Chapter 100 Lin Zi'an is in trouble, and the shopkeeper Du is relieved
There are a lot of congratulatory people from the village chief's house, and there is not much attention in the countryside, just sit separately for men and women, and several clan elders are of course guests, and they are arranged at the front table by the village chief Lin Changqing and his second son Lin Hongwen. And Aunt Li accompanied the female guests, Youqing and Ruyugang accompanied the girls to sit at another table, of course, there were many other tables, and Lin Changqing arranged for close relatives to accompany them. Although Lin Zhu is small, she is also the head of the family, and Aunt Li thinks that she is the person who has contributed the most to this marriage, so she is also arranged at her own table.
Originally, there was nothing wrong, but I don't know which tendon of the old Lin Feng of the Lu Dao clan was twisted again, and halfway through the meal, he suddenly gave Lin Zi'an, who was sitting at a table not far away, a look. After Lin Zi'an saw it, he stood up slowly, took a wine glass, walked to the main table, and toasted the village chief Lin Changqing and Lin Hongyuan vigorously. On such a happy day, Lin Changqing didn't want to be unpleasant, so he didn't refuse to drink. "Changqing, you can have a few more drinks today, Hongyuan is married, next year in high school, in a few years in high school, then we have to call you Master Lin." Ha Lu Ha. Lin Feng and Lin Changqing said in a smug manner. Although Lin Changqing hoped so in his heart, he also had to be modest, "Where, where, accept your auspicious words." ”
"Yes, Brother Changqing, where is your blessing still to come?" Lin Zi'an also used the strength of the wine to say something nice, wanting to ease the relationship that had been estranged before because of stealing watermelons. As he spoke, he left his seat and gave Aunt Li a glass of wine, "Sister-in-law, I will also toast you." Although Aunt Li was a little embarrassed. But he still picked up the cup and took a sip. I thought he should go back, but I didn't expect it. He actually walked up to Lin Zhu, "Yo." Where is Miss Bamboo sitting here? Just now I said outside that you brought a piece of fabric to congratulate you on being stingy, no, I'm here to apologize to you. ”
After he said this, Aunt Li's face changed instantly, and gossip flashed on the faces of several elderly women at the table with her. Lin Zhu put down his chopsticks and stood up, staring at Lin Zi'an. Lin Zi'an's face was red because of drinking, and he couldn't see any changes, but under Lin Zhu's direct gaze, there was panic in his eyes. His mouth was slightly open, and he was just about to speak, but his mother-in-law suddenly came over from the side and said with her mouth, "Miss Xiaozhu, our head of the house has a stupid mouth, a straight heart, and can't speak, so don't go to your heart." Please don't hold a grudge against him, but don't let the dog bite him again. ”
The people around who heard her speak, looking at Lin Zhu's eyes were full of various meanings, and they had a good impression of her before. But now in their eyes, Lin Zhu has become a villain who cares about everything and will repay him. And what's worse is that in the eyes of others, she has become a malicious arsonist who hurts people. If they are allowed to continue talking about it freely, then Lin Zhu's reputation will be ruined. Aunt Li was furious. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can Xiaozhu be that kind of person, you guys are too much. At this time, Aunt Li couldn't wait to use a big stick to drive the two of them out of the city. But this is his son's wedding feast. When something happens, it's yourself who is ugly. At the moment of the dilemma, Chang's mother suddenly came to Lin Zhu with Fu Dou'er in her arms, "Girl, the shopkeeper Du is here." ”
Lin Zhu walked up to Lin Zi'an and his wife and glanced at them coldly, "It seems that the lesson last time was too light." After speaking, he took Chang's mother to confess to Aunt Li, and was about to go out. Lin Changqing, the village chief on the table next to him, also noticed that something was wrong here, he left the main table, came to Lin Zhu's side, and said to Lin Zi'an and his wife, "Go back, and take back the congratulatory gifts you brought." You are not welcome at all. The scene fell silent.
Lin Zi'an's face suddenly collapsed, they didn't expect Lin Changqing to defend Lin Zhu like this, after he came, the words they said to slander Lin Zhu before would have no effect at all, on the contrary, the reputation of the two of them in the village would be even more stinky.
"Village Chief Lin, congratulations, Du came uninvited, and please don't blame Village Chief Lin." A voice outside the door broke the embarrassment at this time. Lin Changqing saw that it was actually the shopkeeper of the Muyue Commercial Bank who had come to collect Lin Zhu watermelons, and Lin Changqing was in charge of handing over the watermelons to him at that time, so the two knew each other. He was followed by a young man.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lin on his newlywed, Du Mou also came to be happy, the little meaning is not a tribute, and I hope to accept it." The young man took out a bulging purse and handed it to Lin Changqing.
At this time, Lin Changqing was a little stunned, even if he knew himself, he didn't get married to the extent that his son got married and came to congratulate him, obviously for Lin Zhu's face, but the heavy purse in his hand showed that Lin Zhu's face was very big. "Shopkeeper Du is too polite, please sit down and have a glass of wine." Since someone is saving face for Lin Zhu, Lin Changqing will not let go of this opportunity to correct Lin Zhu's name, and poured a glass of wine full, "For Xiaozhu's face, let's do one." ”
"Yes, Miss Tollin's blessing, Du can come and join in the fun." After speaking, he and Lin Changqing toasted a glass of wine. Now everyone present was dumbfounded, as soon as the shopkeeper Du appeared, the style of the whole body showed that he was not an ordinary person, the people of Linjia Village who were seated, no matter which one of them was brought out, did not have his momentum, which was another feeling different from Lin Hongyuan, a gentle and elegant scholar. Hearing him mention Lin Zhu again, the people in the village also understood that this person came to congratulate the village chief for Lin Zhu, and the person in charge of registering He Yi opened the purse, a full twenty taels of silver, almost blinded everyone's eyes. Everyone's gaze at Lin Zhu changed again, but they didn't expect that such a character actually knew her little orphan girl, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.
Although the shopkeeper Du is a shopkeeper in Muyue Commercial Bank, he is only under Lu Mingtao, and the people he has seen in the world do not know how many, of course, these rural people cannot be compared. As soon as he stretched out his hand to the young man behind him, a rectangular box was delivered to him, and he opened the box, revealing the wolf pen inside, "This is the wolf pen in Huzhou, I wish Lin Gongzi high school in the coming year." "This is too daring, Sister Xiaozhu has already given me a set of four treasures of the study, this wolf of yours is the best product of the lake pen, Xiaosheng can never ask for it." Lin Hongyuan resigned again and again, but the pen couldn't be bought for twenty taels of silver. "It's just a pen, Lin Gongzi doesn't have to care, although it is worse than Miss Lin's, please don't dislike it, just accept it." At this time, the audience was in an uproar, and Lin Zi'an's previous slander was completely overturned.
Except for the village chief's family, everyone present was stunned by Lin Zhu's generosity. At this time, everyone realized that Lin Zhu was such a low-key person, and thought of Lin Zhu's seedling raising method and watermelon planting method that Lin Zhu taught to the people of Linjia Village without asking for anything in return. The method of raising seedlings, Lin Zhu has confirmed its role in his own field, and then look at the watermelon harvest in the Lin Zhu field, so why can't the people of Linjia Village get rich, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Zhu is a great benefactor of Linjia Village. Now there are people who ignore these in vain, ruin her reputation, and turn black and white upside down and slander her. The eyes of everyone looking at Lin Zi'an and his wife were completely wrong. His eyes were full of disgust and contempt. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two left in disgrace, and they didn't even take the He Yi that Lin Changqing said he wanted to return to him.
Shopkeeper Du finished drinking the wine and gave the congratulatory gift, turned his head to Lin Changqing and said, "Village Chief Lin, there are still some things that need to be asked for help from Miss Lin Zhu, I don't know if Miss Lin Zhu can take the first step." "Absolutely." Lin Changqing nodded busily.
So Lin Zhu took Chang's mother, Du's shopkeeper took the young man, and the four of them left the village chief's house.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for letting you break the bank." Lin Zhu bowed lightly.
"Eh, Miss Lin is polite, there are still many places to rely on Village Chief Lin in the future, and it can't be called a cost. However, Miss Lin Zhu's kindness was probably in the wrong place. "The shopkeeper Du has something to say. Of course, Lin Zhu understood what he meant. It's just that the matter of Linjia Village was intentional by her, even if the people of Linjia Village spread these methods, she was not afraid, as long as the most important thing was always in her hands.
"It's okay," Lin Zhu shook his head, "The Taoist ideal of things is precious, and the shopkeeper knows better than me." ”
"Hehe," Shopkeeper Du smiled, "Miss Lin is wise." ”
The group returned to Lin Zhu's house, and Heidou'er stayed at home, and when she heard the sound at the door, she hurriedly came out to greet them. Seeing the shopkeeper and the young man who didn't belong to this family, he yelled at them. Now the black bean's voice has changed, no longer a whiny cry, but like a roar from the depths of the throat, extremely penetrating, making it more threatening.
"Black Beans, good, they're not bad people." Lin Zhu touched its head and said comfortingly. Since the appearance of the melon thief, Black Bean'er has been hostile to everyone who comes uninvited, unless Lin Zhu has spoken, it will let it go, otherwise, it will always stare at the comer.
"Miss Lin, this dog, is really good. It retains its wildness and is very loyal. "It's not the first time that Shopkeeper Du has met with Heidou'er, but every time he meets, Lin Zhu has to be in front of him before he can enter Lin Zhu's house." Miss Lin, Du has a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree. ”
"Shopkeeper Du wants black beans?" Lin Zhu could see his appreciation and love for black beans. "No, no, no, how can Du take advantage of others, I want to say, if Black Beans have offspring, I hope Miss Lin can agree to transfer one to me. The price is yours. "Shopkeeper Du is also a dog lover, such a humane dog, of course, will be greedy, but he knows that now the black bean can no longer be tamed by people other than Lin Zhu, it has recognized Lin Zhu as the owner of life.
