040, grandchildren and grandchildren (2)
was interrupted by Liu Jiaojiao's slippery trick, and the anger in Lei Zhong's heart calmed down a little, but he still couldn't hide his worry on his face, his brows were tightly locked, and he was thinking about a safe way to solve this matter.
Seeing this, Liu Jiaojiao didn't bother him, but went back to Liu Jun and sat down, and whispered to him.
"Brother, I didn't mean to do it just now, I just wanted to coax grandpa, you also know that older people have to coax, don't be angry with me." Although she knew that Liu Jun should not be angry because she snatched his tea cup, she still felt that it would be better to explain.
Liu Jun inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, let alone a cup of tea, as long as his sister wanted, he could offer anything with both hands without hesitation, as for apologizing to him carefully?
Thinking about it like this, his face was a little unpleasant, and he replied dryly: "I won't be angry with you." ”
Liu Jiaojiao was stunned, wasn't she? Really angry?
She also has a temper, isn't it just a cup of tea, as for it? Last time, I said that I could give up my life for her, but this time I just grabbed a cup of tea and showed her face, and it was really a man's mouth, a deceitful ghost!
Lei Zhong finally came up with a solution, raised his head and was about to speak, but found that the brother and sister with excellent feelings seemed to be awkward, and they each started separately and ignored each other.
What's going on? What just happened?
Lei Zhong asked Liu Jiaojiao suspiciously: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you and your brother?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao replied quickly in a stiff tone: "It's okay!" Grandpa, have you come up with a good idea? ”
Seeing his granddaughter's stubborn appearance, Lei Zhong shook his head helplessly, it's okay, it's better not to mix up the conflicts between children, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and they can't care too much.
"Do you remember the forester who bought your 100-year-old ginseng?"
Liu Jiaojiao thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about the forester who urgently needs ginseng to save her daughter?" ”
Lei Zhong bowed his head and said, "It's him." Lin Mansion is also a big family in the town, and his power is a little stronger than that Zhou Yuanwai, if he is willing to mediate, Zhou Yuanwai will definitely be able to dispel that idea. ”
"Is this forester easy to deal with? And it doesn't seem like a big deal for us to beg people rashly, right? ”
"Hehe, girl, you can rest assured of this, Lin Yuanwai has always been kind and benevolent, and has an excellent reputation, but it is not comparable to the kind of people outside Zhou Yuanwai. And if it weren't for your ginseng, his precious daughter wouldn't have been able to save him, so he wouldn't have ignored this. ”
Liu Jiaojiao still frowned, and said lightly: "Although that ginseng saved his daughter's life, he also gave a corresponding reward, and we are equal to two Qing, if I use this reason to ask for help, will he think that I am blackmailing?" ”
Lei Zhong didn't think so far, after a little thought, he felt that what she said still made some sense, and immediately hung up his frowns and sighed: "What should I do?" Although grandpa has a slight yield, he can't compare to Zhou Yuan's wealth after all, even if I have the heart to fight with him, I'm afraid that I won't be able to shake him in the end. ”
Liu Jiaojiao hurriedly comforted: "Grandpa, I'm just talking about my own thoughts, and I can't represent the forester." At present, it seems that we can only escape this catastrophe if I ask him to make a move, and I ask my grandfather to help deliver a post, so that I can go to the house and talk to him in person, and I will try to see if I can move him. ”
Lei Zhong thought about it and nodded in response, immediately picked up the pen to write a letter of worship, and said to her after writing: "Grandpa will go with you." ”
Liu Jun also stood up immediately and said urgently: "I will also accompany you." ”
Liu Jiaojiao threw a roll of her eyes when she heard this, and pouted, "Who wants you to accompany you?" ”
Liu Jun saw that her sister was unhappy, and she also felt that her actions were too petty, so she hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Jiaojiao, it's my brother's fault, my brother is wrong, you can forgive me once, okay?" ”
"What's wrong with you? How did I not know? ”
"I shouldn't be careful, I shouldn't think you're angry with me just because you explained it to me, and I shouldn't be angry with you."
Liu Jiaojiao was stunned, it turned out that the reason why Liu Jun was angry was not the cup of tea, but that she felt that she had explained to him that the two of them had separated.
She suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, what is this called? Both of them are angry in the wrong place.
Walking up to Liu Jun, standing on tiptoe and patting his head a little harder, Liu Jiaojiao said angrily: "I don't want to explain to you that I am not having a relationship with you, it is precisely because we are the closest people that I don't want you to have any misunderstanding about me, if you are an inconsequential person, I will explain to you when I am full of food!" ”
Liu Jun's bad mood disappeared in an instant, especially after hearing the phrase "the closest person", it was like eating chilled watermelon on dog days, drinking warm hot tea for three dog days, and feeling comfortable from the inside out, and involuntarily showing a smirk.
Seeing the smirk on his little brother's face, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, Lei Zhong looked at the two of them who had reunited so quickly, and sighed secretly that it was good to be young.
In the end, the three of them went to the Lin Mansion together.
The forester received them in person in the drawing room.
He was very familiar with Lei Zhong, but he had never seen the young man and the little girl who came with him, and after a few polite words between the two sides, he inquired: "Lei Dongjia, who are these two?" ”
Lei Zhong asked him with a smile: "This little girl is the granddaughter of the old man, named Liu Jiaojiao, and this young man is her brother, named Liu Jun, both of whom live in the village as medicine pickers." Does my grandfather remember that hundred-year-old ginseng? It was picked by my granddaughter in the mountains. ”
"Really?" The forester's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Liu Jiaojiao, who was sitting there obediently, and was a little suspicious that this girl who looked no more than eight or nine years old could have such a skill, "Little girl, how did you pick that ginseng?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao showed a smile, neither humble nor arrogant, and replied: "If you return to your grandfather, that ginseng plant is pure luck, maybe God pities me and my brother for having too difficult a time, so he gave this wealth." ”
"I don't think you're very old, why do you know this? As far as I know, 100-year-old ginseng is not that easy to pick. The forester was obviously not satisfied with her answer, and pressed forward step by step.
Liu Jun just wanted to defend her, but she quickly held him down, shook his head at him without a trace, and then looked at the forester, and said with a smile: "Although I am not very old, my memory is quite good, and my parents taught me the knowledge of herbal medicine and the method of collecting herbs when I was a child. ”
Lei Zhong helped her explain: "Grandfather, this child is a hard-working person, I don't know who threw her on the mountain when she was five years old, but fortunately, her brother picked her up and raised her home. It is estimated that he suffered some sins back then, so he didn't speak or go out for five years. It wasn't until recently that he accidentally fell into the water and narrowly escaped death that he returned to normal, and then he remembered what happened before he was five years old. It's a pity that she was too young at the beginning, and she only remembered that her father and mother owned a pharmacy, and she also had knowledge of medicinal herbs, but she couldn't remember anything else. ”
If other people say this, they may not believe it, but when it comes out of Lei Zhong's mouth, he has no choice but to believe it.
He knows very well that Lei Zhong is a person, an upright person, and will never talk empty words.
In an instant, he stopped thinking about continuing to investigate, looked at Liu Jiaojiao's eyes with a little pity, and his voice softened a little, and said, "I see, it's a smart little girl." ”
Liu Jiaojiao understood that Lei Zhong deliberately told her life experience to make the forester relax her vigilance, and when she heard the words, she showed him an innocent and sweet smile.
The forester looked at Lei Zhong, "You didn't come here today to introduce me to your granddaughter, did you?" ”
Lei Zhong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Grandfather, the old man has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. As he spoke, he told Liu Jiaojiao about her relationship with Zhou Yuanwai, "Although the old man feels sorry for his granddaughter, he has no choice but to speak lightly, and it is impossible to shake Zhou Yuanwai's decision, so he has to be cheeky and ask for his grandfather to come." ”
After speaking, he pulled up the Liu Jun brothers and sisters, got up and bowed to the forester.
Lin Yuanwai couldn't look at Zhou Yuanwai's consistent arrogance, and hurriedly helped a few people up, and said with a hint of annoyance: "This old man just lacks virtue and does too much to have a stupid son, but I didn't expect him not only not to introspect, but also to harm others, don't worry, I am in charge of this matter!" ”
Until the three of them left the Lin Mansion, Liu Jun was still a little unbelievable that the matter was solved so easily, and he asked Lei Zhongdao in surprise: "Lei Dongjia, why is this forester so easy to talk to?" He thought he had to find a way to beg and beg to get him to help.
Lei Zhong smiled meaningfully, "If the old man guessed well, Lin Yuanwai would have wanted to attack Zhou Yuanwai for a long time, as the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and Zhou Yuanwai is a person who is used to doing evil, we just gave him a chance to rectify the other party." ”
Liu Jiaojiao continued: "And he also sold it to my grandfather, after all, I can pick a hundred years old ginseng, who knows if I can pick more excellent herbs in the future, rich and noble families are not short of money, and it is inevitable to prepare some life-saving best medicinal materials, just in case." This forester is definitely not as simple as it seems. ”
"Hahaha, girl, you're right, that's the idea he played. Although he is not as vicious as Zhou Yuanwai, how can he be a harmless sheep who can start such a big business from scratch. ”
"Grandpa, do you mean that if Zhou Yuanwai is a menacing wolf, this forester is a thoughtful old fox?"
"That's right, so you have to be more careful when you interact with people like this."
"Well, I remember, Grandpa."
Although Liu Jun is smart, when it comes to how to compare with the two people in front of him in terms of the twists and turns in interpersonal relationships, he has to smile wryly, but he decides in his heart to learn more and watch more, so as not to be too stupid and drag his sister back in the future.
