Chapter 337 temperament
When Lin Jinrong saw Zhang Shanniang meditate, he was not in a hurry and only waited patiently. Looking forward to the big family like this, they like to pay attention to face in everything. The income may not be much, but the expenditure must be large. It's okay to rely on the public middle school now, but how much money will fall on the young couple in the future? As long as Zhang Shanniang is a good person, she will not refuse the flying money.
For a long time, Zhang Shanniang smiled gently: "Look at you, who do you think I am? You want to do good deeds, but I want to share your dividends..."
Lin Jinrong clearly knew that she was moved, and what she was holding was just a face, but he didn't look down on her. He just smiled and said, "This money is not given for nothing. I'll ask you for help. You have to go around, right? I'm afraid it's not enough to make tea. I can't let you advance the money for me. If Shanniang thinks it's inappropriate, help me build a bridge and introduce a safer one. If there is no support, any Yizhuang is a cloud in the sky.
Zhang Shanniang covered her mouth with a smile and said with a straight color, "You're right. If you want to make your business bigger, you really have to be well-rounded. It's really a lot of interpersonal relationships. And I, that is to answer you, I will be thorough for you, regardless of big and small things, and I will try my best to be thorough for you. Therefore, I was disrespectful.
No matter what she said, it was just a matter of face. The key was Lizi and a promise. Lin Jinrong got up and thanked him: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Zhang Shanniang quickly supported her: "You're welcome. They are all from my hometown. Besides, it's really not easy for you." As soon as she turned her eyes, Yingying smiled and said, "We just take what we need, but Rong Niang, don't treat me as a greedy person. I don't dare to take anyone's money." If it hadn't been for the clarity of Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong's hobbies first, she wouldn't have dared to touch them.
"I know." Lin Jinrong was in a very good mood and asked her with a smile, "Do you still want to invite Qiong Niang and Xing Niang?"
"Of course, this is the first step in establishing a relationship." Zhang Shanniang clapped her hands gently and a beautiful maid came in. After listening to her instructions, she quietly withdrew and looked for someone to invite Zhao Qiongniang and Xu Xingniang not to mention it.
Not long after, Xu Xingniang came with her husband Wei Sanlang, but Zhao Qiongniang didn't see him. Zhang Shanniang explained for Zhao Qiongniang: "I wanted her to relax when something happened to her mother's family, but she refused to come, that's all."
Xu Xingniang complained, "In fact, I don't blame the eldest brother of the Zhao family. Who is to blame for natural and man-made disasters? If it is surrounded by walls, it will not fall to this point. He was just a little timid. He didn't dare to report it when there was chaos. Who would have thought that the disaster would have evolved to this point?
The person who didn't want to listen to the person's intention, Lin Jinrong immediately pricked up his ears: "What's going on? What kind of chaos?"
"Have you heard about it?" Zhang Shanniang was a little surprised, and then smiled: "It must be your husband's son-in-law who doesn't want to disturb you with this kind of thing, so he won't listen to you. But in fact, what else? Over the past few years, there have been several natural disasters in various places, and I don't know how many unlucky families there are..." So she whispered some things she knew to Lin Jinrong.
Lin Jinrong was secretly shocked and couldn't help thinking of the disaster in Pingzhou.
Seeing that she was distracted, Zhang Shanniang hurriedly said, "Aren't you scared?"
Lin Jinrong quickly smiled and said, "No, I just sighed. Let's not just sit and gossip, Guanpu, Guanpu." After saying that, he asked people to come in and put on a lot of exquisite little things. Zhang Shanniang and Xu Xingniang also took out what they had prepared and began to gamble.
Lin Jinrong carefully observed the temperament of Zhang Shanniang and Xu Xingniang by playing, and found that although the two were playful, they were not insatiable. Zhang Shanniang was very self-disciplined, and Xu Xingniang was a little reckless but innocent. So I calmed down again.
Lu Yan and several people went out to watch the hot lot earlier, and then they also added it. A group of people didn't have much fun until nearly four o'clock.
Lin Jinrong won Zhang Shanniang's red coral hairpin, and Xu Xingniang's crystal double geese fan pendant also won for her. At the same time, she also lost a pair of pearl sachets and hairpins from their own shops; Lu Yan lost a lot with Rong Qi and Wei San. When he got home, Lin Jinrong was still not sleepy. He sat under the lamp and kept accounts. Of course, he remembered how much Lu Yan had lost.
Lu Yan was sleepy and leaned against ** and sighed: "I've lost. Why do you write it down?"
Lin Jinrong said seriously, "This is also the cost.
Lu Yan remembered that when she was preparing for this fight, everything had to be out of her shop. She tried her best to save money and couldn't help laughing: "You are too good at accounting."
Lin Jinrong didn't care and gossiped with him: "Don't say, Rong Qi and his wife, one is thick and the other is thin, the other is bold and righteous, the other is shrewd and steady, and the temperament is complementary. I don't know how the elders of the two families picked out this marriage."
After listening to her words, Lu Yan suddenly fell silent and looked at her and said, "I'm not very pleasing, am I?" That look, but I don't want her to say yes.
Lin Jinrong didn't pay attention to his look, but nodded and admitted, "It's a little bit."
Lu Yan's eyebrows were a little gloomy and whispered, "I really don't know that the one in your stomach will be slow."
Lin Jinrong's hand holding the pen paused, looked up at the bright candlelight, and whispered, "I hope he has your tenacity, my kindness, and open and sparse. The rest is better not." Gloomy and stubbornness is not a good thing.
Lu Yan didn't say anything. It took him a long time to say, "This is given by my parents. It was born by heaven, and who will get it!"
Lin Jinrong felt that there seemed to be some anger in his tone, but he didn't know where his anger came from. He guessed that he was tired, so he didn't pay attention to it and put out the lights and rested down. She went to bed and soon fell asleep, but Lu Yan repeatedly fell asleep like a pancake until it was light.
It turned out that there was nothing wrong with the gambling game set up by Lin Jinrong on New Year's Day. Mr. and Mrs. Rong Qi were not people who didn't work for nothing. At the beginning, they had to take people to the shop to swim around and buy something more or less. Gradually, there were fewer idle people around, and Much more relaxed.
February Flower Festival, nearly a month before New Year's Day, Lin Jinrong prepared the dividend he promised to Rong Qi and his wife, so that Chunya sent it to Zhang Shanniang by the opportunity of giving gifts. Zhang Shanniang gave a lot of appreciation to the spring buds. When she heard that Lin Jinrong was worried about the wet nurse and her stable mother-in-law, she immediately wrote a letter to Lin Jinrong, saying that she should not worry about it. She would arrange it for Lin Jinrong.
Chunya returned home and sent a few boxes of precious medicinal materials sent by Zhang Shanniang. He smiled and Lin Jinrong about what happened in Rong's house today: "You're very kind. Grandma Rongqi cares about you very much. She specially told you to walk around more and not to be lazy."
Lin Jinrong is very satisfied. He doesn't mention it when he goes down to have a rest.
In the afternoon of the third day, Zhang Shanniang's trusted rich mother led two stable mothers and two beautiful and clean-faced wet ladies for Lin Jinrong to choose. The two stable women, one surnamed Hua and the other surnamed Ma, were specially designated by Zhang and Rong's two families. At the beginning, they took over the birth of Zhang Shanniang, and the two wet ladies were both the children of the Zhang family.
The rich mother sat on the small seat and said to Lin Jinrong one by one with a smile, "These two birthmothers have been working for many years. Their hands and feet are clean, their character is trustworthy, and they all have a good reputation outside. As for the wet nurse, our grandmother said that if you are at home, it is best to choose a family to have children, but it is always inconvenient for you to be far away from here. If you buy it outside, it's not as good as this kind of knowledge. Look, whoever you like is who you like.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but secretly that the wet nurse given by Zhang Shanniang is of course cleaner than the one bought outside, but it's just that if she is not in Beijing in the future, the wet nurse will not follow her and take care of the child halfway, which is not good. But it's not easy to refuse directly. He smiled and said, "It's still early. It still depends on who the child is more close to."
When the rich mother heard the voice, she understood what she meant, but she didn't say much. She just said, "It's so reasonable. Today, I just sent it to my wife first. Then let's stay for both of them for the time being. Let's see what their temperament is first.
She was so persistent and thoughtful that Lin Jinrong thought that there was nothing to calculate for others, so she did not refuse any more. She thanked her with a smile and rewarded the rich mother again, so that Mam Sha was sent to the gate.
The next day, the rich mother came again, bringing the deeds of two nursing girls. Zhang Shanniang's words were very clear. She could choose whatever she wanted to stay. Or, if you use it for the time being, you can find a more suitable return in the future. This is a gesture that shows the sincerity of the two parents to cooperate every year.
At this point, Lin Jinrong felt at ease and looked at the two nursing girls silently. Two wet nurses, one surnamed Tang and the other surnamed Pan, are both about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. They are born with white skin and round face, rich and pleasing, and gentle. But what Lin Jinrong wants now is not just a gentle nature. What she wants is a responsible one. Even if she can't see it, she can rest assured to let go of her hand.
After Mother Sha and others found Lin Jinrong's attitude, they coincidentally cooperated with her and weaved an invisible net up and down. At any time, someone paid attention to the Tang family and the Pan family. Every day, people told Lin Jinrong about their words and behaviors. Tang's personality is more lively, of course, it should be sparse, Pan's nature should be more rigorous, but his personality is a little silent, but there are no major problems.
In a way, Tang's lively temperament can complement her and Lu Yan's taciturn temperament, which is good for the child; but Pan's mouthless and rigorous temperament seems to be more in line with her requirements. Lin Jinrong was a little difficult to choose for a while.
In Lu Yan's opinion, both of them are good, and anyone is fine. He felt that Lin Jinrong was too cautious, so he advised her: "Since both of them have no problems, then you can ask them. If I release them in the future, would you be willing to follow us? Who will be at ease? Yes."
Lin Jinrong sighed, "That's the only way." Suddenly, she remembered her pair of plum blossom hairpins: "Did you get those hairpins back? It's been so long, haven't you made it up yet?
