Chapter 30 Introduction 1
Qingli quickly poured a cup of warm water in and smiled at Mrs. Lin, who was lying in **, and said, "It's the fourth girl who said goodbye to Mrs. Tao's uncle. She came to thank the old lady for her for her grace. Because the old lady rested, she saluted at the door and went back.
The old lady didn't say anything.
She was facing the wall. Qing Li couldn't see her face clearly, so she said tentatively, "Old lady, do you want to drink water?"
"No drink." The old lady said slowly and coldly, "It turns out that she still has my grandmother in her eyes."
Qingli was speechless for a moment. The old lady has been waiting for Lin Jinrong to thank her. If the fourth girl doesn't come, I'm afraid that even if she kowtowed to the old lady in the future, the old lady may not be looking at her. People, it's just love to fight for this breath.
Lin Jinrong just returned to his small yard, and two groups of people came in a row. The first one is the loquat beside Lin Jinyin. The loquat sent Lin Jinrong a box of gold and silver, and passed on Lin Jinyin's original words behind the back of Mother Gui and others: "The third girl said that she didn't agree with you doing this. But money is something outside the body, and you are her only compatriot sister. If you insist on it, she will give it. It's a blessing. If not, it will make you remember this lesson.
How can it not work? Sure enough, Lin Jinyin, a steady elder sister, still has to stab. Lin Jinrong was scolded by Lin Jinyin with a smile, took the box of gold and silver, and then rewarded the loquat with his own hands. The loquat seemed to smile: "It's my fault for me to run this trip. If you really want to reward me, I will reward you when you make money. I won't think too much After a pause, he kindly reminded, "The third girl means that insignificant people don't need to let them know, which saves a lot of trouble."
Get it! This girl has always been thinking about others and listening to others. What a treasure. No wonder she later became the housekeeper of the Tao family. Lin Jinrong smiled and ordered Litchi to send loquat out. He studied ink and laid paper under the lamp, and wrote down the amount of gold and silver, so that he would give it to Tao Fengtang.
Mother Gui and Gui Yuan don't know what she has just done. They just wonder why she studied ink and wrote in the middle of the night. They couldn't help but be confused: "What is the girl going to do?" There are countless small claws scratching in Guiyuan's heart. Didn't the third girl just quarrel with the fourth girl? Why did you send another box of things? The loquat is still mysterious. What is it? What is it?
Lin Jinrong smiled gently and lightly: "I asked my eldest cousin to help me buy some novel things in the field, and I'm writing a list." Both of these women are illiterate, so it's easy to coax.
Guiyuan also stopped. She thought very cleverly that the box was probably something that the third girl wanted to give to the young master, but she was embarrassed to open her mouth and borrowed the fourth girl's hand?
With a few words, as soon as Lin Jinrong paved the posture here, Litchi came in and said strangely, "Girl, you dropped a purse when you greeted the third master, and Aunt Huang sent it to you in person." I don't know what Aunt Huang is doing secretly with a girl.
In the past, Aunt Huang also loved to do this face, but Lin Jinrong never easily refused to see her or accept her. Mother Gui, according to her past habits, said, "Girl, rest at ease and wait for the old slave to go out to serve her aunt."
Lin Jinrong put down the pen in his hand and said lightly, "Auntie is kind-hearted. How can she neglect her so much? Invite your aunt to come in for tea.
Mother Gui was still a little hesitant, but Lin Jinrong had already gone out. She stood up in the porch with a smile and was staring at Aunt Huang with her back to the angry wind lamp on the top: "Auntie, what kind of money is a purse? It's raining and cold at night. It's the same if you make a person or meet someone another day and give it to me. Come on, come in and have a cup of hot tea to warm up. His eyes paused and stopped on the double-layer black lacquer food box in Aunt Huang's personal maid Zaoer's hand.
Aunt Huang smiled modestly. Her eyes also fell on the dark food box with Lin Jinrong's eyes, and her tone was very intimate: "The third master wants to eat osmanthus balls. I thought that it was cold in the rain at night. It happened that everyone was comfortable to eat a bowl of hotly and sleep, so I made more for I sent it. The seventh young master was so young that he couldn't eat it, so he didn't send it. The fourth girl lived far away and didn't worry about others to send it, so he sent it in person.
"Auntie has a heart, thank you." Lin Jinrong saluted her, welcomed her into the room, and asked Aunt Huang to sit on the couch near the window, and lychee served hot tea.
Guiyuan wanted to pick up the food box in Zao'er's hand, but Zao'er shrank and looked at Aunt Huang. She laughed crisply and said, "It's rare for me to have a chance to serve the four girls. Don't argue with your sister."
Gui Yuan was furious. The masters and servants were all shameless people. They kicked their noses, the master robbed men, and maids came to rob girls. What's the truth! Just as I was about to say a few words, I heard Lin Jinrong say, "Guiyuan, it's rare for my aunt to come here. I remember we still have some lotus root cakes. You can bring them hot and invite your aunt to have a taste." Look at this, the purse and the osmanthus balls are just an introduction. She really wants to know what is the bottom layer of these two food boxes? Why not create an opportunity for Aunt Huang?
Guiyuan was not angry, but he didn't dare to listen. He had to restrain his salute and retreat. Lin Jinrong called Mother Gui again: "Mother, please help me check the hot water. I blew a cool breeze and got wet in the rain earlier. After a little cold, I want to bubble."
"Yes." Mother Gui looked at the lychee standing beside her and retreated gently.
At this moment, Zao'er had opened the first food box, took out a fine porcelain bowl with both hands and handed it to Lin Jinrong. The unique sweet fragrance of osmanthus balls kept drilling into Lin Jinrong's nose. She smiled, took a spoon and scooped a ball into her mouth without hesitation, tasted it carefully, and sighed, "Auntie's good craftsmanship. Only you can make such osmanthus balls."
Aunt Huang said with a smile, "If the girl likes to eat, just send someone to say it. Even in the middle of the night, the slave will also make it for you."
Lin Jinrong smiled and told the truth, "Where do I have that blessing?" Didn't you kill me? My father will be the first to forgive me, and the fifth brother will also blame me for tossing my aunt.
Aunt Huang was stabbed by her big truth, but she didn't pay attention to it. She smiled faintly and said, "The girl laughed. If it hadn't been for you, how could the fifth young master have been let go so easily by the old master? The slave is crude, but it is a memory. It's not convenient for you to go out in the past half a month, and it's not convenient for you to visit. But he didn't stop. The two pairs of shoes you wanted have already got one pair, and they will be delivered together in a few days. If the third master hadn't been sick, he could have taken them together today.
Lin Jinrong nodded and went straight in: "I don't know what kind of purse my aunt picked up? Can you show me?" She knows best whether she has ever lost her purse. Aunt Huang knows best whether Aunt Huang has picked up her purse.
Aunt Huang's face suddenly changed several times. It was uncertain, and her eyes were a little erratic. Then, her eyes fell on the paper that Lin Jinrong still had time to put away on the table. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Four girls, I came in the middle of the night to ask for something."
The spoon in Lin Jinrong's hand slowly scooped up a round osmanthus ball, and the fish was hooked, but she was careless, and it was likely that all the hard work and calculations had been wasted. Be steady, be steady! She fed the osmanthus balls to her mouth and smiled faintly: "My aunt loves me wrongly. I'm still guilty now. I'm afraid I can't help my aunt."
Aunt Huang frowned slightly and said, "Fourth girl, I'm not the one who doesn't know how to look at the momentum. This is not difficult. As long as you gently raise your hand, it will pass. It's good for me, and it's good for my wife, you, and even our third wife."
"Oh?" Lin Jinrong looked at Aunt Huang with a smile: "I would like to hear more about it." It's because Aunt Huang knows how to take the momentum, otherwise she wouldn't have put her idea on Aunt Huang.
Aunt Huang motioned Zaoer to go out, and Lin Jinrong also asked Litchi to go out.
The lower layer of the double-layer food box was opened, and it was full of gold and silver boxes of different sizes, which was not much, similar to Lin Jinrong's own private room. Aunt Huang's fingers were on the edge of the black food box, and she was a little indecisive.
Lin Jinrong ate another osmanthus ball and smiled faintly: "My aunt took these gold and silver for no reason. What are you going to do?"
Aunt Huang looked up at Lin Jinrong. But seeing Lin Jinrong sitting under the lamp, smiling cleverly and a little disdainful, as if he had seen through his tricks, but deliberately pretended to be confused, he simply gritted his teeth: "I heard that the price of gold and silver in Qingzhou is higher than that in Pingzhou."
Lin Jinrong smiled, and the spoon was thrown into a small bowl by her, making a crisp "jingle" sound. Her voice seemed to be wrapped in a layer of ice: "Auntie's ears are so good. But even so, it's none of your business.
Aunt Huang's lips burst into a faint, but particularly bold smile: "Four girls, it's not the timid of the slave, but the girl's kindness. I can't brush it easily."
Lin Jinrong's eyes were full of chill, and he stared at Aunt Huang motionlessly.
Yes, even if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew that there were some things that could not be hidden from Aunt Huang. For example, Tao was not the first in the family to do it, and she would not be the last to do the matter of gold and silver to Qingzhou to exchange the difference. Such an easy way to make money, like Aunt Huang, how can people who especially need gold and silver not know? Last night, despite Lin Jinyin's opposition, she deliberately pulled Tao Fengtang to say that in Master Lin's yard for another purpose.
She is fishing, Aunt Huang, a slippery fish. Aunt Huang, like her, is a person who is particularly eager for money, especially Aunt Huang's low status, and she is not free to go in and out. Even if she knows how to do it, she knows that Tao is doing such a thing, and she has no way to go, and she can't do anything to do it. She deliberately told Aunt Huang about what she wanted to intervene, and took advantage of Aunt Huang's moment of false fire, and waited for Aunt Huang's bold leap. At this moment, Aunt Huang followed her footsteps and jumped up bravely!
However, Lin Jinrong did not feel the joy and excitement of success. Her mind became more and more calm and sober. She heard her voice like a straight line without any ups and downs: "My aunt's words are so profound that I can't understand."
