Chapter 222 Rainy Night

The night is getting darker, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and Pingzhou City is gradually quiet. I don't know if it's because there is a sudden ocean outside the city, and there is a little more wetness in the air, as if it's going to rain, tidal and deserted.

At the end of Qingyang Street, a small shop is uniquely clean outside, and the big red lantern hanging high on the bamboo pole is also particularly eye-catching. Lin Shiquan and Lu Yan stood under the lamp and whispered. They just sent away two brothers and a nephew of Ma Zhuangtou and Ma Zhuangtou. Because Lu Yan showed full sincerity, Ma Zhuangtou also deliberately brought his helper to them to show them. Several people talked happily. In the fragrance of wine and coriander, they gave all the major events of the next two years in harmony. He gave a high-five as an oath, and there was no regret.

Lin Shiquan exhaled gently and asked Lu Yan with a smile, "What's the matter? Don't you worry?"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Is there anything you read badly?"

Lin Shiquan also smiled: "No matter how well you read it, someone will listen to it."

The two smiled at each other and said goodbye to each other.

Lu Yan got on the horse and gently hit the horse's abdomen. The horse snapped his nose and stepped steadily on the road. Changshou has followed him since he was a child. He knows him best. Seeing that he seems to be in a good mood, he smiled and said, "Second Master, what good things have happened to you today? Can you tell the little one to listen to it and let the little one be happy?

Lu Yan looked ahead and raised the corners of his lips: "Isn't it just the matter of Ma Zhuangtou? This is a big deal."

Changshou looked at him and just smiled. Lu Yan was a little embarrassed to laugh. He gently raised his whip and whipped Changshou, and scolded, "You laugh so ugly, thief's eyes."

Longevity said unjustly, "The second master is really, can't he laugh and not let anyone laugh?"

A bright light flashed in the sky, and the dull thunder blew from a cool breeze from afar to near, rolling up a thin layer of dust and covering people's faces. Lu Yan raised his eyes and saw that there was no starlight in the sky. It was dark and he hurriedly said, "Go faster. I'm afraid it's going to rain." Both the master and servant whipped the horse's buttocks, and then smashed the raindrops about ten feet away.

Longevity can't complain: "This day will change no matter what." The two of them didn't bring rain gear. After thinking about it, they had to take off their clothes and give them to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan poked him with the whip and said, "Don't take it off. It's ugly to take it off. Run!"

So both of them let go of the reins and let the horse rush forward. Even if the horse ran fast, it could not run through the rain. By the time they rushed to the door of Lufu, they had become drowned. When the door opened the door and saw this situation, he couldn't help but be surprised: "How did the second master get caught in the rain?"

Longevity said angustly, "It will rain in the sky. Of course, the second master will get caught in the rain if he doesn't bring rain gear."

That door was carefully selected by Fan Bao recently. He is a little old, and he is also an old family member. He is also familiar with longevity. When he hears the words, he scolded: "You lazy son of a bitch, you go out without rain gear to hurt the second master in the rain. You still have something to say."

Longevity deliberately made him angry: "Uncle Er Shuan knew it would rain, but he didn't remind us when he saw us going out."

Lu Yan didn't care that the two of them took out a clean handkerchief and wiped his head and face. He took the blue cloth umbrella handed over by the door and whispered to Changshou: "Take the horse down quickly, change your clothes, and ask General Manager Fan to go to the Snow Pavilion in half an hour. I have something to ask

Longevity dare not neglect, go quickly. Lu Yan held an umbrella in one hand and a lantern in the other hand. He walked in the rain to his small yard and saw that the courtyard door, which had been tightly closed for a long time, was not closed today. Mrs. Zhang held her two hands and stood by the door and looked around, then coughed in a low voice.

Mrs. Zhang heard the sound and saw that it was Lu Yan coming alone. She quickly ran forward to pick up the lantern in his hand, took the umbrella in the other hand, and said flatteringly, "Master, are you finally back? The second grandma asked several times. Let the maidservant wait for you here.

Lu Yan said "um" indifferently and entered the door silently. Mrs. Zhang shouted in, "The second master is back."

Lin Jinrong greeted Lu Yan in front of the door. While listening to him talk about Ma Zhuangtou, he helped him take off his wet coat and said, "I have prepared hot water for you. Is it time to bubble to go to the cold now?"

Lu Yan said, "I have an appointment with Fan Bao, and I'm going to listen to Xue Ge soon. Just wipe it." After saying that, he turned to the back of the screen.

Lin Jinrong went to get clean clothes, shoes and socks. As soon as he hung them on the hanger, he heard Lu Yan say, "Arong, come and help me wipe my back."

Lin Jinrong squeezed his lips and walked behind the screen. As soon as he entered, his face turned sideways, and his face was red by the light: "What are you doing?"

Lu Yan calmly turned the handkerchief away: "It's all soaked."

Lin Jingrong lowered his eyes and pointed to the bathtub: "It's wet, and the water is ready-made. It's better to sit in and soak it. Don't catch a cold like this."

Lu Yan looked at her twice, stepped into the bathtub and sat down: "Since it's all wet, why don't you wash your hair by the way?"

Lin Jinrong said, "Didn't you let Manager Fan wait for you?"

Lu Yan said, "There is still half an hour left. There's no time."

Lin Jinrong said nothing more. He took the bath beans and quickly washed them for him. In the water vapor, Lu Yan suddenly whispered!" A Rong, you really don't want to go with me?,...

"Huh?" Lin Jinrong grabbed a large dry handkerchief to wipe his hair: "Where are you going?" Lu Yan said, "Let's go to the Snow Pavilion together. You read the book in the back, I talk to Manager Fan in the front, and then come back together. How are you?,...

What he wants to say to Fan Bao, she doesn't have to think about it. However, thinking that he discussed with others in front of him to deal with others, he hid behind their backs and listened to them. He was a little dark villain, and he felt that his man would stand up for him. Lin Jinrong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not good to let Manager Fan know."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "What's wrong? He is a trustworthy person and very capable. If you can have more contact with him, it will only be good for you. That's the old man. As long as the old man lives for a day, his status will be styrann, which is not what Lu Jianzhong or Song and others can control. If he can be taken care of, Lin Jinrong will get twice the result with half the effort in the backyard.

However, Lin Jinrong knew that such a capable and loyal servant was forced to faint in front of Mr. Lu's spirit only a hundred days after the death of Mr. Lu. Although he didn't die, he was forced to go far away after only 50 taels of silver. The elders of the three dynasties are legends,

is more of a emperor and a courtier.

Lu Li put on his shoes and tightened his belt: "Let's go.

Litchi hurriedly raised the umbrella, Guiyuan held the lamp, and sent the two of them to listen to the Snow Pavilion. Lu Yan walked slowly and looked around, "It's not bad to watch the rain at night."

Lin Jinrong said, "Looking at the scenery and the rain is just looking at the mood."

Lu was silent for a moment and smiled in a low voice: "Arong is right. So how do you feel when you look at the rain at this moment?

Lin Jinrong said, "That's good." Lu Yan quietly shook her hand and stopped talking.

In a minute, when he arrived at the Snow Pavilion, Fan Bao had already come. Seeing that Lin Jinrong was also accompanied, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then he went forward with a smile to greet him. Lu Yan said, "Arong, you go and pour tea for the big stoler." The gift of receiving Fan Bao is the master and servant's job. Lin Jinrong poured tea for him with his own hands, but he was particularly decent. Fan Bao pretended to refuse. Seeing that Lu Yan was not hypocritical and Lin Jinrong was not perfunctory, he also accepted it safely.

Lin Jinrong waited for the two of them to sit still, so he quietly went to the back, but he did not look for a book to read, but listened to the two of them quietly.

Lu Yan didn't say a word about the second room. He only said that Lin Jinrong had just taken over the warehouse. He was nervous and didn't know the origin and preciousness of the things he was in charge of. He wanted to ask Fan Bao for advice.

Fan Baoguo really picked up the most important things and said it. Lin Jinrong didn't mention them one by one. In an instant, Lu Yan mentioned Mrs. Meng: "I can speak. It looks extremely capable, but it seems to be too lively." Fan Bao was so old that he knew that Lu Yan was cleaning up the obstacles for Lin Jinrong and helping Lin Jinrong stand firm. What's more, the old master didn't know the good thing that Mrs. Meng did. Sooner or later, he would do it, so he said, "This man is really capable, but I'm afraid he won't obey the second grandmother's discipline. If she can, she should be given another suitable position. But the person who takes over is also very important. If it doesn't work, it will be messy.,...

That is to say, Mrs. Meng can't move easily and must find a two-pronged strategy. Seeing that he said frankly, Lu Yan said, "It's not right away. Now I just want to know something about her first so that I can have a response."

Fan Bao said, "I know. After listening to it, the little one will ask someone to talk to the second grandma. When Lu Yan's goal was achieved, he no longer left him and sent him out of the door in person.

Fan Bao, holding an umbrella alone, slowly walked out of the Snow Pavilion, turned three times, and turned into the Juxian Pavilion. Mr. Lu hadn't fallen asleep yet. He was looking at the big account of his family's business under the lamp. When he saw him coming in, he didn't say much, but only pointed to the teapot beside him.

Fan Bao hurriedly poured a thick cup of tea for him: "The little one just came from the Snow Pavilion. The second master and the second grandmother asked the little one a few words.

Master Lu suddenly became a little interested and raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Oh? This is really rare. What did you ask?" Fan Bao told the story of the incident with a smile and concluded, "It's good to see them, and the second grandmother is also very kind."

Mr. Lu thought for a moment and said, "Just do what they say." Don't be too obvious." Yes." Fan Bao is not surprised that he will have such a reaction. Since the old master intends to hand over the family business to Lu Yan, this is an inevitable process. But many things are difficult for the old man to do by himself. He can only rely on Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong to do it by himself. There are some things that can't be kept by others. They must grab them by themselves and learn how to protect and guard them in the process of grabbing.

The moment Fan Bao withdrew, he heard Master Lu say very low, "I've grown up." There is a little relief in the voice, but there is also a little sadness.
