A rain in early autumn immediately cooled me by an octave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Lan was okay, but Ping'er and Yinglian added a small gown. Ping'er helped Lin Lan comb her hair, and the wooden comb in her hand parted a lock of combed sideburns, and said, "Young Master." ”
"What's wrong?"
Ping'er said hesitantly: "Actually, Ping'er didn't finish the message from the house yesterday. ”
"Heh, you girl, have you learned to sell off with the young master?"
Ping'er blushed and said, "No. I saw that the young master was in such a good mood yesterday, and I didn't want to spoil your mood, young master, so I put it on today. ”
"Yo, when did my Ping'er become so considerate?"
Ping'er was embarrassed by Lin Lan's face, and her face became even hotter, "It's Mrs. and a few grandmothers, saying that they have arranged family affairs, so that you can go back at the end of the year to have a preparation." ”
"Which girl? How old have you grown? How does it look? Do the three views match? ”
Ping'er's head shook like a rattle, and she didn't know what to ask.
Lin Lan muttered: "It seems that a deck of mahjong cards still failed to make the mother-in-law forget her business......"
"Young master, the lady's vision will not be bad."
Lin Lan rolled her eyes and said, "You know this?" ”
Ping'er pursed her lips, "And Miss, she said that she was tired of Yangzhou and wanted to come to Jinling to see the world, by the way, ......"
"Send someone back with a message, there is a vicious tiger in Jinling, let the young lady not wade into the water."
“……”
The women of the Lin family, none of them are really trouble-free, and they give themselves a headache. Lin Lan will naturally not be stupid enough to disobey the meaning of his elders, but after all, he is choosing a daughter-in-law for himself, if it is really unsatisfactory, it will be a lifelong matter after marrying, of course he will have to ask.
In the afternoon, a carriage slowly arrived at the manor. Xue Zhen took a beautiful woman to the manor. The Xue family is a family of merchants, and there are not so many constraints on the daughter of the lady. The corrupt Confucian ideology of the Dajing Dynasty was popular, but it was not so corrupt to the extreme. Before a woman is married, she can still come and go freely.
"Brother Lin is really at ease."
Lin Lan saw that it was Xue Zhen who was visiting, and went out to greet him: "Brother Xue, is there anything important today?" ”
"What? Can't you come and visit Brother Lin if you have nothing to do? ”
Lin Lan smiled, glanced at the delicate woman on the side, and asked, "......Who is this?"
"Oh, sister Baoqin, the manuscript of the poem I gave to Brother Lin a few days ago, I said that I would have the opportunity to let Brother Lin give me some guidance in the future, and this girl was in a hurry to come over, so I brought it." The Xue family has three rooms, Xue Zhen's father died early, and he is naturally the one who is in charge, bringing his sister over, naturally he didn't gossip, and the old lady of the Xue family is now focusing on the second room, so naturally he doesn't have the heart to care about these two brothers and sisters who have been free-range for a long time.
"Baoqin has seen Lin Gongzi."
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Come into the house and sit." In the countryside, there are no good things to entertain, some coarse tea melons and fruits, but don't dislike it. ”
"Where will it be, I'm tired of eating dishes at home." Bao Qin smiled shyly.
Xue Zhen and Lin Lan on the side were stunned.
The sun is coming out in the west? I don't think so.
"Ahem. Today's sister is a little different. ”
Bao Qin glanced at her brother and said, "Is there one?" ”
"Great!"
"Maybe it's better here."
"I think so...... People, right? ”
……
……
Autumn is slightly bright, and a large ginkgo tree in the backyard has fallen yellow leaves.
As soon as the wind blew, countless butterflies fell.
"Are there any actions in the second room these days?"
Xue Zhen walked beside Lin Lan and said, "A few days ago, I went to the old lady's place for dinner, but the second room was silent, and it seemed that he was still swollen and fat. ”
"What did your uncle say?"
"These days are busy, and it's also because Brother Lin mentioned it at the beginning. Now he has become an uncle's confidant, taking care of some of the Xue family's non-important industries, although he is busy, it is better than being idle. However, it seems that the old man has completely given up the long house, and the cloth industry, tea, as well as the most important money and official salt, have all been elevated in the long house, and the henchmen of the second room have intervened. ”
Lin Lan said: "Then you help your uncle do things, what did the old lady say?" ”
"I didn't have a big reaction, so I was asked to learn something."
Lin Lan watched the wind blow the fallen leaves, rolled up a pile of residual leaves, and said, "Since you are still enduring it, you will inevitably make some moves." Bao Cheng said that all the cloth shops of the Xue family in Jinling have basically closed their doors and closed their businesses, the weather is cold, and the high-quality silk is difficult to sell, and then their real winter is coming. ”
"To be honest, I feel a little sorry for my second uncle. If my eldest father finds out about it, he will probably beat me to death. ”
Lin Lan smiled: "What if you find out?" Your old lady's shopping mall has been up and down all his life, if he knows the details, he will definitely hand over the cloth business to you, do you believe it? It's just that now we have to make your second uncle and father fall even worse. ”
"So what do I do next?"
"Take care of the business that your uncle handed over to you, and when necessary, as long as you make a move, you can completely turn over." Lin Lan started with the business of Xuejia Buzhuang, and naturally the drunkard did not mean to drink. The money and official salt business in the hands of the Xue family are naturally out of touch for the time being, and the generation of family owners who can support the Xue family will also be able to rely on it in the future, which is the point.
By the time Lin Lan and Xue Zhen finished talking, the two girls on the swing had already discussed poetry.
"Eun Gong."
"Lin Gongzi."
Xue Zhen rolled his eyes, these two girls had already directly regarded him as the background, so they didn't bother themselves, and dodged away without saying a word.
"Sister Baoqin just said a lot of poetic opinions, which opened Yinglian's eyes."
Lin Lan smiled: "You can't learn her poems." Nostalgic poetry, you have to have a sense of people to do it, you are not deeply involved in the world, the poems you make are superficial, but laughing and generous. ”
Baoqin got up, bit her lip and said, "What Brother Lin said is not right. What's wrong with our superficiality? The words can be meaningful, the ancient lyricism, who can be as powerful as you as soon as you learn poetry. ”
Seeing that this chick was so willful, Lin Lan just smiled and said, "Okay, it's up to you." I read the words made by Miss Xue, following the trajectory of history or legends, and there is a riddle cleverly hidden behind it. ”
Bao Qin snickered and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, compared with Brother Lin's Mid-Autumn Festival and Shangyuan Festival's two masterpieces, it's really a big deal." ”
"Uh......" Lin Lan didn't know what to take, the woman's mind was really unpredictable, this chick was a little resentful just now, and now she began to praise him again.
