Chapter 423 Cultivation
In the white snow, a red plum stands against the snow.
Lu Jianxin sat in front of the window with a cup of hot white grass root soup, and his eyes slid from the blooming red plum branch to Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong, who came out of the curtain to welcome the snow. The two shared an umbrella, and Lu Yan took half a step forward. He was leisurely. Lin Jinrong stepped back half a step. His posture was elegant, and his behavior was extremely harmonious.
He was really young. Lu Jianxin sighed inaudiblely and moved his lower limbs, which were very uncomfortable because of gout. Thinking about it again, he was quite impetuous. The laughter of Lin Yuzhen and Yilang came from behind him. He looked back, but saw Lin Yuzhen kneeling on the couch, the little Yilang sat opposite her, and the grandparents and grandchildren were playing with the rope.
Douer sat next to Yi Lang with half of her body and patiently taught him how to solve it with a smile. In the end, Yi Lang was young. How could he know this? He was impatient. He stretched out his two fat claws and pulled Lin Yuzhen's stretched string into a mess, and then stretched out his hand to eat sugar.
Lin Yuzhen refused to give: "I want to eat sugar all day long, that won't work."
Yilang rubbed his head in her arms. After a few rubs, Lin Yuzhen was defeated and had to say, "Only half a grain."
Lu Jianxin frowned slightly: "It's too spoiled! Where can I teach boys to play flip ropes? Not to mention always remembering to eat sugar. Don't give it!"
Yilang heard that his voice was not good, and he did not cry. He just put his small body in Lin Yuzhen's arms, turned his head and secretly looked at his look. His eyes flashed, and he looked intelligent and cute.
When Lu Jianxin saw that Yi Lang still liked it, he still said in a low voice with a stiff face, "It's not small. It's three years old. As soon as something happens, he hides in the woman's arms. What does it look like? I want to enlighten him earlier. Don't miss my big deal.
Although Yilang didn't understand what he was talking about, he also knew that his grandfather didn't like him like this. His eyes showed a little fear, and he became more and more close to Lin Yuzhen.
"Did I miss your big deal?" Lin Yuzhen was extremely dissatisfied: "It is said that you don't hold your grandson but not your son. You have to take care of your grandson when he is so young. What do you want to do? Kaimeng? Does he have a pen?"
Lu Jianxin said slowly, "I didn't say now. I'm telling my wife that boys can't be raised like this!"
Lin Yuzhen looked at Aunt He and others standing beside him, although he knew that he was upset. But he couldn't help but be annoyed: "It's inexplicable."
Xiaoxing and A Rou immediately lowered their heads and pretended to be air. Aunt He smiled and said, "Master and wife, let's say less. It's always for the sake of Master Sun."
What's the matter? Lin Yuzhen looked at her contemptuously, disdainfully turned the beginning, and handed a piece of sugar to Yilang: "Good grandson. Grandma gave it to you.
Lu Jianxin said, "Don't eat!"
Yilang pinched the candy, looked left and right. He suddenly handed the sugar to Lu Jianxin and said in a milky voice, "Grandpa eats it."
Lu Jianxin was stunned, and he didn't pick it up, and he didn't pick it up. He said lightly, "I won't eat it."
Yilang didn't dare to stuff the sugar into his mouth, but looked back at Lin Yuzhen. A small face was full of being bullied. Seeing Lin Yuzhen's stiff face, she showed a little fear. Lin Yuzhen was soft-hearted by him, and the tight expression on her face was loosened. She gently stroked his back, and her voice softened: "Look, although he is young, he doesn't know anything. I'll give it to you first."
Aunt He lost no time to flatter: "Master Sun is really smart and pure and filial. It will be a great weapon in the future!"
Lu Jianxin couldn't help raising the corners of his lips: "People are big, and there are many thieves, and I don't know who they look like!" While saying. He glanced out of the curtain.
Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan listened to a tail outside the curtain, although they didn't know the specific reason. But I also know that Lu Jianxin is disciphering Yilang. He is small and big, and has a lot of thieves. He is also talking about Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan looked at the same time and stood outside the curtain with their heads down to wait for the girl's approval.
Lu Jianxin put away the soup in his hand and said in a low voice, "Come in."
As soon as Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan went in, Yilang got excited and earned it in Lin Yuzhen's arms. He shouted crisply, "Dad, mother." Seeing that Lu Jianxin frowned, he sat down obediently and peeked at Lu Jianxin's face from the corners of his eyes.
Lu Jianxin treated Lu Yan and his wife to salute him and Lin Yuzhen. He taught him a lesson with a straight face, "I don't want to talk about you more, but this child is not young. I can't always spoil him. It's time to teach him."
Lu Yan stood up and answered politely, "Yes."
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and answered, but he didn't care. He only felt that Lu Jianxin was too pretentious and harsh on a child under the age of two.
Seeing that the two of them had a good attitude, Lu Jianxin pressed this matter and said, "Sit down."
So Lu Yan sat down in Lu Jianxin, and Lin Jinrong went to Lin Yuzhen's side and whispered to Yilang, who rushed into her arms: "Is Yilang naughty? Did you listen to your grandparents?
Yilang looked at Lu Jianxin timidly, opened his palm, and showed Lin Jinrong the sugar in his palm. Lin Jinrong roughly knew what had just happened, so he wrapped the candy for him and said with a smile, "It's time to eat. How about eating it another time?"
Although she spoils Yilang, she has never been the same. Over time, Yilang also knows that she can't bargain here. Although he was extremely reluctant, he did not dare to make mistakes. Reluctance, he reluctantly watched Douer collect the sugar and quietly lay in Lin Jinrong's arms to listen to the adults.
Lu Jianxin asked Lu Yan, "I heard that you went to see your third uncle earlier. Is he better? I wanted to see him, but I was so gout that I couldn't walk.
Lu Yan hurriedly said, "When I went back to my father's words, the third uncle just felt cold. He asked me to greet my father for him and ask him to raise him well."
Lu Jianxin is more generous than Lin Yuzhen in this respect. He nodded when he heard the words and seriously told Lu Yan: "Your sixth brother is not at home. There are many inconveniences in your third aunt and a woman. You can go and have a look more. Don't neglect it. Although it is a minor illness, it also needs to be taken seriously.
Lu Yan's face showed a little gratitude: "Father is right. A few days ago, my son asked someone to inquire about a few prescriptions for gout, and he had already asked someone to do it. After it's done, my father can try it. Maybe it can relieve the pain.
What Lu Jianxin wanted was this attitude, but he did not show any special expression. He just nodded faintly and asked Lin Jinrong, "I heard that your uncle is also sick?"
Lin Jinrong quickly got up and replied, "Yes."
Lu Jianxin said, "Let people prepare a generous gift to see, don't lose the gift." That's all. Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan didn't mention any other topics.
When it got dark, Aunt He led the girls to palm the lamps around her, changed the charcoal basin, and asked Lin Yuzhen, "Madam, do you want to set the meal?"
Lin Yuzhen nodded reservedly. Lin Jinrong hurriedly handed over Yilang to Douer, got up, washed his hands and served him to eat. After tossing for a long time, it was easy to clean up. Lu Jianxin didn't let anyone go, leaving Lu Yan to speak.
Lin Jinrong saw that Yilang was drowsy. He was afraid that he would fall asleep later and go out to be caught by the wind, so he made Lin Yuzhen know and took Yilang back first.
More than half an hour later, Lu Yan stepped on the snow and came back. He took the hot tea handed over by Lin Jinrong and held it in his hand. He smiled and said, "Teach me how to be a person."
Every time Lu Jianxin did something, there was always a high-sounding reason, and then naturally led the other party into it. Lin Jinrong smiled and listened to the words quietly.
Sure enough, Lu Yan continued: "Then I asked about Wu Xiang and asked me if I had any contact with Wu Xiang on weekdays. He asked me to write a letter to ask about Mei Baoqing's fleet. Everyone can't wait."
Mei Baoqing's fleet was formed last spring. It didn't take long to go to sea. It was said that it was the first trip and he did not plan to go too far. He was going to come back in the autumn of that year, but at that time, he missed the return date and did not return. Lu Jianzhong also asked the reason. The answer from there is don't worry. Sooner or later, he will come back. But it's the spring of the second year, and there is no trace of it. Why don't you worry about it?
When Master Lu died, he spent too much money, and Mrs. Lu deducted a large amount of money reserved for funeral expenses. The Lu family's family was not as rich as before. In another branch, the financial resources originally twisted into one branch are divided into three parts, which is much weaker. The long house and the third house are mainly based on the farm, and the investment is floating wealth, which will not have too much impact. Unfortunately, it is bad luck. In the year of a major disaster, the harvest in the field is almost gone. The situation of the second house is even more serious. Originally, it mainly relied on business to live. At the beginning, it was squeezed out by Lu Jianxin and Lu's establishment. I expected to rely on this business to turn over and collect a lot of money. However, the money was delayed, which led to the inconvenient flow of funds. Everything was tight. I was tied up
Compared with Lu Jianzhong's anxiety, Lu Jianxin was still from the beginning, and gradually began to worry and doubt. He guessed if Mei Baoqing had done something. On turn, isn't it the most appropriate to inquire about this kind of thing? It's more appropriate to leave this matter to Lu Yan.
Lin Jinrong went to the table and lit up the candlelight for Lu Yan, and studied the ink and paving the paper: "The third brother has written a letter to ask Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang said that there are many times in this situation. Do you want to go to sea? It depends on the wind and luck, and no one can predict the return date. That's why it's really safe to wait on the shore, although you make less money.
Thinking of Lu Jianxin's temperament, Lu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Can't I say that? This letter has to be written seriously. Only when Wu Xiang's reply is sent can it be considered bad.
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "I didn't say I won't let you write. Look, the pen and ink are ready."
Lu Yan picked up his pen and wrote to Wu Xiang about the white flying snowflakes outside the window and the red and lively charcoal fire in the room. Lin Jinrong quietly looked at Lu Yan's figure waving his pen, stepped forward and hugged his waist from behind him, and put his face on his back. Lu Yan carefully finished the words he was writing, put the pen away, held her hand around his waist, and turned around and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Lin Jinrong hugged him more and more and whispered, "It's nothing. I want to see my third brother tomorrow. You can find a way to go out with me.
Lu Yan said, "Okay... The transition chapter is really difficult to write...
