Chapter 191 Human feelings
One...
,
Qingyang Street, located in the middle of Pingzhou City, is the most prosperous and widest street in Pingzhou City. Lin Jinrong's incense shop is on this street. The location is not very good, and it is even a little remote. The shop is not big, but it is very refreshing.
The signboard with gold characters on a black background, the brightly painted counter, the goods are neatly arranged, clear at a glance, dust-free everywhere, the table under the window is properly decorated with fresh bonsai, even the stollors and clerks who greet the business are very clean and neatly dressed, and the smile is just right.
Lin Jinrong wore a violet mask, stood in the shop and observed silently, and followed Lin Shiquan into the backyard to drink tea with satisfaction. This is the third time she has come to this shop. The first two times she came with Dow, but she glanced around and left without entering the backyard. Now that I'm here today, I have to take a closer look at the place where Lin Shi is on tipping.
The backyard is not big, and it is also the place where Lin Shiquan lives in daily life and the place that provides the operation of the whole shop. It is very crowded. But even so, it still maintains the same style as the outside. The windows are bright and clean, and the red leaves are green, refreshing and pleasant.
Lin Shiquan looked aside. Seeing that Lin Jinrong's eyes showed satisfaction, he couldn't help but be a little happy and relaxed, so he led her to the elegant room where she entertained guests to rest, talk about business and tea: "The middleman will come soon. Let's go inside for a cup of tea and eat some fruit." Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "It's rare for you to treat me."
Lin Shiquan couldn't help laughing and said, "I seem to be stingy. Obviously, I don't have a chance." After sitting down, Lin Jinrong couldn't ask: "What did the old man say to the third brother when he saw the third brother the day before yesterday?"
Lin Shiquan smiled bitterly and said, "I asked a lot of questions. In addition to the incense shop, I also asked about the tea shop and the ground." He also asked me what I planned for the future. Have you ever talked to him about the teahouse? Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Of course I mentioned it, otherwise why do you think I would sit here?" Lin Shiquan said seriously, "The old man is a good person. At least I sincerely hope you are good. Don't make him angry."
Lin Jinrong whispered, "I know." The person she can't offend the most now is Mr. Lu.
Lin Shiquan was silent for a moment and whispered, "Fourth sister, I thought about your proposal that day later and thought you were right." It's the same in the morning and late. Since Lin Jinrong is frank, why should he stick to these?
Seeing that he was finally open-minded, Lin Jinrong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Is the third brother going to buy a property in Jizhou?"
Lin Shiquan said, "If you don't go to Jizhou, there is nothing to miss there. I think it's better to move to Shengzhou. He is a native of Jizhou, and his biological mother's family is still there, but there are still several relatives living there. He is so talkative that he really doesn't want to go back.
Shengzhou is the place where Tao Fengxiang opened a shop to buy a property. If he buys a property there, there is still a care.
Lin Jinrong looked down for a moment and whispered, "That's not bad. Didn't Wu Xiang ask you where to send my reply last time? The third brother answered him for me, "Let him send it here, and then let the third brother transfer it to me." She didn't have a chance. If she had a chance, she would definitely pull Wu Xiang to ask clearly what good things he had done. There are only people like him who don't hide after doing bad things.
Seeing that she was so careful, Lin Shiquan couldn't help frowning and thinking, was she living such a difficult life in the Lu family that she was even worried about letting people send a letter to her door? I wanted to ask her a few words, but I got it. However, he resisted it again.
Lin Jinrong seemed to know what he was thinking," he took the initiative to explain: "Wu Xiang and Yang Mo have never been loved by their aunts. There is a little quarrel between them. If Lu Yan is at home, he is not afraid. Now that he is not at home, I naturally can't make more trouble. That's right. Lin Shiquan no longer paid attention to this matter, and talked to Lin Jinrong wholeheartedly about business and some interesting things.
After gossiping and drinking two rounds of tea, the middleman came and led the two of them to see the shop of the Zhu family first, and then the two of them to see the house of the Liang family. As soon as Lin Jinrong saw the sorghum family's house, he understood why Lin Shiquan considered using an ordinary house to make a tea shop.
The house of the Liang family is on the street, and the street at the door is wide and quiet. There is no need to worry that the carriage can't get in and can't stop. After entering, the bluestone path is tortuous, the side of the road is sparse, the blue bricks and gray tiles, the powder wall is clean, simple and quiet. Obviously, it is an ordinary huā wood, and the house building has never been carefully carved and painted, but it shows a unique, simple and secluded beauty.
Lin Jinrong said with appreciation, "It's a good place." I'm a little willing. This place is suitable. Aren't the literati just greedy for elegance? Even a scum like Master Lin San likes to find a quiet and elegant place when he invites his friends to go out to eat, drink and have fun. What does it mean that it's not a street here? If it is operated properly, the price of tea can be higher.
Although the middleman couldn't see her face, he heard a little meaning from her voice and said with a smile, "Grandma is an elegant person. There are better ones in the future. The little one will take you to have a look. I'm sure you like it. In fact, it is just a quiet little huā garden with several different varieties of magnolia trees. At this time, the white magnolia is about to wither and the purple magnolia is in full bloom, and the yellow magnolia is budding. The grass under the tree is green, and a small clear pool reflects the blue sky and white clouds. The same style as the previous one, not exquisite, not expensive, but pleasing to the eyes.
Lin Jinrong gave Lin Shiquan a win-eye, indicating that he liked it here. Lin Shiquan didn't show any look on his face. Instead, he began to criticize the house: "I thought there was anything good, but it's just some ordinary huāmu. Such a garden can be seen everywhere.
How dare you ask for so much money?" This is a new house. It is because it is an ordinary huāmu, so the price is low. It's reassuring to live in such a house. It's beautiful, and I'm not afraid of being damaged and claimed. The picker is the buyer, and the middleman is experienced. Instead of being angry, he is getting more and more excited.
Lin Jinrong took lychees and cherries and sat on the stone table under the magnolia tree. He listened to the two of them asking for the price all over the sky, the other to pay back the money on the spot, fighting wits and courage, playing tricks, and begging for favors. For a while, the price was .
When it was settled, the middleman ran quickly to prepare the deed. Lin Shiquan came over and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, it's rare for you to come out. Why don't you take this opportunity to tell you in detail what the tea shop in the south of the Yangtze River is like? Let's discuss how to arrange it Cup Jinrong had this idea, so he turned back with him. Starting from the door, he stopped a few feet away from each line to discuss it. When the discussion was ready, he completed the formalities with the middle man. It was not early.
Lin Jinrong had the intention to go back to his mother's house. Seeing that it was late, he did not dare to stay outside for a long time. He hurriedly explained a few words to Lin Shiquan and turned around and left. As soon as he got into the carriage, Lin Shiquan caught up with him again and said with some embarrassment, "Fourth sister, have you told Erlang about this?" Although it is Lin Jinrong's own makeup, and Mr. Lu also knows it, it is best to tell Lu Yan.
Lin Jinrong was stunned and smiled: "I'll tell him. Thank you for reminding me. Halfway through the carriage, he remembered that Lin Yuzhen had read about the plain noodles in Wuzhang Building a few days ago, and then went straight to Wuzhang Building to buy plain noodles and porridge. He rushed back to Lu's house before dinner, and then changed his clothes and went straight to Rongjingju.
At this point, the daughters of the Lu family gathered in Rongjingju without any accident. Every time, it was the most beautiful and down-to-earth time in the second room. Yuanlang and Haolang withdrew in front of Mrs. Lu's knees. Song and Lv smiled happily and proudly. Lin Yuzhen's lips had a little sarcastic smile. They sat aside and said a few words with Mammy Sha and Lu Yun from time to Don't say a word.
Lin Jinrong's appearance finally gave some comfort to the lonely and sad big room and the third room. After taking the plain noodles of the five-foot building held by Lin Jinrong, Lin Yuzhen was a little happy in her heart and deliberately said disapprovingly, "Arong, you go out to do business. How can you have a banquet to buy these?" Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "It's hard to go out. Now Ya'er is getting more and more dry. It's comfortable to eat some plain porridge." Song smiled and said, "If I had known that Arong was going out, I should have gone with you. I heard that your mother's shop has recently bought a batch of clothes, so I'm just in time to have a look. It's time to make summer clothes. Lin Jinrong didn't know what she was going to do, so he smiled and said, "I didn't go anywhere else today. I just went to my own perfume shop.
If the second aunt likes Yun Jinji's clothes, I will ask someone to go back tomorrow and ask them to pick some according to the good and unique ones and send them to you.
Suddenly, Lu Shi laughed and said, "Isn't it time to make summer clothes at home? Why don't you ask them to send the materials of the next person to make summer clothes? Without waiting for Lin Jinrong to speak, he kindly said to Song, "Mother-in-law, I asked for this favor for Arong, and my relatives opened a shop. Why did you take advantage of others?"
Song Shi smiled and said, "Look at you, will I not agree? Who should I buy it with? My relatives are more at ease. Right, mother-in-law?"
Before Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but you also know that my mother's shop is too small, and the clothes sold are all carefully selected by my mother's cousin from the south of the Yangtze River. There are not many, and there are only a few of them. If the elders want to Yes, the summer clothes for the whole family can't be made. Song and Lv also have their own shops. They will not let go of anything that the Lu family needs from their shop. As long as the price is reasonable and the goods are good, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu will not ask. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have agreed to give her a favor, but Lin Jinrong is different from them. No matter how much interest she allows her, she will not let the Lu family's family affairs be contaminated with the Tao family and her shop. This must be divided.
Lv still wants to persuade her again. Lin Yuzhen also feels that if she doesn't make money, she won't make it for nothing. If the Tao family doesn't like it, she is also her mother's sister-in-law. Mrs. Lu said lightly, "Since the shop is small, forget it." Once it was settled, everyone was silent.
