Chapter 21: The Knot of the Heart
Mei Jiao'e, who was sleeping on one side, was tossed all night, and was woken up shortly after falling asleep. Seeing Lin Daiyue get up and dress, he inevitably thought about the jade bracelet promised by the other party when he was happy at night, for fear that the gold owner would regret it, so he stretched out a pair of white and tender lotus arms from the quilt and wrapped them around Lin Daiyue's waist.
"Young Master Lin, what are you doing here, are you in such a hurry, is it because the slave family didn't serve you well?" Lin Daiyue was bored in his heart, and when he heard this coquettish words, he glanced back angrily, but when he saw the delicate appearance of Yurao, the top celebrity of this Cui Xuan Building, with spring dew in his eyes, he couldn't help but lean down and kiss it again.
"My big beauty, you are so cute, this young master doesn't love enough, it's just that there is something urgent now, I'll come back later, and I promise to make your bones fall apart tonight......"
Yurao couldn't help blushing her ears, pretending to be angry and gently pushed Lin Daiyue, "Go and go, if you don't have a serious person, you know how to make fun of people." ”
"Tsk, the beauties look so beautiful when they are angry, I will bring the jade bracelet to you tonight, wait for me obediently!" After that, he reluctantly walked out the door.
The moment the door was closed, Yurao's originally smiling face was pulled down, and she wiped her kissed face with disgust, her eyes were full of hatred that she couldn't hide, "Hmph, Lin Gongzi, one day I will make you pay for your blood debts!" ”
Seeing that Lin Daiyue had finally returned home, and there was still a faint aroma of fat powder on his body, Mrs. Lin had already heard about her son's ridiculous things, and she was so angry that she pointed at Lin Daiyue's nose, trembling all over but unable to say a word.
"Mother, didn't you say big brother, no, that person will definitely die, why did he suddenly appear in the city again," Lin Daiyue sat on the chair and complained, "The third uncle was originally biased towards that person, and the will left by my father also said that half of the family property would be given to that person, in case he really didn't die, then what should I do!" ”
Mrs. Lin's head wind disease had just improved, and when she heard the news, there was like a thunderclap in her ears, and she pressed her temples tightly with her two fingers, "Impossible, I increased the dose in the wine on the day he got married, and the poison should have occurred two days after the old man's death, how could he have lived until now!" Where did you hear the news, could it be that you recognized the wrong person? ”
"Many people next to the stone record have seen it, that is, that person will not be wrong, Xiao Qingzi said that he walked very slowly, but his face was not abnormal, he just stood outside the stone for a while and left, it should not be far, I am sending people to search everywhere in the city, and I will come back to report as soon as there is news," Lin Daiyue was complacent about his decision, and even expected his mother to praise him.
"You still have the face to mention the stone, if you don't fight for it, how can the family business handed down by our ancestors be smashed like this, I don't know where to mess around all day long, and now I still have the face to say this!" Mrs. Lin said a few words, only to feel that the world was spinning and lying back on the bed.
Lin Daiyue didn't know the general situation at all, put aside the words, and asked: "What if I find that person, do you want to bring it home or ......?"
"What are you doing when you bring it home, do you want to rob you of your property! Send someone to do it quietly, don't leave anyone with a handle, you go out, I'm tired. Mrs. Lin sighed heavily, her hair was almost gray for this unsuccessful son.
The people sent out searched for a full day, but they didn't even see Lin Daimo's shadow, and the master hired him was already busy spending time drinking, and a group of people were lazy and lazy for two days, and finally had to give up.
Lin Daimo woke up the next day, but it was like a different person, his face was expressionless and silent all day, and even his eyes were out of energy, and he often stared at a place without moving, and he looked at it for a long time.
"Mr. shouldn't have encountered something unclean when he went out, and lost his soul, if it really doesn't work, ask the goddess to summon the soul, maybe Mr. will get better," Aunt Li looked at Lin Daimo with concern, "There is a goddess in the neighboring village who is very spiritual, my family Zhong'er was frightened at the beginning, so she asked her to call her back, Lin Niangzi, don't worry, I'll invite her in a while." ”
Lu Mengjian was originally an atheist, but when he heard Aunt Li say this, he couldn't refuse, so he let Aunt Li find an old woman who was chattering, and there were words in his mouth, burning paper and inviting divine water, and it took most of the day to stop, but Lin Daimo did not get better at all.
Thinking of what Lin Daimo said the night before he ran away from home, Lu Mengjian felt faintly guilty, and even left Hua Miao aside and concentrated on taking care of the patient.
Three days passed suddenly, and early in the morning, Li Dazhuang borrowed the ox cart of the old Zhao family and made a detour to the kiln of the Su family. Lu Mengjian was not worried about Lin Daimo, so he simply stayed at home and left everything to the Li couple to help.
The sky was fine, looking at the bright sunshine, Lu Mengjian looked at the flower seedlings in the courtyard, thinking of the upcoming flower pots, both excited and looking forward to it. opened the window, let the sunlight shine on Lin Daimo, and discussed softly, "The weather outside is so good, can we go out to bask in the sun?" ”
Lin Daimo's expression was still dull and noncommittal, Lu Mengjian saw this, directly put his clothes on his body, and used all his strength to carry him out of the door and sit on the small seat at the door.
"I'm really curious, what happened to you this time, can you tell me about it? I know you can understand what I'm saying," Lu Mengjian asked while pinching Lin Daimo's shoulder, only to feel that the other party's body stiffened, but immediately relaxed again, and remained silent.
"If you don't answer, let me guess. The one who can make you ignore your body and insist on running to the city is either a woman or the Lin family. However, as far as I know, the eldest son of the Lin family has never been close to women, so it can only be because of the Lin family. The stone record mentioned by Aunt Li that night should be the Lin family's property, so you are desperate to go and see the family business left by your father, but unfortunately, the century-old Lin stone record has been smashed and has to close down. Mr. Lin, did you say I guessed right? ”
Lin Daimo's stone-like stiff face finally flashed a wry smile, "Guess it right, I still can't keep the Lin family's family business after all." ”
"You are no longer the Lin family, so why do you have to pour all this bitter water on yourself?"
"That day, my father handed over the stone records to me to take care of, and even did not hesitate to pass on all his experience to me, in order to be able to live up to the trust of my ancestors and carry forward the Lin family business. But as soon as my father died, the Lin family was in chaos, and even infighting in order to share the property, although I am not the blood of the Lin family, but my father has always treated me as his own life, and now the stone record he has spent his life managing has ended up like this, it is really unfortunate for the family, ala......s, "Lin Daimo closed his eyes and tried his best to hold back tears.
"It has long been an indisputable fact that people die for money, birds die for food, and everyone in the world goes for profit. Although you cherish it, others may not see your hard work. In that case, why worry about something outside of your body. If you really want to make it back, why don't you make yourself strong enough and then take back the right to run Stone Kee? ”
Lin Daimo was stunned, like an initiation, he only knew sadness and sorrow, but he never thought of regaining the stone record, and the originally dim heart finally gradually became clear.
"Thank you for reminding me, Lin is grateful!"
Seeing that Lin Daimo's heart knot, which had been suppressed for many days, was finally untied, Lu Mengjian's heart finally fell to the ground, "Heh, thank you, I'm just casually talking, if there is anything that helps you, it can only be regarded as a crooked beating." However, the poison in your body has not been cleared yet, and you must not be willful until you have fully recovered, and you must make it clear before you go out! ”
"Now that my body is very tired, where can I still have the strength to go out, besides, the woman drugged me, I am afraid that I have long been afraid that I will fight for the family property, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not send someone to chase and kill her when she enters the city like this, but it is better to come here safely. It's just that the stone is going to be taken back no matter what! ”
"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, come on!" Lu Mengjian gave a thumbs up and shook it in front of Lin Daimo.
"Come on, what is it?"
"Well, in the past, when the young lady was unhappy at home, she poured some oil on the brazier, and then lit it, the more oil there was, the more the fire would be, and the mood would naturally become excited with the flames, and there would be motivation to do things, so she always said come on to cheer herself up," Lu Mengjian saw that Lin Daimo's face was full of doubts, so he rolled his eyes and made up a story to mix it up.
"Your young lady is really interesting, I want to see it......" Lin Daimo said and suddenly remembered Lu Mengjian's life experience, so he suddenly closed his mouth, fortunately Lu Mengjian didn't care, he still stared into the distance with a smile, and a sentence came out of his mouth unconsciously, "Come on!" ”
The ox cart full of flower pots finally came to the door, Lu Mengjian heard the sound of the car, told Lin Daimo to sit still, and ran out, only to see a thick layer of firewood and grass on the car board, large and small flower pots are scattered on the firewood and grass, and the process is much more exquisite than the sample I saw three days ago.
The three of them went into battle together, and fifteen flower pots were soon neatly arranged in the courtyard. The walls of the flower pots are outlined with various shapes of flowers and plants, almost the same as those drawn by Lu Mengjian on the drawings. Despite this, these plain pots still look coarse, not as exquisite as porcelain pots, which inevitably reduces the value of ornamentation, but the use of plain pots to raise flowers is excellent, light and cheap, and water and breathable, which is very conducive to the growth of roots.
"Uncle Li and Aunt Li are thanks to your help today, I must be thirsty after walking for so long, sit in the house quickly, I'll make tea," Lu Mengjian said, and invited the two of them to the room. Aunt Li blinked her eyes and saw Lin Daimo sitting at the door smiling slightly, and couldn't help but turn to Lu Mengjian in surprise, "Mrs. Lin, look, Mr. actually smiled, I didn't expect that the goddess to really work." ”
Lu Mengjian nodded and smiled, without explaining, and helped Lin Daimo back to the room.
"Lin Niangzi, this is the remaining four taels of silver, you take it," Li Dazhuang took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and put them on the table.
Lu Mengjian picked out a piece of it and handed it to Li Dazhuang, "Thanks to your help these days, Mengjian can't repay it, this little bit of silver is a thank you gift for Uncle Li's help, please don't dislike it." ”
