Chapter 66 Direct
Guiyuan didn't notice Lin Jinrong's mood at all, but only cared about his own happiness: "If you want to say that the young master is really unlucky, there are so many roads on Qingliang Mountain, why did he take that road, and why did the bridge collapse... Oh, I heard that when Tie Erniu met the two However, they are really lucky. If Tie Erniu doesn't catch peach blossom fish for you, no one will know that they will be drowned. Will my aunt have to cry to death? Her thinking jumped very fast, and she suddenly changed from Lu Yan in distress to Lu Yan's literary reputation problem: "Girl, I heard that the old gentlemen praised the young master's article, saying that he would definitely pass the exam."
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes, dressed and washed, and did not answer. Of course, she knew that Lu Yan could pass the exam, and Wu Xiang could also pass the exam, and Wu Xiang was better than Lu Yan.
Litchi came in with a cup of osmanthus soup. Seeing this, he hurriedly said, "Guiyuan, where did you put the shoes of the spring flowers? Why can't I find it? Earlier, Sister Chunya came to ask, and she wanted to borrow a pair of embroidery.
Guiyuan really stopped the noise and ran outside to turn over the shoes.
Lin Jinrong sighed gently: "It's finally clean."
Litchi handed the osmanthus soup into her hand and whispered, "Girl, what happened today? I saw that Miao Ya was sneaky. She always ran to the west across the courtyard, and then ran outside to mutter to her second brother. When Changshou saw Miao Ya, he was like a cockfight.
Lin Jinrong took the soup and said lightly, "It's nothing. It's just that I was playing in the river. Unfortunately, I was broken by his master and servant. He asked me to accompany him to play in the mountains and rivers, so I had to agree, and then he was unlucky to fall into the river. During this period, Changshou and Miao Ya had a few words.
She said lightly, but Litchi took a cold breath and was about to dig deeper. Lin Jinrong had already put the bowl and got up and said, "Let's go to my wife's place."
Dow was extremely bored. He was teasing Liu'er with Gong's mother. When she saw Lin Jinrong in, she asked the wet nurse to hold Liu'er down, pulled Lin Jinrong up and down, and then went to probe her forehead: "I fell asleep as soon as I came back, but what's wrong?"
Lin Jinrong sat sideways next to her: "It's nothing, it's just that there are too many hot spring blisters, a little weak, and it seems to be sticky as soon as it enters the eyelids."
Litchi smiled and said, "I'm afraid the girl is sleepy in spring."
Dao tried Lin Jinrong's body temperature to be normal, so he stopped investigating. He only ordered, "Everything is too much. Don't soak for a long time in the future." Lin Jinrong answered, grabbed a handful of pine nuts and slowly peeled them: "I heard that the second cousin is going to stay with us for two days? Isn't that good? Didn't he come to visit Mr. Zhu and learn from Mr. Zhu? My aunt's words are unreasonable. If she knows, she may say that we will delay his studies.
Dow frowned and looked at her and sighed, "You are usually very sensible. Why does this sound wrong? Naturally, I have delivery at Mr. Zhu's place. He and we are serious relatives. If we don't get sick from our place, do we still have to trouble Mr. Zhu? Although your aunt has a bad temper and is very unreasonable, if she is tired, she will have to say something, and no one will dare to receive her family in the future.
Lin Jinrong buried his head in peeling pine nuts and didn't talk.
Tao said happily, "I just asked Lu Yan. Mr. Zhu is approachable and very caring for the students who come to study. I just want to ask your seventh brother to learn something from Mr. Zhu in the future. He promised to introduce him.
Lin Jinrong handed over the peeled pine nuts: "Where can I use his introduction? He was introduced by others, didn't he? When the seventh brother is more sensible, just ask his grandfather to lead him directly. Mr. Zhu is even willing to save the children of the tenant's family. Will he still refuse the seventh brother?
"That's true. It's too early to say this now. Dow was very happy earlier, but he didn't expect this, so he said, "The person who comes is a guest. Go and see your second cousin. Ask him what he wants for dinner?"
Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment and got up.
Gong's mother looked at her background and whispered to Tao: "Madam, the old slave looks at the fourth girl and seems to dislike the cousin very much."
Tao sighed, "You forgot that your wife was beaten by the old lady. Why are you wronged? Although she didn't talk about it in detail, I can guess that she is in the limelight. Lin Yuzhen will definitely not make her feel better. It's not surprising that people don't like him. He sighed again: "This child is actually not as annoying as Lin Yuzhen. What a pity. If I kill me, I won't give my child to anyone.
Gong's mother smiled and said, "Madam said that there are some things or not. This is everyone's life, and it can't be helpless at all."
The structure of the west-cross courtyard is similar to that of the east-cross courtyard. Only the trees planted are different. One is apricot blossoms and the other is scus. At this time, the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, reflecting the sunset, and half of the courtyard is delicate. Lu Yan was dressed in plain clothes and sat alone in a bamboo chair under the tree to read a book; not far away, Chunya squatted in the porch to stir up fire and boil medicine; the door of the main room was open, and it was faintly visible that Changshou was packing his luggage inside.
Lin Jinrong stood at the door and coughed gently and said stiffly, "Second cousin, I heard that you are sick. My mother asked me to come to see you and ask you what you want to eat tonight."
Lu Yan raised his head and looked at Lin Jinrong. After a while, he slowly closed the book in his hand: "Come and sit down."
Lin Jinrong was silent, walked slowly, and sat down on the stone bench.
Lu Yan did not look at her, but looked at a muddy place on the opposite courtyard wall and said, "Why? I can't remember offending you or your family. Lin Jinrong did not answer. In fact, she wanted to say a lot, but she didn't know what to say. She stared silently at the fading sunset on the wall until she couldn't see it. Then she said, "Why, just because you look very annoying."
"Girl..." Litchi gently pulled her clothes behind her. Lin Jinrong ignored it and continued, "Every time I meet you, I will have bad luck. No one likes to be with the broom star, so I hope you can stay away from me. Do you understand?
"Shs..." Litchi took a cold breath and looked at Lu Yan in fear, afraid that Lu Yan would attack on the spot. Because Lin Jinrong's performance just now is very rude. If it was caused by Lin Jinrong that Lu Yan fell into the water earlier, it would not be too much for Lu Kun to have an attack.
Lu Yan just lowered his eyelashes, didn't speak for a long time, and his face was not clear.
Lin Jinrong was not surprised by his silence, but asked, "What do you want to eat?" I still have to work with my mother."
Lu Yan then raised his eyes and looked at her: "Crispy Peach Blossom Fish. Your brother said it was delicious.
Do you deserve it? Lin Jinrong was stunned and then sneered, "That fish is mine."
"Peach blossom fish in oily crisp." Lu Yan repeated with certainty: "If you don't say it, I will let Chunya talk to my third aunt. Maybe I will eat it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Maybe Tie Er Niu and Miao Ya will also be happy to catch fish for me.
Lin Jinrong sneered: "You threatened me?" It doesn't matter to herself. At worst, she will look firmly in the future. But this matter is two different for Tie Er Niu, Miao Ya, Litchi and others.
"I just want to eat peach blossom fish." Lu Yan picked up the book indifferently, continued to read, and ignored her.
He didn't say much, and Lin Jinrong didn't say much. He got up and went out.
When I went out, I happened to meet Lin Shiquan swimming over with Liu'er in his arms. He smiled at her and said, "Fourth sister, it's just right. I have something to ask you."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly said, "What's the matter with the third brother?"
Liu'er hummed softly. Lin Shiquan patted her on the back to coax her and said, "It's about that saline land. I think there is extra manpower. It's better to set aside a few to build the ditch dam as soon as possible. When the Tianhe River comes, fill it a few more times, so that we can grow crops early. But I don't know how to build this ditch. I asked my aunt, and she said it was your land. Let me ask you.
It's still early. This matter in the field is indeed not only done by the power of one family. It is unwise to start building ditches and dams now. First, the cost will be higher; second, it will be hard for her to buy the same land in the future. Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "There is no hurry for the time being. Let's do it after I find someone to find out how to build a ditch dam elsewhere. Third brother, you might as well read more books when you have time. Don't always think about working. The future will be long. Seeing that Liuer cried more and more, he said, "What's the matter?"
Lin Shiquan wrinkled his nose and said, "Oh, it stinks. I'm afraid it's shit."
"Relior is a clean girl. She doesn't feel well." Lin Jinrong reached out to pick it up: "Wait for me to hold it to the wet nurse."
Lin Shiquan did not refuse. He gave Liu'er to her and said hesitantly, "Fourth sister, I don't know whether to say something."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "It's okay for the third brother to say it directly."
Lin Shiquan glanced at the door of the west across the courtyard and whispered, "After all, he is a relative. If he is admitted to fame in the future, it will also be good for the seventh brother."
Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment and smiled brightly at Lin Shiquan: "I know, thank you for reminding me."
Lin Shiquan turned around and entered the west across the courtyard and greeted Lu Yan: "Mr. Lu should not sit in the yard and blow the cool breeze when he feels the wind and cold. The wind cold can be big or small. If it is delayed for a long time, it will become a serious disease. It will be bad to delay your exam.
Lu Yan put the book and said, "It's just a minor illness. It's not a big deal."
Lin Shiquan smiled, sat down on the stone bench that Lin Jinrong had sat on earlier, and said, "Please don't meet my fourth sister. She is just a little girl. She was angry earlier, so it's inevitable to have a little temper when she sees you..."
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and smiled, "I know."
Lin Shiquan is still a little worried. Some people speak well, who knows what they are thinking in their hearts? So he specifically asked Lu Yan, "The scenery around here is really good. I told my third aunt that I can show you around and want to make a monument."
Lu Yan had heard about Lin Shiquan's brother and sister in the Lin family earlier. He knew that Lin Shiquan meant to defend Lin Jinrong. At the moment, he smiled indifferently and agreed.
