Chapter 149: Ju Lou
Lin Jinrong returned to the house, and Tao sent someone to find her, and she had to blame: ...... He also said that he wanted to help your sister, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't find you when he ate, isn't this a disadvantage? Where did you go? ”
Seeing that all the daughters of the Wu family were there, Lin Jinrong said in a low voice: "When I met my uncle, he felt uncomfortable, so I sat in my aunt's room with him for a while. "The Wu family is dead, and the relationship between the Tao family and the Wu family will inevitably become alienated in the future, and what should be let them know is to let them know, so that the relationship may last longer.
Sure enough, the Yang family and others were moved, and Tao Shunqin was a long-term person. also said to Tao and Lin Jinrong: "There are some things that we can't say to my aunt, you are brothers and sisters, uncles and nephews, persuade him more, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to think about it." While they were talking to Tao, Lin Jinrong called a girl to lead the way, and went to the front to find Lin Jinyin: "I told my uncle just now, and he is also willing to let me help you." We are sisters, don't bother me. Well, we can't stay here for long, you can rest if you can, and you'll have to be busy later. ”
Tao Shunqin spoke, and Lin Chirong has not been as good as before in the past two years. Lin Jinyin thought for a while and said, "In this way, you can take care of the food and accommodation of the distant guests for me." In addition to Lin, Wu, and Lu, there are also a few business acquaintances, although the family is not high, but it is not easy for people to come from afar, and they can't be lazy. ”
To put it bluntly, he is a real businessman, a businessman who is not looked down upon by scholars and eunuchs. Lin Jinrong really likes this errand, she can get acquainted with a few more people, especially those who are in business, she is very happy, such an opportunity is hard to come by. Without thinking about it, she agreed: "I will do my best" to take care of them. What she wanted to know most was the family of the merchant surnamed Mei who took Lin Shiquan to the northern border and then went to get salt for money.
Lin Jinyin smiled slightly and gently stroked her face: "I know, my sister believes in you." ”
So Lin Jinrong was led by Lin Jinyin and introduced to the female dependents of those families, including grain merchants, cloth merchants, gold and silver shops, and incense medicines, but unfortunately there was no family member of a big businessman surnamed Mei. She couldn't help but ask Lin Jinyin, Lin Jinyin smiled: "The Mei family is from the capital, how can the female dependents come?" Master Mei is here, but he doesn't live in my house, and he has a house in Cheongju himself. ”
Lin Jinrong was disappointed, and early in the morning on the second day, with the help of Song's mother, he did his best to arrange the food, drink and accommodation of distant guests in an orderly manner, and treated the families of those merchants very measured. Dow and the others watched "very comforted."
On the twelfth day of arriving in Cheongju, Lin Shiquan sent a letter to "The Tao is the batch of cloves,
Muxiang has already found a buyer, and the price is about half lower than the one on the market. Since she was not there, he made his own decisions and sold it, and the other party promised to buy from them next time.
After reading the letter, Lin Jinrong couldn't help but smile lightly. The first step, she walked steadily, the second step, the third step, "she also walked confidently and safely." Next, it's time to do something else and wait.
It's autumn, but there is no tendency for the temperature to drop. The sun hung in the sky as usual, the trees in the yard were wilting, the autumn cicadas were chirping weakly on the trees, and the old lady Lu sat idly under the porch and carefully trimmed the golden and chrysanthemum in front of him, and Fan Bao, the chief steward of the Lu family, who was as thin as a monkey, stood aside, holding his breath and half-hanging his eyes, motionless.
After a long time, Mrs. Lu put down the scissors in her hand, looked at the chrysanthemum in front of her with satisfaction, raised her hand to tease the upside-down finch hanging aside, and said, "So, this time Lin Shiquan sold wood incense and cloves?" ”
Hearing his question, Concubine Fan's dead fish-like eyes instantly became flexible, she stood up straight, and said loudly: "Yes, 1 Bu's inquiry is clear, the buyer is a merchant from Jiangnan, surnamed Tian." I can't ask the specific price, but I can see that I am very satisfied. ”
Old Lady Lu smiled slightly, "Stare again." ”
Fan complimented: "Yes." He was about to say goodbye, but he heard Old Lady Lu say in a deep voice: "Only you know about this matter, and I want to let others know, understand?" ”
Fan Bao straightened his expression, and solemnly responded, 1 Bu Xin retreated.
Old lady Lu got up and cleaned her hands in the copper basin brought by the little maid, took the teacup and walked slowly along the corridor twice, and asked the little maid, "When will the second young master come back?" ”
The little guy lowered his hand and replied, "About the end of the month." ”
Old lady Lu waved his hand at the little guy: "Go and invite the second master." ”
After a while, Lu Jianxiao trotted to Jixian Pavilion, and he didn't care about wiping the sweat on his face, so he first saluted Old Lady Lu and greeted him: "What does Daddy command?" ”
Old Lady Lu raised her eyes to look at the verdant courtyard, and said lightly, "I heard that Taiming Mansion is going to be replaced, I'm thinking, shouldn't the saline-alkali land in our hands be allowed to rise?" It's a waste to just leave it like this, and you can't grow crops! ”
Lu Jianzhong's eyes lit up: "But this matter is not the business of the sniffers.
Old Lady Lu nodded: "That's why I want to call you, you go and ask the Lin family and the Wu family, and how many families have bought land, what are their plans?" When a new person takes office, he wants to burn three fires, do they want this fire to burn on this? "If you want to burn it, if you want to get benefits, you have to get together to say that the new person is promoted.
Lu Jian Center Leaders Meeting: "The son will get." What about Pingzhou? More talents are easy to do.
Is it for Lu Shao to ......?"
Old Lady Lu interrupted him casually and said, "Isn't Lu Mian just over there?" The Tao family is familiar there, and it is most appropriate for him to come forward. ”
Lu Jianzhong was silent for a while, and said with some concern: "But Erlang is young, he concentrates on studying on weekdays, and he hasn't done these mundane things, and the Tao family is in a new funeral, so I'm afraid I don't have the energy and mood to help promote this matter." Lu Shao has been going back and forth to Qingzhou all the year round, and the people over there are also very familiar, so let him go. ”
"What mundane thing?" Old Lady Lu said in a deep voice: "He is the eldest son of the long house!" Can't you learn it? Reading is important, but also to understand the world! Can he still rely on you and Lu Shao for the rest of his life? Let him learn! Don't spoil him! It's just a trifle, and if he can't even do this, what can I expect from him? ”
Lu Jianzhong's face turned white, and he returned to normal in an instant, and said with a smile: "Yes, my father taught me a lesson." The son wrote to the steward in Cheongju and asked him to help Erlang handle this matter. ”
Old Lady Lu glanced at him and said lightly, "No, you concentrate on handling the affairs of Pingzhou, and I will arrange it." ”
Lu Jianzhong lowered his eyes and said obediently, "Yes." Old Lady Lu looked out from under his eyebrows, he was already the second son of his grandfather, with a fat face and a white face, and his two eyebrows were as thick as his own, not as delicate as the eldest son and the third son, who looked like Mrs. Lu. At this time, there was only a submissive expression on the second son's white and fat face, and his thick eyebrows were drooping, and there was no half joy. After thinking for a while, he pointed to the place not far from Jixian Pavilion and said, "Second brother, look at how my golden bell chrysanthemum is doing?" ”
Lu Jianzhong raised his eyes and looked, only to see the stone side of Taihu Lake not far from Jixian Pavilion, a cluster of golden bell chrysanthemums as high as more than zhang was tied into a pavilion, the top was brilliant as gold, and the chrysanthemum huā thousand leaves of the size of 1 Bu Lychee were clustered into a blanket, densely packed together, so lively. The brilliant golden piercing made his eyes ache a little: "Daddy's craft has improved again." This chrysanthemum building is not a son boasting, it is definitely the first in this Pingzhou. ”
"Hehehe" Old lady Lu stroked her beard and squinted with a smile: "Second child, since childhood."
You are sweeter than your eldest brother, and you can be smart, although you can't read well, but your father has always loved you. Lu Shao's child, like you, is also able to speak, shrewd and capable. Speaking of this, Old Lady Lu raised her feet and walked towards the Ju Tower.
Lu Jianzhong hurriedly followed, holding his arm: "Daddy, the sun is too poisonous at this time." ”
"I'm not there yet!" Old lady Lu brushed away his hand and pointed to the golden bell chrysanthemum: "This chrysanthemum, if there is a branch missing, it will not have this appearance, if there is one missing, it is a deficiency." It's all indispensable. ”
A few fine sweats broke out from the tip of Lu Jianzhong's nose, and he said aggrievedly: "Thank you daddy for your teachings, my son has always remembered and will not let you down." ”
Old Lady Lu glanced back at him and said, "Just remember, now Lu Jing is not young, and Lu Lun, you have to spur them on and let them read good books, there must be someone in this family who can support the portal." It's like us, if it weren't for your eldest brother being an official outside, we wouldn't be much better than the Lin family! ”
Lu Jianzhong said with some embarrassment: "I plan to let Lu Jing go to the government examination, but Mr. said that his qualifications are not very good." Lu Lun is so naughty, he has a few whips, and he doesn't see the slightest restraint, he wants to dance with a knife and a gun all day long, and his son is really ashamed......"
Old Lady Lu sneered: "It's you who are reluctant to teach!" Lu Jing qualifications are not good? He didn't put his mind on it! Lu Lun is stubborn, but it's not your indulgence! ”
Lu Jianzhong wiped a cold sweat, his white and fat face was red and hot in the sun, but he didn't dare to defend at all.
Old Lady Lu sighed and said, "That's it, let Lu Lun come and read books with me for two hours every day from tomorrow." Pass on my words, who would dare to let him and Lu Jing go out, break his leg and drive out! Mr. He said that if he dares to study hard, just beat me, and I will be responsible for killing me! ”
Lu Jianzhong couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you, Dad." ”
Old lady Lu waved his hand: "The palms and backs of my hands are all meat, and I feel the same pain." Go down. ”
Lu Jianzhong walked out of Jixian Pavilion, stood silently in the bamboo forest for a moment, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the fine sweat on his face, and walked forward with his head down.
