73. Refusal
Two months ago, the Huang family, a jade supplier in Lingwu County, received an order from the palace and was eager to redeem a sum of silver. wwwwcom They need a lot of silver, but what they want to exchange is half of the ownership of a jade vein mine, compared to those silver, in fact, the Huang family is a big sale. Lin Yu knew the news, and he calculated his own foundation and felt that he was quite wealthy, so he asked the shopkeeper Wu to take the initiative to contact him and buy half of the ownership at a low price.
Lin Yu originally thought that the output of the jade mine would be enough to meet the raw material needs of the Tiangongfang, and there was a surplus that could be sold to other jade shops, plus he took advantage of the fire to grab the dart list for the transportation of jade materials, this transaction was quite cost-effective.
Now that the Huang family's capital turnover is open, he felt pain when he touched the jade mine, so he came to Lin Yu and wanted to buy back what he sold.
The jade ore can be sold back, but the price is definitely not the original price. After talking for two days, Huang Ximing, the young master of the Huang family, wore out his mouth, and Lin Yu could be regarded as relieved. In two months, the jade mine bought and sold and earned 10,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as Lin Yu's kindness. In addition, Lin Yu also attached conditions such as preferential acquisition of raw materials and monopoly of dart lists, which not only made a sum of cash and ensured long-term income, but also sold the Huang family a favor.
The Huang family took back the jade mine as they wished, and compared to the money earned from doing royal trading a while ago, this 10,000 taels of silver is really nothing. As for the purchase of raw materials and dart lists, it is not a problem, who is it not to do? So both companies are satisfied with the results.
Today, Huang Ximing and Lin Yu talked about this matter, and they were in a happy mood, so they invited Lin Yu to come to the Yueyue Tower to play and consolidate the friendship between the two.
Lin Yu never came to this fireworks willow lane, but he didn't want to sweep Huang Ximing's face in a righteous and stern manner, and the recent incident of the evening mirror also made him extremely annoyed, so he agreed to come and sit down.
But the good baby Lin Yu regretted it as soon as he entered this Yueyue Building. He really didn't understand how Huang Ximing could be so happy with these vulgar fans, one or two fake praises, three or five heartless jokes, what was the attraction of him to spend a lot of money on it?
After Lin Yu sat for a while, he politely pushed away the slender jade hand on his shoulder and ran out of the private room. When he got out, Lin Yu saw a person sitting on the stone by the lotus pond, at first he thought it was also a rookie who came to Goolan Courtyard for the first time, like him, he couldn't stand the fat powder and ran out, and when he got closer, he felt that this person was a little familiar.
"What are you ......" Lin Yu pointed at Zhang He, looking up and down but didn't know what to say, he just felt that his brain was a little messy.
Zhang He is more confused than his brain. He couldn't explain his current situation, nor could he turn around and run, secretly crying bitterly in his heart. What a coincidence! This Lin Yu has never entered Goolan Courtyard, why did he come with the evening mirror this time and just bumped into him?
Zhang He stabilized his mind and asked preemptively, "Why did the eldest young master come to the Yueyue Tower?" ”
"After talking about things with Huang Gongzi, let's sit down together, what's the matter with you?"
"Then the matter of the jade mine has been settled? Huang Jiake agreed to the dart list? Zhang He completely ignored the question Lin Yu asked him, and intensively led the topic in other directions.
Naturally, I agreed. They also have to find a dart board to dart, and it's the same for us to do, compared to the jade mine, this money is nothing. ”
"The eldest young master is really calculating, this coming and going is no different from the white wolf with empty gloves, and the owner of the village must be happy. It's just that in the future, the business of the workshop will inevitably require the eldest young master to participate more. ”
Lin Yu smiled helplessly and spread his hands, "It's nothing more than good luck, if it was the shopkeeper Wu who came to talk, it would be like this, you kid don't block me." ”
Zhang He and Lin Yu chatted while walking, and led him to the door of the backyard without a trace, and bowed slightly and said: "The owner of the village asked in the afternoon, and the eldest young master should go back and reply earlier, so as not to worry about the owner." ”
"Well, I'm about to go back, and I really don't like this place very much." Lin Yu responded, thinking about how to tell Lin Moshan after he went back for a while, how to make Lin Moshan not stuff the Tiangongfang back into his hands on a whim.
Zhang He watched Lin Yu walk out of the door of the backyard, and his heart was greatly relieved. As long as Lin Yu doesn't see Wanjing leave here first, he can also take care of anything later. After all, Jiyue Villa doesn't stipulate that people can't come to visit the kiln, right?
But before Zhang He's tone was relaxed, he heard someone say, "Zhang He, let's go." ”
Zhang He lowered his head and sighed, turned his head to look at the evening mirror that came over, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He's done his best, he's out of options, and he'd better go with peace of mind. The little steward can't take care of this big thing.
Lin Yu looked at the evening mirror in a subordinate costume dumbfounded, and felt that his brain was dazed for a while, and after coming back to his senses, he jumped in front of the evening mirror in two steps, stretched out his hand and pinched her arm and looked at it vigorously, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was dazzled.
Wanjing also panicked, and said a little timidly: "Why did you come here?" ”
Lin Yu looked at the evening mirror, looked back at Zhang He, and a wave of anger ignited in his heart, looked left and right, and walked in with the evening mirror without saying anything, and found a private room where no one kicked open the door and dragged the evening mirror in.
"What do you mean!" Lin Yu pressed the evening mirror against the wall, pointed at her for a long time before asking this sentence, and her voice changed slightly because of the complex emotions.
"Brother, I'm just here to ask something."
"Don't call me brother!" Lin Yu pursed his lips, suddenly let go of the hand that was pressing the evening mirror, and said with a strange expression: "You said you were going out yesterday, and you originally said that you were coming here?" It turns out that what kind of girl's house is the so-called thing, which is to visit the kiln? Wanjing, is there something going on......" He couldn't say any more, the bitterness in his heart churned in his throat, choking sour, "You still said that you didn't hide from me, and now you don't tell me if you have something, right?" ”
"I see you've been busy lately."
"I'm not busy! No matter how busy I am, I have time to accompany you! ”
Wanjing turned his head sideways and didn't dare to look at Lin Yu's eyes, took a deep breath, and hardened his heart: "Brother, are you angry that I came to this Goolan Courtyard secretly, or are you angry that I didn't tell you something?" ”
Lin Yu froze, his lips moved for a long time and he didn't speak.
"Brother, what if I tell you? You accompanied me this time, so what about next time? In the future, when you marry and start a family, will you still be with me in everything as before? Brother, although you and I are brother and sister, we are actually not related by blood, so don't let people misunderstand anything. I...... I don't want to bear this reputation. ”
Wanjing can be regarded as making his words clear, and strangling Lin Yu's hidden intentions that he has not had time to say in his own heart.
Lin Yu's eyes looked at the evening mirror without blinking, his eyes were dry, and he lowered his head and smiled sullenly after a while, and sat down at the table a little distractedly. The moonlight seeped into the window, but it was not a foot-long light, and it was swallowed into the darkness before it touched Lin Yu's shoulder.
The evening mirror dared to turn back at this time, Lin Yu's back, Lin Yu's expression was already hidden in the darkness. She felt heavy in her eyes, but she also knew the truth of being chaotic when she was interrupted.
Love is as beautiful as a snake, and it is intoxicating when it is gentle and intoxicating, but when it is hideous, it bites people to death and dies their hearts. Lin Yu didn't understand, so he was so interested. In the final analysis, maybe I am too old, my old state of mind is desolate, I can't afford such a feeling, I can't bear to live up to it, but I can only live up to it.
Lin Yu sat silently for a while before he said in a hoarse voice, "You hate me?" ”
"Why, you're my brother."
Lin Yu laughed again. He felt that he was so stupid, and he had always thought that his identity as an elder brother was hindering his relationship with the evening mirror, and now he woke up, it turned out that only this identity could make the evening mirror accommodate his existence. It was a barrier deliberately held up by the evening mirror, she didn't regard herself as a brother, but she reminded the relationship between the two of them all the time, in fact, it was just today's rejection.
He finally figured out what had gone wrong between them. But if you figure it out, it is tantamount to cutting off your last bit of hope.
Isn't it?
At least he doesn't have to bother thinking about finding a way, in this world, except for the evening mirror, it is not difficult for him to marry anyone, as long as he is willing.
Lin Yu stood up and wiped his face, smiled a little lazy, a little careless, and said with his hand: "Wanjing, I have always said that you don't understand, I don't understand, but now it seems that I am still a fool." It's good, I can be regarded as letting go of a worry, and I will save a lot of trouble in the future. My sister, the girl's family shouldn't come to this kind of place, if you don't let people see it, it will be bad for your girlfriend reputation, and it will be difficult to find your in-laws' house in the future. ”
Wanjing looked at Lin Yu's appearance and felt a little unfamiliar, she hesitated and nodded, "Not in the future." ”
"Whatever you want." Lin Yu walked to the door, suddenly paused and turned back, "Oh, and since you don't need me to accompany you anymore, then, I think I probably don't need this anymore." With that, he reached out and pulled the red rope on his wrist hard, the red rope was so strong that it cut his wrist with a deep mark before it was broken.
"Do you want more?" Lin Yu pinched the red rope and handed it to the evening mirror. Wanjing looked at him silently, he smiled, and as soon as he loosened the red rope in his hand, it fell to the ground.
"You should go back early, too." Lin Yu opened the door and walked out without looking back. For the first time, he left the evening mirror behind him.
Wanjing looked down at the red rope for a long time before squatting down and picking it up. This was given to Lin Yu by her, after Lin Yu knew that she could see ghosts.
"So the ghost can't get close to me?" That day, Lin Yu looked at his wrist again and again, smiling like a child, "If there is a ghost, tell me, and I will block you like this!" He stretched out his arm with his back to the evening mirror, turned his head and squeezed his eyes at her, "Is it a ghost who can't come over?" ”
Wanjing squatted on the ground, held the broken red rope in the palm of his hand, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "But am I not just a ghost?" Lin Yu, you are protecting the wrong direction. ”
