Chapter 69: The Stone

Updated: 2013-06-11

The strange atmosphere was stalemate for a long time, and the originally relaxed and cheerful people in the courtyard also noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, but they saw four men standing in place with different expressions of cold or shame, and Lu Mengjian was unaware of Tong Zhong'er squatting on the ground and playing.

Aunt Li couldn't figure out the situation, and she didn't dare to rush forward, seeing that water vapor began to come out of the distillation furnace, she got up gently, pulled Lu Mengjian to her side, lowered her voice and asked: "What happened to Lin Gongzi today, isn't it these three ......guests?"

Before the words were finished, Lu Mengjian hurriedly put his index finger in front of his 'lips' and made a silent gesture, "We don't have to 'worry' about their men's affairs." After that, if no one else was around, she took the porcelain basin on the side and poured water on the condenser tube, and Aunt Li naturally didn't say much.

Finally, Lin Daimo's body shook slightly, and his face was still like an iceberg and said, "Let's go into the house." Although his tone was cold, Fang Yuan felt relieved when he heard it, wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead, and followed him to the hall with Yuwen Yuwu, and immediately closed the 'door' of the room.

Seeing this, a strange smile appeared on Lu Mengjian's face, it seemed that Lin Daimo couldn't escape anymore, so he could only face reality.

However, Aunt Li was faintly worried, after all, the three men were a little stronger than Lin Daimo, if there was a conflict in the room, wouldn't it be Lin Daimo who suffered, she couldn't help but look at Lu Mengjian worriedly, but she couldn't see the slightest worry on her face, and with her 'sexuality', she couldn't help but have to say a few more reminders.

"Mengjian, we live in such a remote place, aren't you really afraid that you will meet some bad people?"

"If you should meet, you will meet sooner or later, but at least we are safe now," Lu Mengjian responded with a smile, but there was also a small 'wave' in her heart, as for this problem, she was also worried, but after living here for so long, she has not found anything abnormal, and even except for these people who are familiar with each other, they can't even see the shadow of strangers on weekdays, and besides, in the wilderness, it must be impossible for those robbers to squeeze some oil and water from this place, so they can settle down.

Although the population of Shita Village is not very large, at least there are neighbors on the left and right before and after going out, even if there is something at home, you can also take care of one or two, if you are here, you can only rely on yourself, so it is inevitable that you will be worried. Thinking like this, I naturally feel unsteady.

"If Zhong'er and his father are here today, they will be able to take care of it," Aunt Li looked at the closed hall 'door', lowered her voice and said, but Lu Mengjian felt that the person in the house and Aunt Li were a family, and although he had been under the same roof with him for a long time, he didn't feel worried at all, and there were two black lines on his face.

Seven days ago, after careful consideration, and after the Li family's mother-in-law maliciously scolded the street because Zhong'er had eaten a piece of 'chicken' and 'legs' because of Zhong'er's mouth, they finally made up their minds to move to the barren ridge where Lin Daimo lived.

Although the living space here is really limited, there is no worry about eating and drinking, and Aunt Li Suri helps Lu Mengjian to 'serve', 'get', 'flowers' and grass, and she can also get some silver taels, which is also reassuring. So in recent days, after discussion, Li Dazhuang decided to buy some adobe bricks from a nearby village and build a small room next to the current forest house for his family to live in. Therefore, he had already driven the ox cart to the nearby village early this morning, and now there are only four 'women' and children in the family and Lin Daimo and a man, so suddenly there are three big men, and Aunt Li's worries are not unreasonable.

"The four of them are old friends, Aunt Li, you don't have to worry, besides, their appearance is not the kind of fierce and vicious, you just have to rest assured," Lu Mengjian's calm words undoubtedly gave Aunt Li a reassurance, although Aunt Li was still uneasy in her heart, it was inconvenient to say more.

After more than half an hour, the 'door' of the hall slowly opened from the inside, but it was Mother Liu who walked out, followed by Lin Daimo, who looked indifferent, Fang Yuan and the others stood behind them, but the expression on their faces was obviously much relaxed, and even a hint of a smile was hidden at the corner of their mouths.

Lu Mengjian realized that he was only concerned with Aunt Li to collect 'essence' oil, but he didn't notice that Liu's mother was still in the room, so he couldn't help but put on a good look, his eyes glanced at Lin Daimo's slightly drooping eyelids, but unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be aware of the gaze here, and actually raised his eyes to look here, so frightened that Lu Mengjian hurriedly lowered his head, and muttered in a low voice: "Eh, the porcelain vase I bought from Uncle Li last time is almost running out again, and it seems that I will have to buy a few more in two days." ”

As a result, Aunt Li took it seriously, and the result was stubble, "Dream note, you are mistaken, didn't the 'essence' oil we refined a few days ago fail, and those porcelain bottles haven't been used yet." ”

Lu Mengjian laughed, nodded hurriedly, and when he looked up again, Lin Daimo had already turned his gaze away, but he heard Liu Ma looking at the four people at the 'door' with a smile on her face.

"You go on, I'm an old bone, I have to get up and walk after sitting for a long time, you have to get up and walk, you are down to business, just now my old woman said nonsense, don't take it to heart," Liu's mother said and was about to raise her 'legs' and walk towards Lu Mengjian, and several people behind her whispered a few words, and returned to the room again, but this time they let the 'door' of the room open wide, and the atmosphere was no longer as tense as Fang Cai.

"What did you do today, and how did it smell different from the previous days?" Mother Liu came over and sniffed in front of the porcelain basin, and felt that this incense was different from the ones mentioned in the past, so she looked at Lu Mengjian curiously.

Lu Mengjian pursed his lips and smiled, opened the porcelain bottle in his hand, shook it in front of Liu's mother's nose, plugged the cork again, and pretended to be mysterious: "Liu's mother, don't you have a lot of knowledge, this time you can guess what kind of 'flower' fragrance is contained here?" ”

"You girl, there are so many 'flowers' in this world, how can I guess it, don't test me as an old woman," Liu's mother is old, but she is like a child, which makes the two people next to her laugh, Zhong'er heard the movement and ran over to join in the fun, but was pulled by Liu's mother and taken into her arms, "Good Zhong'er, do you know what kind of 'flower' your sister uses today?" Answer: Yes, 'milk', 'milk' gives you candy to eat. ”

Zhong'er was about to answer, but when she saw Lu Mengjian blinking her eyes slyly, her little brain turned around, and she stretched out her hand to scratch her head and said: "Liu's 'milk' and 'milk', I don't know what kind of 'flower' this is, but that 'flower' is fragrant, and it looks like the thread ball used by the mother to embroider the 'flower'." Liu's 'milk' and 'milk', does Zhong'er still have candy to eat? ”

"You little ghost," Liu's mother nodded at Zhong'er's little brain, and said with a smile, "Even if Zhong'er doesn't know, 'milk' and 'milk' have to give Zhong'er candy to eat, your sister deliberately sold Guanzi, let's not give her food." ”

Lu Mengjian deliberately made a bitter face and squatted in front of Liu's mother, Zhong'er saw that her beautiful sister was unhappy, and she was also busy breaking free from Liu's mother's arms, her little face was clear, and she said righteously: "My sister is not happy, Zhong'er would rather not eat sugar." ”

Lu Mengjian laughed again, put Zhong'er aside, took out the porcelain bottle in his arms and 'handed it over' to Liu's mother, "Mother Liu, I was joking with you just now, but what is the name of this 'flower'----"

Lu Mengjian deliberately sold Guanzi, and when he saw Liu Ma looking at herself, she turned a corner again, "Why don't we 'exchange' each other, tell me what you heard in the house just now, and I'll tell you the name of the 'flower'?" ”

Although Lu Mengjian didn't have much interest in Lin Daimo's affairs, the appearance of these four people today was very curious, and it happened that Mother Liu heard their words clearly in the room, so it was inevitable that she wanted to know a little bit in her heart.

"So you're waiting for me here," Mother Liu was not angry, she raised her finger and touched Lu Mengjian's forehead, but she smiled happily on her face, "Okay, it's not a big secret anyway, you will know sooner or later, and it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”

So 1510 told Lu Mengjian the news he heard in the room, and even Aunt Li on the side did not shy away from it. Lu Mengjian peeked at the note from the flying pigeon earlier, and was already prepared, but it seemed to be a thunderclap in Aunt Li's ears.

"What! Let Lin Gongzi be the big treasurer of Stone Ji in the city? Aunt Li exclaimed, forgetting the four people in the room, and only after saying that she realized that she was out of shape, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

"The Stone Chronicle should have belonged to our young master, what's so strange about this!" Mother Liu was very dissatisfied with Aunt Li's reaction, and couldn't help snorting coldly in her nose.

After getting along for a long time, Aunt Li only felt that Lin Daimo was not acting like ordinary people, but she only said that he was from Pulan City, and the people in the city were naturally not like the countrymen, but she didn't expect that he was the eldest son of the famous Lin family in the city, and she was so shocked that she immediately sat back on the wooden bench. Lu Mengjian had already guessed Lin Daimo's identity, so there was no surprise on her face, compared to the identity of the Lin family's less 'milk' and 'milk', she preferred the life of ordinary people.

"Since the Stone Record is owned by the Prime Minister, why is he refusing to take over the business of the Stone Record today?" Lu Mengjian thought of Lin Daimo's 'gloomy' face today, and he really couldn't figure out what to refuse about this matter, not to mention that with Liu's mother's intentions, only Lin Daimo was extremely familiar with the operation of Shiji, and Fang Yuan was his former companion reading boy, so it was inevitable to invite him to be the big shopkeeper.

"You don't know the temper of the young master of our family, the stubborn temper comes up, and he can't pull a cow back, and when he left the 'door' of the Lin family, he was humiliated by that 'woman' like that...... Alas, it's no wonder he doesn't want to be involved with the Lin family anymore! Mother Liu remembered the scene described by the people of the Lin Mansion, and inevitably felt sad for Lin Daimo, "Even if the young master really refuses to take over the Stone Record, I respect his choice." ”

When Lu Mengjian heard that there was a ready-made store to take over, he was naturally happy in his heart, at least he could improve the living environment at home, but after all, it was Lin Daimo's business, even if he was full of hope, he couldn't influence his decision.

Thinking like this, Lin Daimo suddenly came out of the hall and walked towards Mother Liu.
