Chapter 280 Cheng Bing
The cold wind blew through the treetops, and the frozen rain was mixed with snow grains, crackling on the plums, roofs, courtyard walls, and window paper, which made people feel a little colder.
Pearl closed the needle and thread in her hand, bit off the thread with her teeth, took it away, and looked left and right at the light. She was very satisfied. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and stretched out to go to bed. As soon as I poured some water into the basin, I heard two cat calls from outside. She gently pushed open the window, and a piercing cold came to her face. The yard was empty, and only two lanterns were swaying with the cold wind.
She quietly put down the window gently and continued to wash calmly. After washing up, she sat under the lamp for a while and then went to Lu Yun's room. Lu Yun had not yet fallen asleep. He was holding a book and reading carefully under the lamp. Jian Er sat by the smoking cage beside her and was sewing a dress.
Pearl smiled and said, "I'll be on duty for the girl. Jane, go to bed.
Jane looked up at her and smiled, "Have you packed everything?"
Pearl said, "It's ready." He asked Lu Yun again, "It's getting late. Is the girl going to rest?"
Lu Yun looked up at her and said, "I heard that something has happened outside."
Pearl understood: "I don't know what kind of snack girl wants to eat?"
Lu Yun said, "Go and see what's in the kitchen. Take whatever is convenient. Don't make it too troublesome in the evening."
Pearl made a salute, hit the lantern, and went to the food box. First, she went to the kitchen and asked the kitchen to make a bowl of dullness for Lu Yunxian. She said that she would come to pick it up later, and then put the food box and went gracefully against the cold wind and rain.
walked to no one's place, blew the lantern as usual, and carefully headed for Lv's yard.
However, after leaving a sip of incense in it, he hurried out, quickly turned into the path and walked along the path. He stood at the corner and took out flints and other things from his arms to light the lantern.
When the lantern lit up a little, he heard the sound of Cui Cui next to him, "Who?" Pearl raised the lantern high and shone towards the source of the sound. But I saw Fangzhu, Litchi, Fangling, and a new woman Hu standing there with a smile in front of Lin Jinrong. She couldn't help but be shocked and her face was full of smiles: "Huh, what are you four doing here? The black light is blind and cold. What's the good thing for Shang Wei?
Those people quickly gathered around and blocked her retreat. Fang Zhupi smiled and said, "Well, what are you doing here alone? The black light is blind and cold. Who are you discussing with? What's the good thing?
Pearl said, "What kind of joke did Fang's mother make? The eldest girl wants to eat dullness. I'm going to the kitchen to get dullness. I think it's almost the same. I have to go quickly, otherwise no one can afford to blame the girl. After saying that, he reached out to pull the bamboo in front of her.
Fangzhu took the opportunity to grab her hand and pulled forward hard. She couldn't control it and rushed forward. When her figure was not stable, Mrs. Hu rushed up, pulled her lantern and blew it to the ground, quickly covered her mouth, twisted her arm, pushed her to the ground, and stepped on her back.
Pearl couldn't spit out a word, and was pressed to death by the two of them. She couldn't help but be furious and struggled desperately. Litchi whispered, "You save trouble. We all know what you have done. You just came out of the girl's yard, and we will follow you. You don't want to deny it. We can all see it clearly. Even if my wife doesn't believe us, she always believes in our age.
Fang Zhu said coldly, "You are a smart person. You don't need us to teach you. You should know how your wife and girl will deal with you if they know the good deeds you have done. It has come to this point. It's better for you to be honest and suffer less. Otherwise, who do you think will come up for you?
Several people touched the darkness and pushed Pearl into the nearest warm pavilion. There was only one lamp lit in the warm pavilion, but the brazier was burning vigorously. Lin Jinrong raised his head under the lamp and looked at the muddy water all over his body. The embarrassed Pearl smiled: "Jules, let's make a deal. Either I'll give you to your wife and girl to deal with, or I'll leave you a way to live.
Pearl came all the way, and she was no longer panicked at that time. She straightened her whole dress, lowered her eyes and said with a wooden face, "Second grandma, forgive me, I don't know what you want to do."
Lin Jinrong didn't say anything and lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Mrs. Hu grabbed Pearl's hair and slapped her in the face. Pearl's nosebleeds were beaten out. Guiyuan, who stood behind Lin Jinrong, was frightened. She grinned and peeked at Lin Jinrong's expression, but saw that Lin Jinrong's eyebrows did not even move.
"Grandma, please forgive me." Pearl knew that there was a lot of bad luck today, but she didn't dare to shout. She just begged for mercy: "I didn't do anything. I always took care of the girl according to the old lady's instructions and listened to the girl's words."
Lin Jinrong didn't seem to hear it. Chao Fangling said, "Sister Fangling, I'm working with you tonight. She's still a little awake. I have to talk to her. Maybe she will suddenly wake up, and I don't want to make my wife sad and angry. You're not an idle person. Go back first. If you need it here, I'll ask someone to invite you.
"Yes." Fangling glanced at Pearl with a complicated look and saluted. Litchi chased the son out and whispered, "I'm sorry to bother you to talk to Jane and try to hide it from the girl first."
Fangling whispered, "Lychee, I don't know how grandma will end this? Where is the wife?"
Litchi took her hand and smiled, "Good sister, since grandma invited you to bear witness, I didn't mean to hide it from my wife.
It's just a busy time. My wife is busy. I can't let her work too hard. When the matter is clear, my grandmother will tell my wife. But before that, it's still "
"I know. If my second grandmother hadn't asked me to say what happened tonight, I wouldn't have said it." Fangling listened to what she said, so she went at ease.
Lychee then went forward again and waited in the place that Lu Yan must pass.
Lin Jinrong looked at Pearl and smiled: "Don't tell me about the old lady and the girl. Since I dare to attack you, I am fully sure. I know that many times when I am a subordinate, I can't help myself, and I don't want to be too embarrassed to accumulate blessings and ask for blessings. But you know, if I get angry, I can't care about it. Who told you to put me in front? You will probably think that anyway, it's a dead end. It's better not to say anything, but you're still young and you don't know what's going on. It's worse than death.
Fangzhu handed over a handkerchief at the right time, wiped Pearl's face carefully, and softly advised, "Pearl, who is the second grandmother? You should know. Look at me..."
Pearl lowered her eyes, frowned and thought nervously. Lin Jinrong was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
The wind was tight, and it was the season of dripping ice. The snow fell to the porch and formed a thin layer of ice on the ground and the fence. Lu Jianzhong felt that his vest, legs and the top of his head were also covered with a thin layer of ice, which was so cold that he could not move. The bones, joints and muscles and blood were all stiff.
Lu Shao's head was still on the ground. From the beginning, Mr. Lu asked them to choose by themselves, and he kept the same posture from the beginning. His eyes moved forward little by little through his eyelashes, all the way to Lu Yan's blue buckskin boots. He was ashamed and ashamed. Such ugliness fell into Lu Yan's eyes at all. How could he raise his head in front of Lu Yan after that?
In the past, regardless of what they did wrong, Master Lu never scolded them like this in front of Lu Yan. But this time, Master Lu obviously wanted to break the face and prestige of his eldest brother in front of Lu Yan, and to push Lu Yan out. His heart was as cold as the icicles under the eaves outside.
Lu Shao gently spit out a mouthful of white steam: "It's my fault. I dragged down the family and my father. Ask your grandfather to punish him."
Lu Jian Center was in pain, but he exhaled gently. His idea is slightly different from that of Lu Shao. Lu Shao is young and more important to face, but he knows that Lu Shao's choice is the wisest choice to keep the green hills without worrying about firewood.
The person that Master Lu is going to clean up at present is Lu Shao, not him. Even if he took over for Lu Shao this time, in the future, in order to push Lu Yan to the position, he could not guarantee that he would pick Lu Shao's fault again. Instead of letting Lu Shao lose face in front of everyone again and again, it's better to let Lu Shao remember this lesson and raise it for the time being. He is an elder, with more experience and a wider network. It is easier for him to stay and retreat and attack than Lu Shao. Wait, there is always a time to turn over.
Mr. Lu pondered for a moment and whispered, "Okay, as you wish. After the Spring Festival, you will hand over all the shops in your hand to Fan Bao. You can repair the ancestral temple and strengthen the old house by the way.
He was completely kicked out and returned indefinitely. Lu Shao's heart was empty, and only Lu Yan's 70% new leather boots were left in his eyes. Isn't Fan Bao actually in charge of Lu? Lu Yan is so lucky. He reads his nose and catches money. Setting up a situation harms people and endangers the family, but it can still stand here. Anran enjoys the good character of Master Lu, good knowledge and good praise, and Anran accepts the family business saved by their father and son after a long time of hard work. This man is really good at giving birth.
Lu Jianzhong's foot gently hit him. Lu Shao swallowed a mouthful of water and whispered, "Yes, my grandson will follow my grandfather's instructions."
Mr. Lu raised his hand lightly: "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. When will you figure out your mistake and when will you get up?" After saying that, he stopped looking at him and told Lu Jianzhong, "No matter what method you use, settle the brown matter for me. I want you to continue to do a good job in the golden brown business. You can't break the line of Mei Baoqing!" Yes." Lu Jianzhong habitually wiped the sweat on his forehead and reached out to touch it, but it was cold. The weather was so cold that he couldn't sweat.
When his father and son went, Master Lu sent Fan Bao away, leaving only Lu Yan: "Why didn't you plead for your second uncle and brother just now?"
