Chapter 184 Preface
To be honest, Lin Jinrong doesn't think there is anything rare about this hole. You can't go in and see. You can only look outside and throw a stone in. You can't hear the sound. It's nothing more than satisfying some people's desire to go out.
The fisherman probably felt that the rich young master and grandmothers were full of food and had nothing to do, so he looked at a cave with nothing so far away, but the employer was the biggest. After throwing the stone, he hugged his arms and smiled. Litchi was very supportive of the venue and asked a few boring questions. Changshou picked up a few stones and handed them to Lin Jinrong: "Grandma, do you want to throw one?"
Lin Jinrong smiled and threw one piece after another.
Lu Yan squeezed his lips, looked up at the sky, and said listlessly, "It's good to shine. Go back."
In the sunset, the black canopy boat slowly walked forward in the waves. Lu Yan took the bamboo flute and played it. Lin Jinrong sat in the bow of the boat and watched the fisherman cook in silence.
There is not much to do in the old house, and there are no elders to serve. In addition, Lu Yan also consciously reduces his reading time and often goes out to walk around. There is always a meal every day that is not eaten at home. After recuperate, Lin Jinrong panicked, so he took lychee and beans together, walked along the high and cold courtyard walls, and walked through the yard that could be entered.
Mr. Lu is a good man. There is never a shortage of grain at home, but it is all new grain in those years. Every year, when the new grain enters the warehouse, when the grain is out of the warehouse, there will be no waste, and it is also very full. There are five or six wells, all of which are old. The stones at the mouth of the well have been polished by the years.
Mrs. Yu, who is guarding the old house, is already in her sixties, and she is still very energetic. Seeing that Lin Jinrong seems to be very interested in the old house, she has to introduce: "Grandma, the masters of the family don't like the old house very much. They think the old house is narrow and cold, but in High walls and thick walls to avoid the military disaster. How to say it?" Lin Jinrong's heart moved. He ordered Litchi to move a house for Mrs. Yu, poured the tea soup and handed it over. The master and servant sat in the yard together in the sun and listened to Mrs. Yu talk about ancient times.
It was rare for Mrs. Yu to have contact with her masters. When she saw the new grandmother, she was naturally very happy. She held a tea cup and told her everything she knew one by one: "When the old slave was a little girl, I heard the old people in the family say that Darong and us were not so close in those years. At that time The soldiers and horses came over, burned, killed and looted, no matter how bad it is.
One spring, he came from Qingzhou, killed Pingzhou, and then came here. The old man at home escaped the military disaster with this high wall and thick wall.
Lin Jinrong frowned and said, "I'm afraid those soldiers will retreat quickly, right? There are not many people?" She felt that even the walls of Qingzhou and Pingzhou could not stand it. How could a small old house of the Lu family withstand it? Most of them are a small group of scattered soldiers.
Mrs. Yu smiled awkwardly: "That's probably the case. Lao Nusheng didn't see it with his own eyes. Anyway, he knew that there was such a thing. Many of the people of the clan are hiding in this yard. Grandma doesn't believe it. Anyone who is old can ask.
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Then you don't have to ask." He turned his head and asked Litchi to give Mrs. Yu a plate of pastry and dozens of money.
Mrs. Yu was so happy: "What else does grandma want to know? Just ask the old slave. In this old house, the old slave is the most familiar.
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "That's all for today. If you have any questions, please come and talk to me."
When it came to Mrs. Yu, Lin Jinrong took a closer look at the courtyard wall, and found an excuse to look at the thick and heavy door. He couldn't help thinking, can he really resist it? When the rioters first made trouble, they were panicked. Some people once said that it was better to go back to the old house, but they were sneered at. The walls of Pingzhou City could not be blocked. Can a small yard be blocked? After that, the rebellion quickly deserted into the mountains, and no one took it seriously. When the bandits suddenly entered Pingzhou City, it was too late for everything, so no one had ever tried to make it work.
But in fact, she won't know whether it works or not, because at the last minute, she won't appear here at all. And the Lu clan in Chishui, who want to have that experience in the previous generations, will inevitably come in and hide as usual at that time. Lin Jinrong shook his head and pressed the matter into his heart.
When Lu Qian returned home in the evening, he saw that Lin Jinrong was leading Litchi and others to pack up his things and hurriedly said, "Isn't it only the eighth day of the first lunar month today? Why did you pack up?"
Lin Jinrong said, "I had to discuss it with you yesterday, but I forgot it later. Although my grandfather asked us to go back on the tenth day of the lunar new year, he couldn't really live until that time. It's better to go back two days in advance. This will show that they miss the elders of the family, and everyone looks good.
Lu Yan was silent for a moment and said, "You have arranged these things."
Lin Jinrong saw that he was a little unhappy. He guessed that he didn't want to go back, and he didn't care about him. He packed up his own things. From tomorrow on, she will stand in front of the Lu family in a different way than before. Song, Lv, Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun, no one can stop her footsteps.
At noon on the second day, Lin Jinrong's carriage drove to the gate of the Lu family and received different treatment. The door lowered the threshold quickly and respectfully came to salute. Of course, it was like this every time before, but when people's psychology changed, the feeling transmitted was completely different.
This change is not only noticed by Lu Yan, who was riding outside, but also felt by Lin Jinrong, who was sitting in the carriage. She heard Lu Yan lightly tell Changshou to take money to the door to buy wine and eat,
The door said a lot of good words.
When she arrived at the second door, the carriage stopped. Seeing the woman of the second door, she rushed up, took a stool, and raised the curtain to help Lin Jinrong get out of the car. She didn't see each other for a day: "It's really the second grandmother. Go and tell the second master and the second grandmother are back."
At this time, Lin Jinrong will no longer hold the shelf, get out of the car with the woman's hand with a smile, and tell Litchi, "Mom, thank you for your hard work. Take some money to give your mother to drink."
The old woman answered with a smile and said a few more auspicious words, which turned out to be endless. It was not until Lu Yan frowned that he stopped. He smiled and ordered someone to clean up the carriage.
The husband and wife had no time to clean up. First, they went to Juxian Pavilion and Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu was very happy and said kindly, "Why don't you stay for a few more days? Didn't I ask you to stay until the tenth day of the first lunar month and then come back?
Lu Yan smiled and looked at Lin Jinrong: "A Rong said that our grandfather is decent, and we have to cherish it more."
Lin Jinrong followed: "Grandpa's pity, I haven't heard of anyone's bride as blessed as me. You have to cherish your blessings.
These words greatly pleased Mr. Lu. The old man smiled so much that his two thick eyebrows shrugged: "Good girl, just cherish your blessings. Fortune is not a mess."
Lin Jinrong's palm leached a layer of thin sweat, and he looked more and more respectful and careful.
Mr. Lu glanced at her and asked Lu Yan, "Goodbye, you can get to know the people in the clan, right?"
Lu Yan lowered his hand and replied, "In the past few days, my grandson has walked next to each other, and I can recognize him clearly if he is over ten years old."
"Good!" Master Lu patted him on the shoulder with approval and said earnestly, "You should read well, but you can't read dead. The whole family will have dinner in Rongjingju tonight. I will arrange for Arong to be the housekeeper with your second aunt. Ah Rong, are you afraid?" Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Don't be afraid." What's the use of being afraid? If you have come to this point, you can only succeed but not fail. Otherwise, if she is even restricted from entering and leaving the house, how can she do what she wants to do?
Mr. Lu signaled them to go next door with him to meet Lu Yu in a very good mood.
Lu Lun's sad face was as usual, and his eyebrows frowned into eight-character eyebrows, which looked like life was worse than death. Lu Jin sat there quietly and wrote. His face was a little ruddy, and he also had a few taels of meat, which did not look as ugly as before.
Mr. Lu coughed, and Lu Lun fell down. Lu immediately got up and stood up. He politely greeted Mr. Lu. He turned to Lu and Lin Jinrong, his lips moved, and shouted in a very low voice, "Second brother, second sister-in-law."
Lu Yan answered very seriously, "Eat well, exercise well, and study hard."
Lu Jin lowered his eyes and didn't squeak.
Mr. Lu said solemnly, "Huh?" With a sound, Lu Jin immediately reluctantly said, "Yes." But from beginning to end, he didn't want to look up at Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong.
Lu Yan's face faintly showed a little interest, and he was not in the mood to stay. Master Lu saw it clearly and waved his hand to let him and Lin Jinrong go back.
Mrs. Lu had known this arrangement for a long time, so she had to encourage Lin Jinrong to go to bed early.
When the husband and wife came out of Rongjingju, they met Mr. Tu, who came to "greet greetings to Mrs. Lu". Today, Mr. Tu was completely opposite to the previous image of the disease. He wore a jujube red orange, shook the branches on his head, and used a little powder. He held Lin Jinrong's hand Yes. You all know it. If there is any embarrassment in the future, you can use mine, just say it. Whatever I can do, I will try my best to do it.
"Thank you for your concern." Lin Jinrong smiled, and Tu let go of her hand again and went straight to the key goal: "Erlang, you go to study at ease. I have me at home. I will take good care of A Rong for you."
Lu Yan was silent and whispered, "The third aunt should take care of her body at ease. Don't worry about other things if you don't have to worry about them. The sixth brother is still young. Now he looks a little better. If you are free, you might as well make something he likes to deliver. Grandpa also works hard.
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Yes, the third aunt, don't worry about me. Take good care of it."
Tu Shi looked at Lu Yan, then at Lin Jinrong, and nodded gently: "As long as you are all fine, I'm relieved."
