It's chirping, and the evening breeze is cool.

Wu Xiang gently pushed open the door, looked at Lu Mian, who was sitting under the lamp reading a book, and said, "Reading again?" I said, do you want to do this all the time? I'm not going to take the exam like you. ”

Lu Lu raised his head and looked at him quietly for a moment, then exhaled softly: "I'm not as smart as you." If you don't work hard, how can I win you? ”

Wu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "We are not taking the exam at the same time, how can we calculate it?" If you study three years longer than me, even if you win me in the end, do you think it's fair? ”

Lu Mu said lightly: "There are high and low talents, and there is no fairness. Life is still long,

I'm not in a hurry. Even if you win the top prize, don't think that you will win me, there will be a future. ”

Wu Xiang stood for a moment and smiled: "Yes, the days are still long." Then he put a few plain white jasmine flowers in front of him: "Wake up to you!" Be careful to look bad at your eyes, and you won't be able to see the list clearly in the future! ”

Lu Mian smiled slightly, took the few jasmine flowers in his hand, looked at the light for a moment, got up and took an empty teacup and filled it with water: "I remember that there is only one place in this post station where there is jasmine lì, who helped you pinch it?" ”

Wu Bao lay down on his bed and said lazily, "My cousin and my fourth sister." After being quiet for a while, he suddenly laughed: "Lu Erlang, you are quite blessed." Good luck. ”

Lu Lu slowly looked back at him, "What? ”

Wu Xiang's eyes stared at the blue-gray tent roof of the post station: "I said, it's very lucky that you can marry the fourth sister, it's really lucky." I always thought you were either with Lin 5 or with Lin 6. The results were really unexpected. There are few people who know how to manage accounts and do business, so I don't know how the fourth sister was born. If she is a man, she will be stronger, "Maybe I will both have to back down." ”

Lu Mian pursed his lips slightly: "I am quite blessed." ”

Wu Xiang got up and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out: "If you want to surpass me, you have to work harder!" ”

Typical Wu Xiang-style arrogance.

Lu Mian looked at the few jasmine flowers in the teacup in silence, and after a long time, he firmly stretched out his hand and continued to read the book.

Wu's funeral was extremely lively, and the monks who chanted excessively in the courtyard had bright heads, shaking people's eyes. Tao Fengtang, who was dressed in linen and filial piety, reported to Master Wu and others one by one with red eyes: "I have been doing Buddhist things for forty-nine days. Shoumu is Nanmu, and the cemetery is not bad......" In a word, he walked to the Wu family and said that the Tao family tried their best to bury the Wu family.

Lin Jinyin lost a lot of weight, and Yang and the others: "The specific number was finally known, because my mother-in-law had already instructed that the funeral goods should not be too thick, and it was roughly estimated that the cemetery, longevity materials, Buddhist affairs, and funeral goods together would be about 70,000 yuan." ”

When Yang and others heard this, they all said that the funeral was decent. Second Mrs. Wu wiped her tears and sighed: "Mrs. Gu knew that she was not good for a long time, so she was busy sending Feng Xiang out at the beginning of the year. I've never seen anyone more thoughtful and thoughtful than her. ”

These words were unanimously approved by the daughters of the Wu family, and they began to praise the Wu family, and then there was a burst of sighing tears.

Lin Jinyin breathed a sigh of relief, this can be regarded as a pass. Thick burials have become a trend, marriage is about wealth, for which there are many bankrupt people, the Tao family within two years "married a woman and had children, married two daughters in a row, and held a funeral, huā fee is really amazing."

This is still a rich family and has already saved up" Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it.

In the end, it is a mother and daughter, a brother and a sister, Tao's feeling is completely different from that of Yang and others, and he gasped first when he heard the words, but he couldn't say anything in public, so he had to caress Lin Jinyin's arm and cryed: "Why did you lose weight like this?" ”

Lin Jinyin smiled extremely tiredly and didn't say anything. The mother-in-law is gone, "she is the eldest daughter-in-law, the old and the young in the family, and she is the only woman left to manage the back house and take care of them" and is also responsible for the ushering and sending of the female dependents, and she has to kneel and worship when she bows in front of the spirit to fulfill her filial piety" Can you not lose weight?

Lin Jinrong didn't talk any nonsense, so he directly took the badger from the nurse's arms, sniffed the familiar milk fragrance and kissed it in his arms, and then asked Lin Jinyin: "I'm here to help, if there's anything to do, my sister just commands." This was the main purpose of her coming to Cheongju.

Tao has never experienced a funeral, nor has he ever carried a burden like Lin Jinyin, so he doesn't know, or he hasn't personally experienced how difficult it is. Lin Jinrong clearly remembered that that the old lady Lu was gone that year, and the Lu family invited a thousand monks to do Buddhist things, and they did it for a full hundred days, and they sold 100,000 yuan for Buddhist things alone, not to mention other expenses. It was from then on that the Lu family began to decline.

At that time, Mrs. Lu was ill, and the daughters of the Lu family had to take care of the sick, and they had to greet all kinds of relatives who came to the door to mourn and fight the autumn breeze to eat and drink, and they had to go to the spirit to fulfill their filial piety, bow and kowtow, and the taste was simply indescribable. After being tossed for a hundred days, and finally after the funeral, even if he was as strong as the Song family, he was tossed and lost a lot of weight, not to mention Lin Yuzhen and Tu Shi, who fell headlong on the bed and didn't get up, and they were raised for nearly half a month. After a long time, she still felt floating when she walked, and that kind of taste, as long as she tasted it once, she didn't want to taste it a second time.

Lin Jinrong's wish was good, but Lin Jinyin really didn't dare to let her take care of things casually, so he handed over a task to her immediately: "Take care of the badger for me."

He is the one I care about the most. As if he was determined that Lin Jinrong would not refuse, Lin Jinyin went down in one breath: "Badger Lang is a little unbelievable these days, and I don't know if it's because I'm too busy and don't care much about him." The nurse takes good care of her, but she still needs to be watched."

Lin Jinrong's arm suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, and she actually knew about the child's raising and coaxing the child, but she smiled with difficulty and stuffed the badger into Tao's arms: "I won't, this job is too difficult, change it to a simple one, for example, you let me take care of the kitchen or things, entertain distant guests or something." Otherwise, it's the same if I let you do some chores. ”

Young girls like to tease children, but it's normal to be afraid of taking care of children, Lin Jinyin and Tao didn't take it to heart, Tao took it all over: "Okay, Badger Lang will follow his grandmother, be obedient." ”

The badger Lang, who was passed twice in a moment, looked at the strangers in the room with a pout, and cried loudly, Lin Jinyin hurriedly took him over, hugged him in his arms and comforted him softly, and gradually the badger stopped crying, lying in Lin Jinyin's arms with tears in his eyes and quietly holding his little hands, looking at others curiously.

Lin Jinrong silently looked at Lin Jinyin's mother and son for a moment, turned around and quietly walked out of the door, and walked forward unconsciously along the path.

There were fewer and fewer girls in the yard, and Lychee pulled Lin Jinrong's sleeve: "Girl, why did you come here?" ”

Lin Jinrong raised his head, only to find that he had unconsciously walked to the front of Wu's house. Seeing that Lychee was a little afraid, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you afraid of?" My uncle is the best person. Then he went to the door and was about to salute, but he saw that the door of the house was open, and there seemed to be a sound inside.

Usually when the owner of the house is gone, the house will be locked up and left to be cleaned up later. Lin Jinrong and Lychee glanced at each other, took a step back, and shouted boldly, "Who's in there?" ”

"Is it a girl?" In. It was Tao Shunqin's voice that came from the room.

Lin Jinrong breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the door in, "Uncle." It was almost dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining in through the window, and the room was half hazy and half gray. Tao Shunqin sat alone in front of the photo stage, looked at the bronze mirror used by the Wu family in a daze, and said in a low voice: "A group of people, only ask how much money was sold for the funeral, I don't want to hear it." ”

Lin Jinrong didn't answer, but walked to the soft couch in front of the window and sat down, listening to him quietly.

In her opinion, everyone in the Wu family may not be sad, but the world is like this, since people are dead, they must care more about what happens after death. Tao Shunqin may not understand this truth, but it is just because the pain of losing his wife is too heavy. He just needs someone to listen, and he doesn't need someone to persuade him.

"You don't know, Nan, what your aunt became a few days ago, and how much she suffered. I still keep in mind that I want to give Feng Ju a daughter-in-law, and I am worried that I will sometimes look at her so uncomfortable in the future, and I can't help but think that it would be better for her to be relieved as soon as possible. But the thought of being alone makes me even more uncomfortable. What if there is more money for the funeral? I want her to stay alive with the money. ”

"Nannan, your aunt is really a good person, especially sorry"

The sky gradually darkened, and the old and the young in the room still maintained their previous appearance, and the old said in a flat tone, and the little one listened quietly and did not move. Somehow, Lychee suddenly felt a little hairy, and she didn't dare to interrupt, so she had to ask Lin Jinrong in a low voice: "Girl, do you want to hold the lamp?" I've been out for a while, I'm afraid my wife will find it. ”

Tao Shunqin seemed to wake up from a dream, touched the fire sickle from the platform, lit the candlestick, looked back at Lin Jinrong and said kindly, "Go, uncle is fine." ”

Lin Jinrong also stood up and said in a low voice: "Uncle, my aunt is also reluctant to you. She must want us all to get over it. ”

Tao Shunqin smiled a little miserably, raised his voice and said, "I forgot to ask how your shop's business is?" If you had known that the imperial court would let go of these kinds of incense, you should have added more when you entered wood incense and cloves. ”

Lin Jinrong's heart trembled, and he lowered his eyes and said, "The business of the shop can be maintained, and my luck is good enough." ”

"It's good to be content. It will be fine in the future. Tao Shunqin was silent for a moment, and then said, "Nannan, thanks to you, my uncle has made a lot of money, otherwise just these major events in the family, plus mine, and Fengju's relatives, will have to make your eldest cousin die bitterly." ”

Lin Jinrong's heart was warm, and he looked at Tao Shunqin and said softly, "Uncle, that's just a coincidence, what I can do is too little compared to what you do." I just hope you all have a good life. My sister can't be busy alone, so let me help with some chores, which should be a piece of my heart. ”

Tao Shunqin said gently, "Okay." ”
