Chapter 102 Papa
I,
,
Master Lin San brushed his beard, frowned and asked Lu Yan, "Why are you here?" When I went to your house earlier, your mother said that you were still in Taiming Mansion and had sent someone to pick you up, but you were here. What's going on? Does the family know?" Wu Xiang couldn't say it. He couldn't afford it, but it was reasonable to scold him no matter what he said.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and said, "In the words of the third uncle, my nephew wrote a letter to the family and got his grandfather's permission, otherwise he would not dare to walk around. I have never received a letter from my mother, and I have never met anyone to pick me up. However, my uncle reminded me that I should often write back to explain where I am, so as not to let the elders in the family worry about it. Obviously, it was against Lin Yuzhen's will, but he pushed it cleanly, answered without omission, and his attitude was impeccable. Tao listened with a teacup. He vaguely felt that the reason why Lu Yan came to the Tao family to celebrate Wu's birthday and sent a generous gift was that he took good care of him in Zhuangzi and was innocently angry with Lin Yuzhen. He wanted to compensate her, so he wanted to defend Lu Yan in his heart. But Master Lin is now asking about this. It is reasonable for the elders to care about the younger generation. The child also answered well, so he did not interrupt.
Master Lin San really had nothing to say, but said, "So where do you live now? What are you here for? Lu Yan said regularly, "I live in a friend's house. Uncle, don't worry, his family is also a serious student, and his family is innocent." But he didn't answer what was going on.
Master Lin San asked closely, "What's your last name? Where do you live? Before he finished speaking, he heard a "pop". Master Lin San raised his eyes and saw Wu Xiang hanging his head carelessly fiddling with the teacup in his hand. It seemed that he didn't mean it, so he ignored him and continued to listen to Lu Yan's answer.
Lu Yan said unhurriedly, "It's Gu. He lives in the west of the city."
Mr. Dow often wincates at Mr. Lin, which means that he wants you to take care of such details in other people's private affairs? Is your girl so decent and worth you acting for her? Your sister will rely on this in the future. "Why do you offend people for nothing? Just ask to express your concern and leave. Why do you have to be so disgusted?
Master Lin ignored Tao and continued to show his power. He was about to open his mouth when Wu Xiang clicked again. He stared at Wu Xiang discontentedly. Wu Xiang didn't feel anything and didn't raise his head.
So he put up with it and wanted to open his mouth again. "Bang" made another sound. He stared angrily again. This time, Wu Xiang looked at him, and his eyes were a kind of unspeakable impatience.
Master Lin San can't stand it, but it's not easy to attack. He can't blame Wu Xiang, saying that he should not make that cup, and he is also afraid that he said something, but Wu Xiang rudely sprayed back in front of everyone. Isn't it a big shame? So he was so angry that he couldn't ask any more questions.
Wu Shi hurriedly said, "I said that Lu Yan, you are too polite. Knowing that we are here, we are very happy to come and visit relatives. What other gifts do you bring?"
Lu Yan replied seriously, "When I went back to my aunt's words, I didn't hear from my third aunt say earlier. I don't know it's your birthday. The gift was prepared in a hurry and I couldn't take it out. Please forgive me."
When Dow saw that he mentioned his own home, he really gave himself face. He was quite happy and hurriedly said, "This child has always been thoughtful and polite.
Tao Shunqin interrupted in time: "The Gu family in the west of the city? I also recognize it. The situation of his family is not very good. It's not easy for orphans and widows. Don't bother his family and move here. It's fun to be with your cousins. With that, he wanted to ask someone to carry luggage for Lu Yan.
Lin Jinrong sat aside and glanced at Lu Yan, but saw Lu Yan stand up and bow to the end: "Thank you for your hospitality. My nephew will come to congratulate me when he stays until my aunt's birthday, and I won't disturb him the rest of the time."
Everyone didn't expect him to refuse. Tao Shunqin frowned and looked at Master Lin San. Master Lin quickly advised, "Why are you so ignorant? Your uncle Tao kindly invited you, but you want to refuse? Isn't it good to live with us and take care of each other? It's time to go all the way home.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and said, "It's not that I don't know how to praise, but I agreed with this friend earlier that he lent me a house to live in, and I lent him a book to show him. If I move away, he will be embarrassed to read my book again. The corners of her eyes glanced at Lin Jinrong. Seeing that she looked pale, she had a somewhat indescribable taste.
Tao Shunqin was silent for a moment and said, "In that case, that's all. The child of the Gu family loves books as much as his life, but he suffers from the poverty of his family and can't get what he wants. His mother's temperament is quite rigorous and extremely strict.
This is convenient for him, but do you get used to living in his house? Lu Yan smiled and said, "Clean and comfortable, clean and tidy, very good." Tao Fengxiang laughed at Wu Xiang in a low voice: "Second cousin, you have a lot of problems. You have to take the cook wherever you go... Look at the second brother Lu, who grew up like you, but he can be at ease with the situation, and he doesn't care about the family at all."
Wu Xiang didn't think so: "Life is short. Why can't you enjoy it? Don't think he's good, he's enjoying it. We just want to be different." Then he raised his eyebrows at Lin Jinrong and smiled, "Fourth sister, do you think I'm right?" Lin Jinrong knew what he meant. Lu Yan was living up to the feeling of not being controlled by others. He smiled, but did not answer. Her eyes were sharp. Seeing Gong's mother coming forward and saying a few words close to Tao's ear, Tao looked at her with a bad face. She knew what it was for, but she had figured it out, so she didn't care.
Not long after, Tao Fengqing came in and said that the banquet was ready and everyone was invited to the banquet, so he divided the men and women as usual and ate their own.
After dinner, the Tao family looked up and scolded Lin Jinrong fiercely behind the back of the Tao family. Lin Jinrong did not argue with her. She said everything: "I won't talk to my cousin of the Lu family in the future. I will be very polite to him. I won't lose face to you, and I won't let
Dow was made to lose her temper by her, so she had to squeeze her cheek twice: "You!
When will you really grow up? Don't you understand yet? What does a woman rely on in her mother-in-law's house? The first is that the son is promising, the second is that his mother's family is reliable, and the third is that he is rich. No matter how hateful your aunt is, but if you have something to ask for in the future, even for the face of the Lin family, she will not really ignore you, and Lu Yan, this child still has a conscience..."
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and said nothing. She agreed with the first three points, but later, hehe............
The men outside were drunk and hot. Master Lin was respected in the Tao family and lived much faster than in his own home. So he got drunk at home and pulled Tao Shunqin to chatter. First, how good was the relationship between the two brothers in those years, and how much the gold and stones he had hidden was worth, indicating that Lin Jinyin He married Tao Fengtang, and he wanted to give them two valuable bronze Yi to their family.
Tao Fengtang smiled and thanked Master Lin generously with a smile on the corners of his lips.
Master Lin San's drunken eyes are hazy: "My A Yin is the most virtuous and sensible, and everything is excellent. When you enter the door of your house, you must be good to her, otherwise, otherwise..." He fell on the table and couldn't wake up drunk.
Wu Xiang couldn't help laughing. Tao Fengju lay on the table and laughed silently. Lin Shenzhi held a bowl of soup and pouted his mouth with some grievance. Tao Shunqin touched his forehead helplessly and stared at the children. Although Master Lin was drunk, at least he said what a father should say. Lin Laosan is also very good-looking. Looking at a decent person, how can he become more and more disabled?
Smiling kindly at his brothers, Tao Fengtang was slightly embarrassed. He went forward to help Third Master Lin and was ready to send him back to his room to rest, but he saw Lu Yan also stand up and hold Third Master Lin's other arm: "Big cousin, I'll help you." Tao Shunqin was slightly surprised and squinted at Lin Yuzhen's heir. Lu Yan seemed to feel something. He smiled at him gently and helped Master Lin out.
Master Lin San was as drunk as mud, and it was a little difficult to hold him. Tao Fengtang and Lu Yan worked together to send him to the room and give him to the Lin family, and then went out together.
At that time, Jinwu fell, the jade rabbit was rising, the evening wind gently brushed, and the fragrance of osmanthus from the courtyard in the distance seemed to be nothing. The two teenagers walked side by side, silent and didn't want to break the tranquility.
After walking for a while, Tao Fengtang was afraid that Lu Yan would feel neglected, so he said, "Lu Xiandi, my mother's birthday is the day after next. Come and play early."
Lu Yan smiled and said, "I will definitely come." After enduring it, he whispered, "Actually, I have something to ask my cousin for a favor."
Tao Fengtang was surprised: "What's the matter?" Lu Yan said awkwardly, "I overheard you about buying and selling grain and incense medicine earlier..." Tao Fengtang immediately understood and said with a smile, "Well, do you want to have the same fun as Wu Xiang?"
Lu Yan hesitated for a moment and almost nod, but shook his head gently.
I just received his heavy gift, and this person has not been annoying so far. Maybe he will continue to deal with him in the future, so Tao Fengtang said cautiously, "To be honest, I haven't discussed this matter with my father yet. What to do in the end has to be decided by him.
But if you want to do it, you can try the food, and you should not lose money. He didn't mention the incense, just because the transaction under the incense was not enough for outsiders. Even if the Lu family did this kind of thing, it could not be taken to the table casually.
Lu Yan naturally heard it and didn't bother. He just said, "I'm not familiar with the place, and it's my first contact. I'm afraid I'm going to trouble my big cousin."
Tao Fengtang thought to himself that if he really wanted to do it, it was not difficult to help him be a middle-aged man. He thought that his father would not blame himself, so he would have the courage to respond.
Lu Yan thanked me solemnly and said for a long time, "Big cousin, I have difficulties. Please keep it a secret for me."
