Lin Jinrong held the bowl and said with a smile, "Actually, this matter has something to do with Fangzhu. I just wanted to ask you for help, so I didn't let you go. As a result, I thought about it deeply and forgot it.
Fangzhu's expression remained unchanged: "Grandma, what do you have to tell me to do?"
Lin Jinrong said, "Actually, it's not a big deal.
You see, my brother came today and discussed the makeup with me. This lady knows it." Yes." Fangzhu listened carefully. She sent a letter to invite her. Of course, she knew the ins and outs. It's just that Lin Jinrong didn't trust her. After arriving at the huā hall, he found an excuse to let her go. So what Lin Jinrong asked her to do, she didn't know, but her intuition would not be a good thing.
Lin Jinrong added, "I have to go out the door the day after the day. My grandfather and grandmother promised, but I haven't had time to tell my wife. If I go to talk to her now, I'm always worried that she will think that I will cut her first and not pay attention to her, which makes me angry with me. You have been with my wife for a long time, and my wife praises you for being smart and capable. You Aren't you angry with me?" Going out is completely different from asking people to come home to ask about business. Lin Yuzhen will not allow it easily, but she is bound to go out of this door. This kind of difficult thing is left to the capable Fangzhu to do.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Fangzhu's face.
This job is not easy to do. Lin Yuzhen's temper is indeed what Lin Jinrong said. If Lin Jinrong does not get the permission of the old man and the old lady in advance, Lin Yuzhen may not allow Lin Jinrong to go out, perhaps because she is in a bad mood, or because she feels that she wants to show off her mother-in-law's prestige. And if Lin Jinrong gets the consent of the two elders first, and then informed Lin Yuzhen, then Lin Yuzhen will be unhappy no matter what. She feels that Lin Jinrong does not pay attention to himself and will definitely make it difficult in every way.
But this errand must be done. As soon as she entered Lin Jinrong's door, Lin Jinrong asked her to do her business. If she can't do it well, she will definitely be despised. How can she get Lin Jinrong's trust in the future? But if she goes to do this job, it means that she has to resist all Lin Yuzhen's anger.
Lin Jinrong looked at Fang Zhu's look and sighed disappointedly: "You can't do it? I thought you must have it. What should I do? I was so happy when my mother gave you to me yesterday. I also think that there will be helpers both internally and externally in the future. Alas"
After hearing this, Fangzhu quickly made up her mind: "If grandma can rest assured, let the maidservant try it first." If you can't make it, you have to try it. You can't shied it.
Lin Jinrong looked at her with great interest: "What are you going to do?"
Fangzhu said softly, "I don't have any other skills, but the honest and loyal wife knows best. It's just a small matter. My wife has always been considerate and doesn't care about it.
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm waiting for your good news."
Fangzhu saluted stily, retreated steadily, and couldn't hear any of his footsteps. Counting that she had gone out of the door, Mother Gui said, "Grandma, do you believe her?" Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "If you don't believe her, who do you believe? Is there anyone more suitable to deal with his wife than her? Mother Gui said, "She was given by her wife. How can she help you? It's not what the wife says, she does what she does. I really want to go out but don't want to make my wife angry. It's better to go to the eldest girl and ask the eldest girl to help me talk to her.
"It depends on whether she is really smart or not. I don't care what she does. I just want to see the result. The smile on Lin Jinrong's face became lighter and lighter: "Mama has always thought that the eldest girl is very good?"
Although Mother Gui didn't know what was going on with her and Lu Yun, she had been with her for many years. She knew that she was a little unhappy and said quickly, "In terms of this family, she and her wife are the closest to us.
Lin Jinrong said, "You're right. So who does Mammy think is the most reliable and closest person for you? Guiyuan can be in the front, but Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun can't be in front of her.
Mssman Gui's face changed slightly, and she said in a panic, "Grandma, for the old slave, of course, you are the most reliable. You are the old slave's lifelong support." Her words were sincere, but she didn't understand why she was just a kind suggestion, which made Lin Jinrong ask such words. Although Lu Yun loved to reward her, they were all open and upright. She didn't deliberately hide it from anyone, and she didn't take things and be half-hearted.
Lin Jinrong was not in the mood to go around her and said directly, "Ms Mother, just remember this. Remember, except for me, the masters of this family will never treat you so well again. No matter how good they treat you now, it's just because of me. It's not terrible to be stupid. What I'm afraid of is that if you are stupid, you have to pretend to be smart. When you go down, you can think about it yourself. Mother Gui's face was as white as paper. She was ashamed of her old face and staggered out. Litchi said worriedly, "Grandma, is this not good? Mother Gui will be sad. She is a good person and wholeheartedly for you. Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and ate the white fungus soup in the bowl and whispered, "I have a number. No matter how good your heart is, if you can't do anything, it will kill people. If I can't manage my room first, how can I manage the outside? Don't laugh to death. I can control them precisely because I still have them in my heart. If I don't have them in my heart, I won't care about them anymore.
Litchi sighed and found Mother Gui, who was hiding in the room to wipe her tears. She said what Lin Jinrong said to Mother Gui. Mother Gui sat silently for a moment, wiped away her tears and stopped crying. She only asked Litchi to help. She collected Lu Yunsang's things in a box Locked up.
I don't know what Fangzhu said to Lin Yuzhen. The next morning, when Lin Jinrong went to say no to Lin Yuzhen, he mentioned this matter. Although Lin Yuzhen was not very happy, she did not have an attack and responded indifferently. Lin Jinrong didn't care whether she was happy or not. She only knew that everything was difficult at the beginning. When she went out alone, she finally took the first step.
