Chapter 143 Warm Color
Lin Jinrong was particularly impressed by the year when she was 16 years old, not only because she married into the Lu family that year, but also because several things happened that year.
First of all, Lu Yan didn't take the exam that year. Previously, he was going to go, but it was Mr. Zhu Mengqi, who was hidden in the countryside. He suggested that he study for a few more years before going to the exam. Maybe he would get better results. After all, Lu Yan was only 19 years old at that time, and his life had just started. Like his age, countless people are still studying hard in colleges, and many people have never passed the college entrance examination, and they are more confident to take the exam after studying for a few more years. This is a more conservative and pertinent suggestion. After careful consideration, Mr. Lu supported Mr. Zhu's suggestion, so Lu Yan got married at home, had children, studied, and lost children. It was not until she was 19 years old that he went to the exam.
Another thing is Wu Xiang, who went to the exam in a high profile. This Pingzhou prodigy, Xie Yuan of Taiming Mansion,
went to the exam with the eager eyes of countless people, but returned. It's not that he didn't pass the exam, but that he didn't get into the examination room at all. Rumor has it that he offended the son of a powerful man in Beijing. She is not very clear about the specific situation, but in short, she got into trouble. The old man of the Wu family and Wu Fang rushed to the capital and stayed in Beijing for nearly two months before bringing him back. At that time, Lu Yan specially held a banquet to entertain him. She also comfort How much has it converged because of this? However, he passed the exam later and did well in the exam. He stayed in Beijing Middle School. As for how he was doing in Beijing after that, she didn't know. She only knew that he had never been married before she died.
Next year is the year of admonition. She should remind Wu Xiang to be careful not to cause trouble when he enters Beijing for the exam? But she was not very clear about what exactly happened in those years.
Should I remind you? How can I remind you? These are all problems. Jing Jinrong couldn't help but fall into meditation.
There was a sound of footsteps and laughter outside. Miao Ya rushed in and said, "The old man and others are back. Madam, will you serve the food immediately?"
Dow laughed and said, "Prepare, cook. Just like at noon, the man's banquet is still here, and the women's are placed in the east across the courtyard. Don't get confused. Your hands and feet are sharper, and you have to go back after eating.
Everyone was suddenly in a hurry." Lin Jinrong avoided it and walked to the gate of the courtyard. He happened to meet Lu Yan and led Lin Shen in. Lin Shenzhi took a yellow and thorny wild huā in his hand, which looked like a plum branch. The huā color was yellow and gorgeous, but it was lined with a string of tender leaves like jasper. The color was extremely bright. As soon as he saw her, he greeted her: "Fourth sister, this is for you. I'll give it to you. Take it back and insert the bottle to look good.
"Congratulations. You should study hard in the future and don't cause trouble to your husband." Lin Jinrong took over with a smile and said, "You didn't pick it, did you?" She has seen this kind of wild haā, which grows on a relatively high cliff. With Lin Shenzhi's age and skills, it can't be picked by him at all. It's mostly the hands of domestic servants.
Lin Shenzhi glanced at her, looked at Lu Yan, and said with a smile, "I asked Second Brother Lu for help. It grows on the cliff. Does it match your clothes today? You must take it back to insert the bottle and don't let me down. There was still a trace of narrowness in his expression.
Although I am young, I know things and know how to make fun of my sister. Litchi couldn't help it,
He couldn't help but raised the corners of his lips and wink at Lin Shenzhi with approval.
Lin Jinrong was speechless for a moment. He couldn't help but glanced at Lu Yan, but he saw that Lu Yan also looked at her. Both of them looked at each other and were stunned. Lin Jinrong gently led him, staggered his eyes, and touched Lin Shenzhi's head: "Go and wash your hands and eat, don't be complacent." Don't mess with Second Brother Lu."
Then he handed over the gorgeous wild huā in his hand to Litchi, turned around and walked west across the courtyard.
Lu Yan raised her eyes, but saw the spring huā embroidered on her ivory skirt, swaying rhythmically with her pace, just like the spring breeze in spring, fresh and vivid, fresh and touching. He withdrew his eyes and led Lin Shenzhi to the house.
When Tao saw the two of them, he came out of his heart with joy. He hurriedly asked for warmth, and thanked Lu Yan, "Thank you very much. I want you to take more care of your little brother in the future."
Lu Yan liked Tao's simple, which was infected by her cheerful emotions. He couldn't help laughing and said, "My aunt is polite. It's my job to take care of the seventh brother."
A son-in-law, this really came to Dow's heart, and he couldn't help but smile: "I made your favorite crispy peach huā fish. I specially ordered the Tiehuai family to leave a lot for you. Remember to let Changshou go to the kitchen and take it to the college to eat later. It's time to grow up. Don't stay up late at night. In the future, reading is important, but your own body is also important.
A warm color flashed in Lu Yan's eyes. He got up and thanked him. Tao hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile, "It's right for my aunt to take care of my nephew." The two looked at each other and smiled, with a little more tacit understanding. Tao put up with it, but finally couldn't help whispering, "Your fourth sister has a strange temper recently. The girls of this age are a little strange and shy. If she is rude, don't argue with her. Tell me, and I will teach her a lesson."
Lu Yan was silent for a moment and smiled, "She is very good."
Lin Shenzhi stood up and whispered in Tao's ear:... Just now, the fourth sister greeted Second Brother Lu and asked me not to mess with Second Brother Lu." Although she just nodded, at least she took the huā, didn't she?
, "It's clever." Tao pinched his little face pitifully, and turned around and exchanged glances with Gong's mother. As time goes by, it will always get better.
The sun was setting, and the distant mountains were full of clouds. Lu Yan and Zhou Mai stood by the roadside and saw the Lin family leave.
After the last carriage came out of sight, the two of them got on horseback and walked slowly along the Qingliang River towards Mr. Zhu's house.
The warm breeze in the evening brought a little fresh smell of the river. The white pear huā and the pink huā flaps flowed into the distance with the clear river. A group of half-year-old children stood in the shallow water and made a net to fish. From time to time, they let out a cheerful laughter. The sunset made their smiling
Zhou Mai said happily, "It's so lively. This is catching peach huā fish, right?
Lu Yan couldn't help thinking of Lin Jinrong, who squatted on the stones in the river deep in the Qingliang Mountain and laughed wantonly in the spring of that year, and thought of Lin Jinrong's strange and cold appearance today, which came to his mind with a flash of sadness.
Suddenly, several women came over carrying wooden basin clothes and walked and said, "Have you heard that the new woman surnamed He in Qingliang Temple is now lucky. The third wife of the Lin family is willing to pay 30 yuan for her."
"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, your boy didn't say any marriage anyway. Why don't you marry him? Just say it. Maybe I don't even want to hire money.
Zhou Mai heard it clearly. When those women passed by, he laughed and said, "Mrs. Lin San likes to do good deeds. No wonder you can raise a quiet nature like the fourth sister.
Quiet? Lu Yan couldn't help smiling bitterly. Whether she is really quiet or pretends to be quiet,
In a word, she left without bad character. She can do whatever she wants.
When he arrived at Mr. Dezhu's house, Lu Yan ordered Changshou: "Send this crispy peach huā fish to the kitchen, that is to say that the third wife specially ordered the iron mother to drink for the gentleman in order to thank you. If you don't respect it, it's just a little bit of a heart.
Longevity should be answered, and 1 Bu ran and sent it away. After a while, he came back and said, "I happened to meet you, sir. I asked the young master to come over."
Lu Yan hurriedly straightened up his clothes, walked quickly around a forest of apricot huā along the path paved with tiles, walked to a thatched hut, and gently knocked on the door: "Sir." Come in." Mr. Zhu, who was over 50 years old, wore a home-cooked semi-old robe and sat under the lamp, holding a knife and squinting the seal in his hand.
Seeing Lu Yan go in, he casually pointed to the yellowed bamboo chair in front of him: "Sit down."
Lu Yan sat cautiously on half of his buttocks, leaning forward slightly, ready to listen to his teachings at any time.
Mr. Zhu stopped, looked up at his cautious but hard-working student, and smiled kindly: "Xiao Qilang of the Lin family is not only your cousin, but also your future wife and brother, right? I think you are very careful with him. I thought he was young and wanted his family to send it in two years, but for your sake, I deliberately set a precedent.
Everyone knows about this marriage, but Mr. Zhu mentioned it for the first time. Combined with his daytime behavior, Lu Yan's face suddenly turned red, and he stood up and said, "Student"
Mr. Zhu waved his hand to him: "Sit down, don't be restrained. This marriage is good. The third wife of the Lin family and the fourth girl have virtuous names in this area. I just heard from my subordinates that Mrs. Lin helped the woman surnamed He in Qingliang Temple. This is the family of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Not bad."
Lu Yan heard that he said two good things in a row, and gradually relaxed: "Students will definitely urge Shenzhi to study well, and will live up to Mr. Shen's painstaking efforts." I have been adhering to one point of view on things like reading. Those who can read are not necessarily those who can read, and those who can read are not necessarily blessed. You can't force it. Teaching these children to read books and literacy was just hoping that they could know honors and disgraces and learn to be human beings. Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "I came here to tell you about the imperial examination. What did you plan? Will you take the exam next year?
When Lu Yan listened to his words, he seemed to have something to say. After thinking for a moment, he got up and said, "I don't know what you mean?"
Mr. Zhu said, "I suggest you take the exam next time. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't win this time, but I don't think it's sure. It's likely to be right, but it's not satisfactory. If you work hard for a few more years, you will definitely be able to enter the second-class. You are still young, and your life has just started,
It's only good for you to sharpen your nature. Think about it yourself and discuss it with your grandfather,
Come and tell me when you've thought about it. If you don't go, you don't have to write articles with Zhou Mai in the future. I'll find another book for you.
Lu Yan bowed a deep salute and gently retreated. Back to the [room], I couldn't help frowning when I thought of my bet with Wu Xiang. He knows that his talent is not as good as Wu Xiang's, and he relies on hard work. In this exam, Wu Xiang will definitely go. Will he barely fight or slow down?
I,
