Time flies, like the strings crossed by Lin Wanjing's fingertips, and the aftermath is lingering, and the three apricot blossoms in the courtyard have brewed new stamens.

"This year's apricot blossoms bloom early, where can I see it at this time in previous years." Mo Zhidong raised his hand and climbed down a branch of stamen to look at it carefully, looking as if he was looking at a newborn baby.

Lin Wanjing rarely saw her mother's look, and she was a little distracted for a while, her expression was in the eyes of Master Lin, so she said:

"Girl, these three apricot blossoms in the yard are your mother's heart, every year when they bloom, she says, if my girl looks at it, how good it would be, I don't know if it's my girl, or this apricot flower."

"Didn't I look at it, I didn't have time to take a closer look at a lot of things last year, but this year can be regarded as idle."

After the Lunar New Year, Lin Wanjing was forced to accept a series of plans to have a baby at home, and no longer asked too much about the shipment.

Looking up at the luxuriant apricot blossoms on her head, Lin Wanjing suddenly remembered her sister, only to find that she hadn't seen her since she liked the second young master of the Liao family that day, and she hadn't even missed the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and it had been more than a month.

"Sister, have you ever seen cherry blossoms? There are many cherry blossom trees in Japan, and there is one in the yard of the family where I boarded, and when they bloom in spring, they are beautiful, and the pink petals are light and thin, thinner than the thinnest paper you can think of, and the branches are so layered that you can't even see the sky, like a glow falling on the branches. And those petals can also be made into delicious snacks, sweet, with a faint aroma......"

The apricot blossoms on the top of the head are also very light and thin, like a mist of mist, but they can't be made into food, but they can also slightly comfort Lin Wanying's longing for cherry blossoms.

Seeing her thoughtful look, Mo Zhidong couldn't help but worry, and asked softly:

"But the child is making trouble again? Why is this look ......?"

Lin Wanjing hurriedly shook her head: "No, the baby has been very well-behaved recently, occasionally tossing but as long as he hears Yun Rou's voice, he will be obedient." I just want to be Yingying, and she should like this kind of scenery too. ”

The rumbling sound of firecrackers on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve not only divided the old and new years, but also divided the atmosphere of the Lin family into two layers of ice and fire - on the one hand, Lin Wanjing and Liu Jin were in harmony with each other, Qin Se and Ming, and on the other side, the mother and daughter in the second room were in dispute, and they were in the same situation. After a month of arguing over Liao Kai's affairs, Lin Wanying has given up the idea of negotiating with her mother, and now she even disdains arguing with her parents, replacing it with an endless cold war.

At the mention of Lin Wanying, Master Lin sighed heavily: "Yingying, when did that child start to become so ignorant, and he doesn't know how to understand the hard work of his parents at all......"

Lin Wanjing just wanted to speak, but saw Mo Zhidong shaking her head at her.

In fact, a week ago, Master Lin was still very supportive of Lin Wanying's choice. It was the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the magnolia tree outside the window leaned on the bright moon in the sky, Liu Jin hurried to the sea before the Lunar New Year, she sat alone in the room, did not wait for Liu Jin to go home, but waited for the worried father.

"Wan Jing, you can also help persuade Yingying, before she has made a big mistake now, she leaves the young master of the Liao family, she is still young, and there is a chance for her to choose slowly, how can she see the mountains."

Lin Wanjing was a little confused for a while, she had only spent several days convincing her father to believe in her sister's choice, how could he change his mind in less than ten days in the blink of an eye.

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Didn't we say yes before, let's see the situation first. ”

"Just now your second mother came to me and said that Yingying had a fight with her again tonight, saying that being born in such a family does not feel happy at all, in fact, your second mother is also for her good, just such a daughter, isn't it? But Yingying said that she only had herself in her heart, what did you say Yingying? How could such unconscionable words be uttered? ”

In Master Lin's description, Aunt Yishan cried to him about her sincerity to her daughter, from talking about marriage to getting pregnant in October, Master Lin has always loved the second aunt too much, but the second aunt always looks high and self-controlled, and now she has always cried in front of herself, where can he take care of his little daughter.

"Dad, tell me, what do you think about Yingying and Akai?"

"I'm thinking about it, in terms of family background, it's true that the Liao family and our family are well-matched, but the Liao family is also involved in a lot of shady transactions, I still hope that Yingying can find a home on the table like you."

Lin Wanjing snorted coldly in her heart, in the end, she still hoped that she would find a "rich and powerful" home, but inadvertently, she set such a bad example for her sister, she still hoped that Lin Wanying could be with the person who was in touch with her, maybe she would be happy in this way, if she had expected that she and Liu Jin would come to this point, how could she choose this marriage?

The mother and daughter sat down in the corridor, just listening to Master Lin chattering about the past, and they didn't notice the arrival of the second aunt at all, until she opened her mouth, and the old man realized that the second aunt had been standing behind her. She seemed to have something unspeakable and didn't know how to speak, but when she saw the three of them looking at her together, she forced a smile and said:

"Wanjing is really at home, I'm looking for you everywhere."

This aunt, who is a doctor, has not cared much about her and the child's situation since the day she announced her pregnancy, and Lin Wanjing knows that she must not have come today to care about her.

"Second mother, are you looking for me?"

"Wanjing, you can help the second mother, Yingying seems to have run away from home."

"Running away from home?" After a short shock, Lin Wanjing laughed in her heart - this really fits her sister's personality.

Master Lin was not as relaxed as her, and exclaimed, "When did it happen?" ”

"It should ...... It's these two days. ”

"Should?"

"I was playing cards with my friends the day before yesterday, and when I came back in the evening, I saw the lights off in her room, and I thought she was asleep and left her alone. Yesterday I didn't sleep until noon, and when I woke up, I didn't see her and thought she was going to a trading house, so I didn't ask too much, but she didn't come back last night...... So I'm not here to find you, Wanjing, talk to the young marshal, let him help find your sister! ”

Who knew that when Lin Wanjing heard this, her brows frowned: "So, no one in the store has been watching in the past two days?" ”

"I think so......"

"What are you kidding?" She stood up and said hurriedly: "Ah Ling, let Ah Biao prepare the car, and we will go to the business bank immediately." ”

"Huh! Wanjing, you should help find your sister first! ”

"Second mother, Yun Rou is not an idler, I shouldn't trouble him for everything......" Lin Wanjing wanted to continue, but was stopped by her mother with her gaze, she sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll go to him and try." ”

Seeing that she restrained her tone, Mo Zhidong said worriedly: "Do you have to go to the business house?" ”

Ah Ling also hurriedly followed suit: "Yes, Miss, you still have to go to the foreign bank this afternoon, will it be too hard?" ”

"Push off the appointment of the foreign bank, let's reconcile the accounts in the business bank today, and we won't go anywhere."

In the first two months of each year, the shipping arrangements of the commercial bank are very compact, and this year, thanks to Liu Jin's blessing, the orders of Wanli Commercial Bank have surged by two percent.

But this is the busiest time, but it is also the time when people's hearts are the most scattered - perhaps the workers have not yet recovered from the loose state of the New Year, not to mention the leave and resignation do not do, just being lazy and picking quarrels and provoking troubles can not be dealt with. Huang Shuncai, the current big shopkeeper of Wanli Commercial Bank, is an old treacherous and cunning fox, leading the Lin family's high monthly salary on the one hand, and receiving the filial piety of the workers on the other hand, plus the order commission pulled from his wine table and card game, his life can be regarded as a nourishing life, but even so, he will not let go of the oil and water that can be touched, in this regard, he and his brother are really undoubtedly brothers.

I had heard Shen Junyi say before that the elder brother of the shopkeeper Huang was in charge of the Shen family's stall, and the price of the Shen family for a piece of fabric was ten oceans, so he dared to report fifteen oceans to the guests, and the extra five were his own, and in the end he lost his patron and lost his job, and also imprisoned most of his life. Lin Wanjing has been worried about this yellow shopkeeper for a long time, just because half of the labor in the store is brought by him, if he is dismissed, I am afraid that the operation of the entire store will be paralyzed, so she has to swallow her anger, except for hard work to stare at the accounts in the store, there is no other way.

Lin Wanjing couldn't rest assured, and drove all the way to the stall, if the chain fell at such a critical time due to lack of supervision, the operation of Wanli Commercial Bank for the whole year would be affected.

Unexpectedly, the operation of the business bank was not as chaotic as she imagined - the workers loaded and unloaded the goods in an orderly manner, and the juniors went in and out to greet the guests, and Lin Wanjing didn't believe her eyes for a while. When I went to the store again, I saw Shen Junyi sitting in the hall, drinking the water in the cup calmly, and when he saw her coming, he stood up and smiled at her kindly.

"Long time no see." Lin Wanjing sat down opposite him, this is indeed true, since a quick glance at the wedding banquet that day, they have not seen each other for nearly a year.

"yes, time flies."

Shen Junyi still remembers her stubborn appearance when she first met Lin Wanjing, and also remembers the scene when Liu Jin protected her when he questioned her about her almost gaffe, and even remembered that on the night of the wedding banquet, she wore a cheongsam with a phoenix embroidered with gold thread and a peony rouge cloud brocade, Liu Jin took her around to toast, and her smile was as bright as a peony flower pinned to her hairline.

"By the way, there is a sentence that I have never told you, you were beautiful on the night of the wedding banquet."

Shen Junyi's words for no reason, Lin Wanjing's cheeks suddenly rose with two red clouds, and she didn't know how to respond, but she heard him say again:

"Why didn't Yun Shuai accompany you? I heard that your due date is approaching, and it is reassuring that he will let you run around like this. ”

"In your eyes, I, Lin Wanjing, am so weak, but I am just the kind of little woman who relies on her husband's prestige to show off everywhere and can't live without her husband?"

Shen Junyi was stunned for a long time, and then laughed heartily, Lin Wanjing is not a little woman, in his opinion, it is Liu Jin who married Lin Wanjing, if someone else is changed, I am afraid that no one can control this girl's temper.

I heard that the Shen family's Heyanfang business has been good since the beginning of the year, and Lin Wanjing changed her words:

"Why do you have time to come here today?"

"My shipment has to be loaded on the ship tonight, so come and see, who knows that no one is taking care of it in the store." Shen Junyi replied, picking up the hat in his hand as he spoke, "Now that the eldest lady is here, I am also relieved." ”

"Since you're here, if you have time, sit with me for a while."

Ah Ling happened to come out of the back hall, and when she heard Lin Wanjing keep him, Ma Li lined up the refreshments in the tea tray on the table one by one, and added a fire by the way:

"Young Master Shen, this 'Junshan Silver Needle' was brought back by the young marshal when he sent someone to the north to procure military supplies, and our young lady easily didn't give it to others."

"Oh? Then wouldn't I have failed the eldest lady's good intentions if I didn't taste it, and also wasted this precious tea soup? Shen Junyi put the hat back on the table, "Speaking of which, the treatment of the eldest lady is different, Shen has thanked me in advance." ”

"What kind of treatment, don't dislike last year's tea leaves Shen Gongzi."

The reason why Lin Wanjing left Shen Junyi to drink tea Ah Ling didn't know, but she felt that Lin Wanjing was inconvenient at the moment, and if something really happened, she couldn't stop ten of them, so no matter what, it was good to keep a man here.

Drinking tea, the atmosphere of chatting between the two is also much more comfortable, Lin Wanjing has been forced to raise a fetus at home for a long time, living a life of not going out of the door, she is eager to understand the novelties outside the door, fortunately, Shen Junyi is also the master who can chat, and the conversation box is boundless as soon as it is opened.

"A few days ago, the matter of the Chengbei Tian family, Wanjing, have you heard about it?"

"Tian family?" Lin Wanjing asked rhetorically, and then shook her head, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Lin Wanjing of the Tian family in the north of the city knows that if you talk about the estrangement of relatives, the Tian family can be regarded as a distant relative of the Shuai Mansion - the second aunt of the Tian family is Fu Shien's biological sister, when Fu Shien was still alive, this second aunt came to see her too often, and she was also very familiar with Lin Wanjing, so if it was about seniority, Liu Jin had to call the uncle of the Tian family.

"At the beginning of the year, the Tian family transported a batch of rice, flour and grains from the north, and when they passed the military post, they were found to be embargoed, and now the whole family is detained in prison."

"The whole family? Can you do it? Lin Wanjing was surprised, in that era, there were few companies engaged in freight transportation that did not smuggle some so-called contraband, different regions, and different regulations on contraband, but these contraband goods were nothing more than opium and medicine, and they were found to be fines at most.

"Do you know what's coming out?" Shen Junyi lowered his voice, "Arms, three cars." ”

When this sentence came out, Lin Wanjing was really shocked and speechless, smuggling arms is indeed a serious crime.

"Actually, this matter has to start earlier," Shen Junyi took a sip of tea soup, as if she had the demeanor of a storyteller, "Just a few years ago, you remember the sudden explosion at the mouth of the abandoned kiln in the northern suburbs, right?" ”

Lin Wanjing nodded, how could she not remember? She was sitting in the school office that afternoon when she heard several loud noises that almost shattered the glass.

"I heard that there is an ownerless arsenal hidden in the mouth of the kiln, and it may be that the farmer's fire burning wheat straw ignited the exposed **, and the whole land was blown away. The people in the vicinity said that just a few days before the explosion, they saw someone taking advantage of the night to go in and out of the kiln, and the marshal became angry when he heard it, and the illegal possession of arms was a felony with repeated orders, and now the illegal possession of arms is as much as a cave, and it was accidentally blown up, do you think he can not be angry? It was ordered that anyone who secretly possessed arms and smuggled arms would be severely punished once they were discovered. Shen Junyi took a breath, "This matter is handed over to Yu Shuai, what kind of person is Yu Shuai, you should have heard of it, right?" Tsk, the Tian family hit the muzzle of his gun, but I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. ”

Lin Wanjing originally wanted to ask Liu Jin if she had asked about this, but after thinking about it, this matter was written by the handsome Liu Daolin, and she gave the right to the third young master Liu Ang to deal with it, don't say that Liu Jin doesn't dare to take care of it, even if she does, she can't help Liu Ang, and if Liu Jin intervenes in this matter, I'm afraid that things will be more complicated, and if I get into trouble, I won't be able to get rid of it.

In this way, Liu Jin should be bored enough these days, and at this time, he can't worry about bothering him with his sister's affairs.

Maybe she felt that this topic was too heavy, so Shen Junyi casually chatted about the side content, but Lin Wanjing definitely didn't have the heart to listen carefully.
