Chapter 256 Cooperation
Lu Yan didn't care too much about Lin Jinrong's advice.
He felt that no matter how capable the female custollors in the inner court were, they knew little about these things. It's okay to comfort and forgive, but if you really want to solve the problem, you still have to rely on the outside court guans. But he couldn't casually refute Lin Jinrong's kindness and said, "You're right. But I think that Widow Sun also has her husband's family or mother's family, and she will definitely ask those people to make the decision for her. That's not inconvenient."
What he said was the way to deal with it under normal circumstances, which was understandable, but she knew that it was not pleasing. Lin Jinrong simply said, "Yes, the conduct of our keepers is trustworthy, and I hope she can meet a brother like my uncle who only thinks for her sisters. I hope she doesn't meet a bad uncle who fishes in troubled waters and bullies orphans and widows. Amitabha, Bodhisattva's estimation.
This was a little ironic. When Litchi heard it, he wanted to laugh and worried, and couldn't help secretly glance at Lu Yan. But seeing Lu Yan's lips and looking at Lin Jinrong, Lin Jinrong looked at him with nothing to do, with an innocent face.
Lu Yan was a little helpless: "Don't think too much. Of course, it seems that uncles and others are rare, but there are not so many bad people. I know everything about the outside, and I must choose a trustworthy person to do it. According to you, you are more familiar with the woman in the inner courtyard than me. Who do you think is more suitable to go? Women should always be careful and soft-hearted. She thinks it's good, so it's like this. There is no need to be angry about this kind of thing.
He thought that he wanted to make her happy. Lin Jinrong said with a straight face, "You must think I'm a woman's heart. But I only remember to put myself in the shoes, be careful, and never lose.
It's not easy for orphans and widows. If they can make their own decisions, who would want to ask for help? Just like me, if I can show my face and take care of my makeup myself, why do I always bother others? It's just a little troublesome for you. "It's a big deal for her to settle down."
When Lu Yan heard what she said, he gradually restrained his expression. He got up and saluted her deeply and said, "Arong, you're absolutely right." I'm not thinking about it."
Lin Jinrong was not sure that he would do this. In a flash, he thought that he was doing him a favor. What's the point of saluteing himself?
Litchi hurried over and drank a cup of tea for the two of them and said with a smile, "The second master and grandma really respect each other.
Lu Yan smiled, handed tea to Lin Jinrong, and asked again, "Arong, who do you think is better to go?"
Lin Jinrong looked at the lychee: "Let her go."
Litchi was shocked" and pointed to his home in disbelief: "Grandma, are you kidding?"
Lu Yan is also strange. Although the lychee is capable, it has nothing to do. The young woman who was born in the inner courtyard and grows in the inner courtyard is much more suitable even if it is Fangzhu.
"Yes, it's her. She is the person around me, and she acts safely. There is no one more suitable than her. Lin Jinrong made up his mind. For the future, Litchi can only look at the accounts and settle accounts. He has to learn to stand alone. Now it is a good opportunity.
Litchi was a little nervous, and a little excited, only to see that Lu Yan did not agree. Lu Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Well, my powerful man will protect her."
Lin Jinrong half-joking and half-seriously reminded him: "I'm afraid that someone will joke with you and say that you have to do such a thing together." This is a euphemism. To put it bluntly, it's a joke that he is not promising. It's a shame that he needs his wife to help him with such a little thing.
Lu Yan said lightly, "I'll answer him, this is your kindness and thoughtfulness."
Lin Jinrong was speechless for a moment" he got up and said, "I'm tired after sleeping."
The next day, Lin Jinrong called Litchi and told her to go out with Lu Yan. But he thought that someone would say something about it. At that time, Lin Yuzhen must be uncomfortable again. 1
Then she went to find Lin Yuzhen and took the initiative to bring up this matter: "On a cold day, it is not easy for orphans and widows. If others are not good, you can come to the door to look for her, but it is not easy for her woman's family not only to go out, but also to avoid suspicion. Grandfather gave the second master this opportunity to show his face. It's not big or small. We have to take the opportunity to support the reputation of the long room. Good fame is better than bad reputation.
Although Lin Yuzhen didn't take it seriously, because it was not a big deal, she didn't pay attention to it and followed Lin Jinrong's wishes. Sure enough, it was only half an hour since he went out of Litchi, and he knew about it inside and outside. Soon someone secretly rumored that Lin Jinrong stretched out his hand too long and was too wide, and Lu Yan indulged her too much.
When Mr. Lu heard about this, he smiled faintly, dialed his beloved upside-down sparrow, and Fan Bao said, "She knows how to build momentum for herself." After three or two more such things, the second grandmother of the Lu family is so kind that her reputation is getting louder and louder. With this alone, Lin Jinrong is much more shrewd than Lv's.
Fan Bao laughed and said, "It's not a bad thing."
Mr. Lu replied, "I hope she can do a good job of this virtuous assistant." Lin Jinrong's good reputation can bring benefits to Lu Yan and even the whole Lu family. Of course, he won't care about it. And it's small
The husband and wife work together to discuss what they do, which is the result he is happy to see, and he will not care about it.
The rumor blew like the wind for a while. Seeing that the two elders of the Lu family and Lin Yuzhen did not respond, they dissipated without a trace.
Although the snow has stopped, the weather has not cleared up. On the contrary, it is colder. The snow on the roof of the wall was frozen hard, and it looked white and pleasing to the eyes. The snow on the street, which was trampled by people and cars, turned into water, mixed with the mud and turned into mud. Dirty and unspeakable.
Widow Sun can't care about this. She and her only son's grocery store were burned by the fire of the Lu family's shop, leaving only half of the ruins and a few houses of sorghum. Seeing that there was no food and clothing, how could she not be in a hurry?
Even if the Lu family promised to compensate her, she didn't know how much she could come back, and it was not impossible for Hao Qiang to bully others. Therefore, early in the morning, she set out from her relative's house, took her thirteen-year-old son, Hutou, and walked across the mud on the street. She stood on the ruins of her shop and house. She wanted to find out how many unburned bricks, tiles and wood could still be used, so she had to put them away so as not
While looking for the mother and son, they piled up the usable bricks and tiles. Although they were not a rich family, they had not done these hard work, and soon they could not be supported. The tiger head felt sorry for Widow Sun and said, "Mom, forget it. You can't save much from this hard work."
Widow Sun cried, "Don't save a little bit. This is the only thing your father left us. In the future, he will still rely on it to marry you. Now the fire is gone." How can I have the face to see your father?"
Suddenly, a man in gray came over, stood there for a rest, and greeted the tiger's head in a loud voice: "Brother, is this homestead yours?"
The tiger nodded: "It's my house."
The man laughed: "Your shop is the closest to the Lu family." I heard that his family was going to buy it and expand his shop. If you want to find a middle-aged person, please remember to go to the front street to find me. My surname is Department, and I'm known as Laoqi. I'm sure to ask for a good price for you.
The tiger head answered stupidly, and Widow Sun spit out: "Boh! Who said we were going to sell it? Get out of here!"
The old seven didn't think so, "I smiled and left.
Widow Sun is indignant: "This is a matter of breaking people's roots, don't sell it! I don't sell it. I'm going to rebuild it and leave it to you in the future before I have the face to see your father.
Hu Tou said, "What if his family must buy it? What should we do? The second cousin said, "We can't afford to provoke the Lu family at all."
Widow Sun was silent for a long time and said with hatred, "Then I'll die to show them!"
Suddenly, a woman said gently, "Is this sister-in-law surnamed Sun?"
Widow Sun stopped and looked at the people coming. People wear a bean-blue hooded cloak, an autumn-colored satin jacket, a cyan embroidered skirt, and a gold pendant hanging on his ears. He is ten years old, and his face is beautiful. His smile is kind. There was also a woman in a blue cloth skirt and a silver hairpin beside her. A carriage was parked not far away. The driver and a man who looked like a manager of a rich family were talking in a low voice.
Widow Sun immediately became alert: "Who are you? What are you going to do?
The woman smiled and said, "I'm the girl next to the second grandmother of the Lu family. Her name is Litchi. My second grandmother heard that you are an orphan and a widow, and it's not easy to be considerate of you. "Let me come to see you for her." As he spoke, he motioned the woman to hand over a money bag: "I'm so tired that you are homeless. I'm really embarrassed. Please take this money with the emergency first. Other matters will be discussed, and my second master will order someone to send the money again.
Widow Sun doesn't take the money" ** said, "What do you want? I will never sell a shop."
Litchi remembered Lin Jinrong's instructions before going out and quickly asked, "Who said he wanted to buy your shop?" My master never said that. Sister-in-law Sun, tell me quickly. Who borrowed my master's name and said nonsense, "I told the owner, and I will not forgive him lightly!"
Widow Sun will be suspicious, but because of her orphan and widowed mother, she did not dare to say the old seven easily: "I said it or not, I won't sell it."
Litchi smiled, regardless of the mud in her hand, took her hand and stuffed the bag of money into her: "This is purely my grandmother's urgent need for you, and it is not included in the compensation. You may not know who my second master and grandmother are. I'll tell you, and you'll know. My second master, who led the plough and the eel horse this year, saved a lot of manpower and material resources, and never made half a penny because of it: my second grandmother, in a word, exempted a number of tenants of rents, how can you embarrass your orphans and widowed mothers? Seeing that Widow Sun's face eased, Fang said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know where you are now. Let's talk together? If you have any difficulties, just tell me." When his eyes saw the pile of turning tiles, he greeted the stodian with a smile: "Please ask a few people to clean up for Sister-in-law Sun, and go back to find me for the salary."
Widow Sun hesitated for a moment and said, "We are now living in his cousin's house, not far from here. If the girl doesn't dislike it, she can go with me."
Litchi hurriedly greeted the driver. With Widow Sun, after several twists and turns, she finally asked her family's situation and intention in detail. Before leaving, she solemnly told Widow Sun: "My second master is not easy to understand your orphans and widowed mother. I'm afraid that you will suffer a few turns in the middle. In To sign a deed with you, you must ask your neighbors to testify. Other people come, just like the old seven or something. Don't believe it or sign any documents. If you don't believe me, just ask someone to inquire about it in the doorroom of the Lu family, and you will know whether it is true or not.
