Qingli hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and brought it in, and smiled at Mrs. Lin who was lying on the bed: "It's the fourth girl, who quit with Mrs. Tao's uncle and came over to thank the old lady for her grace." Because the old lady was resting, Shicai saluted at the door and went back. ”

The old lady didn't squeak.

She was facing the wall inward, and Qingli couldn't see her face clearly, so she said tentatively: "Old lady, do you want to drink water?" ”

"Don't drink it." The old lady said slowly and coldly: "It turns out that she still has my grandmother in her eyes. ”

Qingli was speechless for a moment. The daring old lady has been waiting for Lin Jinrong to thank her, if the fourth girl didn't come, I am afraid that even if she kowtows to the old lady in the future, the old lady may not look at her squarely. People, just love to fight for this breath.

Lin Jinrong returned to his small courtyard, and two groups of people came in a row. The first dial is the loquat next to Lin Jinyin. Loquat sent Lin Jinrong a box of gold and silver bills that had been weighed, and passed Lin Jinyin's original words to Mama Gui and others behind her back: "The third girl said that she didn't approve of you doing this. But money is something outside the body, but you are her only sibling sister, if you insist on it, she will give it, it will be a blessing, and if you don't succeed, you will remember this lesson. ”

How could it not be? Sure enough, Lin Jinyin, a steady big sister, still has to be stabbed to succeed. Lin Jinrong smiled and accepted Lin Jinyin's reprimand, collected the gold and silver in the box, and then rewarded the loquat with his own hands, and the loquat seemed to be smiling: "It is the duty of the slave and maid to run this trip, the girl really wants to be rewarded, just wait for you to make money and then reward, the slave and maid will not be too much." After a pause, he kindly reminded: "What the third girl means, there is no need for insignificant people to let them know, it will save a lot of trouble." ”

Get! This girl has always been considerate of others, and she speaks well, what a treasure, no wonder she later became the housekeeper of the Tao family. Lin Jinrong smiled and instructed Lychee to send the loquat out, and lay ink and paper under the lamp, writing how much gold and how much silver, so that it could be handed over to Tao Fengtang.

Mama Gui and Gui Yuan didn't know what she had just done, they only wondered why she was writing in ink in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but be confused: "What is the girl going to do?" "There are countless little paws scratching and scratching in Guiyuan's heart, didn't the third girl just quarrel with the fourth girl? Why did you send another box of things? What is the mystery of loquat? What is it?

Lin Jinrong smiled lightly: "I asked my eldest cousin to help me buy some novelties in the field, and I am writing a list." "Both of them are illiterate, so it's easy to coax.

Gui Yuan also died down, she thought very smartly, the box of things is probably what the third girl wants to give to the young master, but she is embarrassed to open her mouth and borrow the hand of the fourth girl?

Without further ado, as soon as Lin Jinrong laid out the posture here, Lychee walked in and said with a strange expression: "Girl, when you were greeting the third master, you dropped a purse, and Aunt Huang personally sent it to you." "I don't know what this black light is blinding, what Aunt Huang is doing secretly with a girl.

In the past, Aunt Huang also loved to do this kind of face-saving love, but Lin Jinrong never easily refused to see her, and she didn't admit it. Mama Gui followed her old habits and said, "The girl rests in peace, and waits for the old slave to go out to serve her aunt." ”

Lin Jinrong put down the pen in his hand and said lightly: "My aunt is kind, how can she be so neglectful of her?" Invite my aunt in for tea. ”

Mama Gui was still a little hesitant, but Lin Jinrong had already walked out, and greeted Aunt Huang who was standing under the porch with her back to herself, staring at the angry wind lamp on the top: "Auntie, what is a purse expensive?" In the middle of the night, it rains and cold, and it is the same to make a person or meet me another day. Come in and warm up with a cup of hot tea. After a pause, his eyes stopped on the double-layer black lacquer food box that Aunt Huang's personal maid Zao'er was carrying.

Aunt Huang smiled modestly, her eyes also fell on the black lacquer food box with Lin Jinrong's gaze, and her tone couldn't be more affectionate: "The third master wants to eat osmanthus balls, the slave thinks about the rain and cold at night, and everyone is comfortable to eat a bowl of hot food and sleep, so I made more and sent it to my wife, the third girl, and the fifth young master. ”

"Auntie has a heart, thank you." Lin Jinrong gave her a half-salute, welcomed her into the house, and invited Aunt Huang to sit on the couch by the window, and the lychee served hot tea.

Gui Yuan was about to pick up the food box in Zao'er's hand, but Zao'er shrank, glanced at Aunt Huang, and laughed crisply: "It's rare for a slave to have a chance to serve the fourth girl, so don't fight with your sister." ”

Gui Yuan was furious, the master and servant were all shameless, kicking their noses in the face, the master robbed the man, and the maid ran to rob the girl, what is the reason! Just as he was about to sarcastically say a few words, he heard Lin Jinrong say: "Longan, my aunt is rare to come here, I remember that we still have some lotus root cakes, you go to the hot end to invite your aunt to taste it." Looking at it like this, the purse and the osmanthus balls are just an introduction, she wants to know, what is the bottom layer of these two layers of food boxes? Why not create an opportunity for Aunt Huang?

Gui Yuan was not angry, but he didn't dare not listen, so he had to bow and retreat, Lin Jinrong called Gui Mama again: "Mama, please help me see the hot water, I blew a cool breeze and rained earlier, and after some cold, I want to bubble." ”

"Yes." Mama Gui glanced gloomily at the lychee standing on the side, and retreated lightly.

At this moment, Zao'er had already opened the first layer of food box, took out a pink and blue porcelain bowl with both hands and handed it to Lin Jinrong. The unique sweet fragrance of osmanthus balls drilled into Lin Jinrong's nose one by one, she smiled slightly, and without hesitation, she took a spoon and scooped a ball into her mouth, savored it, and sighed: "Auntie is a good craft, this is the only one who can make such a taste of osmanthus balls." ”

Aunt Huang said with a smile: "If the girl likes to eat, just send someone over and say it, even in the middle of the night, the slave will also make it for you." ”

Lin Jinrong smiled slightly, and said honestly: "Where do I have that blessing?" Didn't you kill me? My father was the first to spare me, and the fifth brother was afraid that he would also blame me for tossing my aunt. ”

Aunt Huang was stabbed lightly by her big truth, but she didn't take it to heart, and said with a faint smile: "The girl is joking, if it weren't for you, how could the fifth young master be let go by the old lady so easily?" The slave is crude, but it is a memory. It's inconvenient for you to go out for half a month, and it's inconvenient for slaves to come and explore. But the hand has never stopped, the two pairs of shoes you want, you have already got a pair, and they will be sent together in a few days, if it is not for the third master is sick, you can take it together today. ”

Lin Jinrong nodded, and went straight in: "I don't know what kind of purse my aunt picked up?" Can you show me? "Whether she has dropped her purse, she knows best, whether Aunt Huang has picked up her purse, Aunt Huang also knows best.

Aunt Huang's face changed several times, cloudy and uncertain, and her eyes were a little erratic, and then, her eyes fell on the paper on the table that Lin Jinrong had not had time to put away, her eyes lit up, and she said in a broken voice: "Fourth girl, the slave came in the middle of the night to ask for something." ”

The spoon in Lin Jinrong's hand slowly scooped up a round osmanthus ball, and the fish was hooked, but if she was not careful, it was likely that all the hard work and calculations were wasted. Steady, steady! She fed the osmanthus ball into her mouth and smiled faintly: "Auntie is wrong to love, I am still guilty now, I'm afraid I won't be able to help my aunt." ”

Aunt Huang frowned slightly and said: "Fourth girl, I'm not the one who doesn't know how to look at the head, this matter is not difficult, as long as you raise your hand slightly, it will be good for me, good for my wife, you, and even our three rooms." ”

"Oh?" Lin Jinrong looked at Aunt Huang with a smile: "I would like to hear about it." "It's because Aunt Huang knows how to look at the head too well, otherwise she wouldn't have hit Aunt Huang with her idea.

Aunt Huang motioned for Zao'er to go out, and Lin Jinrong also let Lychee out.

The lower layer of the double-layer food box was opened, and it was full of gold and silver bills of different sizes, not many of them, similar to Lin Jinrong's own private room. Aunt Huang's fingers were digging at the edge of the black lacquer food box, a little undecided.

Lin Jinrong ate another osmanthus ball, and smiled faintly: "What did my aunt do when she took these gold and silver for no reason?" ”

Aunt Huang raised her eyes to look at Lin Jinrong. But seeing Lin Jinrong sitting under the lamp, smiling smartly, with a little disdain, as if he had seen through his tricks, but deliberately pretending to be confused, he simply gritted his teeth: "I heard that the price of gold and silver in Qingzhou is higher than that in Pingzhou." ”

Lin Jinrong smiled, and the spoon was thrown into a small bowl by her, making a crisp sound of "clanging", and her voice seemed to be wrapped in a layer of ice: "Auntie's ears are really good." But even so, that's not your business. ”

A faint, but particularly bold smile bloomed on Aunt Huang's lips: "Fourth girl, it's not the courage of the slave, but the kindness of the girl, the slave can't be easily brushed." ”

Lin Jinrong's eyes were full of coldness, and he stared at Aunt Huang motionlessly.

Yes, even if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew that there were some things that couldn't be hidden from Aunt Huang, for example, taking gold and silver to Qingzhou to exchange for the price difference, Tao was not the first in this family to do it, and it would not be the last to do it. Such an easy way to make money, how could a person like Aunt Huang, who especially needs gold and silver, not know? And last night, despite Lin Jinyin's opposition, she deliberately dragged Tao Fengtang to say that in the courtyard of Lin San's courtyard, which originally had another purpose.

She was fishing, fishing for Aunt Huang's slippery fish. Aunt Huang, like her, is a person who is particularly eager for money, especially Aunt Huang's status is low, and she is not free to enter and exit, even if she knows the way and knows that Tao is doing such a thing, she has no way out, there is nothing to do, and she is envious and can't. She deliberately told Aunt Huang about what she was going to do, taking advantage of the moment when Aunt Huang's false fire was surging, and waiting for Aunt Huang to make a bold leap. And at this moment, Aunt Huang really followed in her footsteps and jumped up bravely!

However, Lin Jinrong did not feel the joy and excitement of imminent success, her mind became more and more calm and clear, and she heard her voice like a straight line without any ups and downs: "Auntie's words are too profound for me to understand." ”
