Chapter 449 Autumn
In a blink of an eye, it entered autumn.
After the Yizhuang meeting was held once a month, Lin Jinrong sent away the people who came to discuss the meeting and walked to the elegant room in the south corner of the tea shop. Lin Shiquan was waiting for her in early. Seeing her come in, he got up and handed in a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Have you helped a lot of people in the past six months?"
When Lin Jinrong heard him mention this, he couldn't help but smile a little more: "It's okay. Although they all brought some selfishness, they felt that the fat water did not flow to other people's fields. Most of them were from various families, but they always helped people. Not like in the past, even the clansmen were not willing to help, let alone those who were helpless.
Lin Shiquan saw that she was happy and couldn't help saying, "But in this way, the money goes very quickly. Not to mention that you still want to collect and bury the bodies of foreigners in Pingzhou for the guests. I think most of them are not happy?
Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment and whispered, "Except for the teachers and mothers, I'm not very happy. But I pay the most money, and they have nothing to say. How many guests will die in a year? And it's all simple. Nowadays, cremation is popular among the people. It's just a matter of a jar, but it's a lot of merit. I don't know if she was eaten up by fish and shrimp that year, or was she lucky to meet a kind-hearted person who had never exposed her body in the wilderness?
Lin Shiquan saw that her mood suddenly fell. Although he didn't know the reason, he cleverly turned the topic around: "Mei Baoqing's result came out, and he was seriously injured this time. He was planning to be his superior. His own sister swallowed the gold and committed suicide. He narrowly escaped, but he almost lost his wealth. I'm afraid it's extremely difficult to make a comeback. At least in the short term, he has no ability and dares not to tos around again.
That is to say, the Lu family's wealth can't come back. Although the previous letter written by Rong Qi to Lu Yan was not detailed, it also conveyed the same meaning. Mei Baoqing was more or less auspicious. There was another experience of his previous life, so Lin Jinrong didn't pay attention to it as he expected. He only said, "How's his daughter Hui Niang?"
Lin Shiquan said, "I heard that I was in a hurry before. I hurriedly married a family in the south of the Yangtze River for fear of dragging down my daughter."
Lin Jinrong couldn't help exclaiming, "That child is still so young." Even after two years, Mei Huiniang is only twelve or thirteen years old.
Lin Shiquan smiled and said, "It's just an advance gift. At that time, as long as she could take care of her not being dragged down, it would be great, and it would always be difficult to do it in a hurry.
In fact, it is not uncommon to have such a marriage. Lin Jinrong understood and asked again, "How's your husband's family? The little girl has some affection for me. It's time to make up a congratulatory gift."
Lin Shiquan said, "Mei Baoqing gave her a lot of dowries and powerful servants. Her husband's family is also a friend who has been dating for many years. Even if she is unhappy, she will not be too bullied. What's more, now that Mei Baoqing has escaped, she has the ability to protect herself, so there is no need to worry about her.
Lin Jinrong sighed and said something that had been calculated for a long time: "I want to ask the third brother to do something."
Lin Shiquan smiled and said, "Tell me."
Lin Jinrong said, "Uncle and others will go to the eldest cousin's place in a few days, and the seventh brother will also go to study with them. The eldest cousin happens to have something to pick up. I heard that the river bandits are fierce now and often hurt people. I'm extremely worried. After the words fell, Lin Shiquan said boldly, "I'll just send them there." What a difficult thing!"
Lin Jinrong was grateful and said with a smile, "It's really to bother the third brother.
But I also want to ask the third brother to help me buy a boat at Wuyi Wharf. The boat should be almost good, strong, and the boaters should be trustworthy and capable.
Lin Shiquan said, "What do you do when you buy a boat?"
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Use it for your family. I have wanted to have my own boat for a long time. Others love new clothes and jewelry, so I want a ship of my own.
Lin Shiquan joked, "You went to Beijing with Erlang that year. Did you see Mei Baoqing's big ship stimulated? If you don't show your wealth, don't learn from him.
Lin Jinrong covered his mouth and smiled: "So this ship should not be too conspicuous or too big. It's just trying to be clean. Don't let too many people know."
Lin Shiquan looked at Lin Jinrong in silence. There seemed to be many secrets on her. He didn't know what she was like in front of Lu Yan, but at least she was a little different in front of him. Well, since she believed him, he didn't ask much. Lin Shiquan got up and said, "Oleg, I'll do it for you." Well, the climate this year is good. It's a bumper harvest year. The usurper may not have appeared for a long time. You don't have to worry about it.
Everyone thinks so, so they are caught off guard. Lin Jinrong silently filled the tea cup with the tea soup, stood up, and bowed deeply to Lin Shiquan with the teacup in his hands: "Third brother."
"This place will not be ours soon. I really can't bear it." Lin Shiquan was turning around and looking at the scenery outside the window. He heard her shouting and inadvertently turned back, but he saw Lin Jinrong holding the tea high and bowing to the end. He couldn't help but be surprised: "What are you doing?"
Lin Jinrong looked up at him and said sincerely, "Three brothers, thanks to you over the years, I can have today. Little sister, I use tea instead of wine to express my feelings. Make your own money, your waist is hard, and you don't have to look at the faces and mouths of others. Even if you calculate money for others, it's better than calculating others and asking others for money. All this is really thanks to Lin Shiquan. He has been standing silently behind her for many years. He is also a brother and a friend, more like a mountain to rely on, which makes her feel at ease in her heart. She became Lin Shiquan, and Lin Shiquan also became her.
Lin Shiquan subconsciously wanted to push, but when he saw the tears shining in Lin Jinrong's eyes, he was silent and returned Lin Jinrong's salute seriously. He took the tea cup with both hands and drank the tea soup. Then he took another cup, poured tea soup, concocted it in the same way, and gave his hands to Lin Jinrong. He said, "Without you, there will be no me and Liu'er today. Brother and sister, we will always be brothers and sisters, good brothers and sisters."
Lin Jinrong's eyes were full of tears and drank it all. The brother and sister looked at each other and sat down again. Lin Jinrong whispered, "Third brother, it's good for the girl to be raised in the deep boudoir, but it can't be ignorant. Otherwise, it's like a frog in the well, you can't talk to the sea. This time, the third brother sent his uncle It will be good for her to have more contact with others in the future.
Lin Shiquan thought for a moment and said, "You're right. She has lost her own mother since she was a child and lives in the family of relatives all year round. Although the third aunt treats her as if she were herself, she is not her own mother in the end. I'm afraid that she will lose her heart. She is either submissive or arrogant. It's good to go out to see and broaden your horizons.
Lin Jinrong said, "Xinzhou should also let her have a look. Litchi is going to be produced again. I have something to bring to her. The third brother might as well go to Xinzhou to see her for me, take care of the industry, and stay there until next spring. It's not too late to After a pause, he changed his cheerful tone and said, "Find a sister-in-law for me. It's not a good thing for you to always do this."
Lin Shiquan rubbed his forehead with worry: "Actually, I don't want to go far away. I grew up here, and my relatives and friends are all here. But it's always unsatisfactory.
"And relax. It will get better." Lin Jinrong knew what he meant. A few days ago, Lin Shiquan wanted his father and brother to sue him for disobedience, just like the Lu family dealing with Lu Lu's affairs, and let him go out of school. As a result, a pile of cowhide candy was entangled. His two sisters-in-law were still crying in front of the It made Liuer cry for a few days. He was locked in the room all day and refused to go out of the door, for fear of being laughed at by the rest of the Lin family.
Lin Shiquan couldn't help smiling bitterly: "I can only think so." Looking up to see that it was getting late, he said, "It's almost done. Let's go. I'll take you back."
Lin Jinrong returned home and did some things to wash. He saw Fangzhu leaning over: "Grandma, I have something to tell you... Today, when you went out, the third wife asked me to call the maidservant. First, did grandma not follow the appointment? This tea shop won't do it next spring? The maidservant didn't hide it from her, so she said yes.
She didn't say much, so she asked the second master when he was going to leave for Taiming Mansion. Looking at the meaning of the third lady, it seems that she wants to take over your tea shop.
Lin Jinrong frowned and said, "It's so raw. Why did she suddenly ask about this tea shop?" Since the beginning of autumn, Lu Jian's illness turned into tuberculosis. Tu Shi was exhausted and did not have the energy to take care of her affairs outside. Since she knew that her tea shop would not be done, she was particularly interested, and most of them were reminded by someone.
Fang Zhu sighed, "Isn't it? After the maid came back, she asked someone to ask who had been close to the third wife recently. Only the eldest grandmother took a box of medicine to visit the third master the day before yesterday.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help laughing: "Since it's her, don't worry about it. If she wants to do it, just do it for her. It must be chaotic next year. She didn't think about transferring it to whom to cheat. She planned to throw away those furniture, tea sets and other things in vain. Who would have thought that Lv would come to her own door?
Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps, but Lu Yan went outside to take care of the affairs and came back. Lin Jinrong hurried forward to pick up his coat and arranged for him to wash his hands and change his usual clothes: "Is everything all right?" After getting an affirmative answer, he told him about Tu's inquiry about finding Fangzhu today, but he didn't know that he didn't want to transfer the tea shop to Tu's. He only said, "The third uncle's illness has never healed, and the third aunt doesn't know what to think. What energy do you have to take care of
Lu Yan was really unhappy: "The sixth brother is about to enter. I'm busy rushing to Taiming Mansion to take care of him. Is she still in the mood to do this? Don't pay attention to her!"
Lin Jinrong hurriedly followed his hair: "May be it's not necessarily what others want to do. The third aunt is honest, and she is moved as soon as she is persuaded. He whispered about Lu Shi: "I'm not sure, but that's about what it means."
Lu Yan simply said neatly, "I'll go there in the evening. You can't let her mess up. What kind of business does she do!"
Continue to ask for fan tickets. If there is no accident, there will probably be three updates. I'm not sure. Let's see the status.
