Chapter 238: Distant Relatives
Jane meant: "If people are diligent and have good character, that's not bad." It's just a little older, and it's a little farther away. ”
"It's not too big, it's far away to know how to hurt people, but it's hard to guarantee that you marry someone close to home, and it may not be close to you in the future, maybe you can go farther" Lin Yuzhen kept making excuses, as soon as she thought of Lu Jianxin's letter, Old Lady Lu's warning was irritable, and she threw the orange petal in her hand into the crystal plate in distress: "I think it's not bad, after all, Ah Yun's age is really not young, but she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to listen to me in detail, she just says that this person is so old, there must be a concubine by his side." What kind of thing do I mean concubine? But the existence of chickens and dogs, if you don't like it, you sell it, but she can't listen to it. She doesn't have a sister, so go and persuade her for me. "Persuade people who are unwilling to marry, and whose eyes are above the top, to marry, there is no more difficult errand than this, Lin Jinrong secretly complained, but he couldn't shirk it, so he had to say: "I have never mentioned this matter with Ah Yun before, and I don't know if she is willing to listen to me." "This person is nearly ten years older than Lu Yun, and he is not a famous talent, and this person is only a magistrate of a middle and lower county, and he doesn't know what his appearance and character are, compared to Wu Xiang, it is really far behind.
Lin Yuzhen accepted the reality, but Lu Yun didn't, it can also be said that Lu Yun understood the reality, but he didn't want to admit it, let alone accept it.
What can I do if I can call Lin Jinrong?
After this incident, the Lu Mansion finally quieted down. Lin Jinrong naturally will not let go of this opportunity to strengthen her own foundation, she walks forward steadily and cautiously, not arrogant or impatient, and is becoming more and more handy in taking care of family affairs, although occasionally there will be small conflicts with Tu and Lin Yuzhen, but in general, things are according to her plan step by step... There is no mistake, her life is busy and fulfilling, and her mood is calm and unwavering.
The tea shop was successfully opened, and it became a well-known and elegant place in Pingzhou City, a group of scholars led by Wu Xiang and others loved to come here to chant poems and fight against them, and there were high-rollers from Jiangnan who came here to do business, and they also loved to go here for recreation: the sorghum planted in the saline-alkali land was harvested, and the tenants were very satisfied: Lin Shiquan became more and more old and spicy as he practiced, and discussed with Lin Jinrong, just waiting for Wu Xiang to help get the household registration, and then open a fragrant medicine branch there.
Tao Fengtang bought a very beautiful house in Jiangnan, and when Lin Jinrong corresponded with Lin Jinyin, he tried to persuade her to persuade Tao Fengtang to buy more properties, and said that Jiangnan is really a place worth visiting, even if he is reluctant to move his family over, it is a very good attempt to live for a few years. Lin Jinyin was a little tempted, but he couldn't make up his mind, Lin Jinrong was not in a hurry, he just inadvertently revealed a little Jiangnan style in the monthly routine letter to the lonely Tao Shunqin.
Busy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, summer goes to winter, and it is more than half a year.
Approaching the winter solstice, the sky that had been hazy for several days finally cleared, Lin Jinrong and Lin Shiquan finished the account, returned home and dealt with the stewards again, they were already tired, so they handed over the rest of the things to Lychee and Fangzhu to do, and was about to bask in the sun on the couch for a while, Gui Yuan came in and said: "Grandma, the eldest lady please come over." ”
Lin Jinrong struggled to get up: "Do you know what's going on?" ”
"I don't know.
Gui Yuan said cautiously: "But just now I heard that the eldest grandmother is pregnant." As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Lin Jinrong, and secretly thought, this grandmother has been in the door for more than half a year, and there has been no movement, although it is not obvious on the surface, but it is also anxious, right? I'm sure I'd not like to hear that even more. When Gui Yuan thought about it, he had a bit of self-righteous caution on his face.
Lin Jinrong knew her very deeply, and when he saw her nose, he knew that she was thinking and didn't say anything, so he just ordered with a faint expression: "The second master is going home today, remember to let the kitchen send the meal later, take a pot of mutton, and prepare a pot of wine to warm it." ”
Gui Yuan responded, and he didn't mention it when he went to arrange.
Lin Jinrong finished decorating, and stood at the head of the door to look at the longan who was instructing the little girls to do things under the corridor. Longan has grown into a crow and crow's hair has a gorgeous glazed plum hairpin, more and more lined with the neck of the snow-white, not tall or short, born with a slippery shoulder and water snake waist, even if he wears thick clothes and plain clothes in winter, but he can't hide his graceful figure, which is the best age for women.
Lin Jinrong quickly retracted his gaze, called cherries, and steadily descended the steps towards the outside of the courtyard. At this time, it was midwinter, although the sky was clear and the sun could not shine, it was still cold and tight, Lin Jinrong did not shoot the sun, and walked in the sunny place, the sun shone warmly on the body, making people's bones crispy, just want to lie down and sleep well.
Cherry happily followed her and chattered: "Grandma, I like to bask in the sun so much, how nice it would be if it was sunny every day and not snowing?" Less charcoal should be consumed at home. ”
Lin Jinrong said with a smile: "Silly girl, if it's sunny like this every day, if it doesn't snow, you should drink the northwest wind next year." ”
Cherry stuck out her tongue, as carefree and cheerful as ever. The master and servant deliberately went around the outside for a little longer, and only then entered Lin Yuzhen's door when they were warm.
Lu Yun was leaning on the edge of the smoke cage in a daze, and when he saw Lin Jinrong coming in, he hurriedly got up to say hello to her and resigned. Lin Jinrong's eyes were sharp, seeing that Lu Yun's eyes were a little red, and Lin Yuzhen's face was not good-looking, so he didn't say much, saluted quietly, and sat aside and waited for Lin Yuzhen to speak.
Lin Yuzhen recorded a handful of orange peels in her hand, motioned to Lin Jinrong to help lift the smoke cage, threw the orange peels into the charcoal basin, and said casually: "The day after tomorrow is your seventh sister's wedding banquet." ”
The orange peel was burned by the charcoal fire and there was a burst of green smoke, gradually drying and wrinkled, turning black and red, exuding a faint fragrance, Lin Jinrong took a deep breath and said, "He Yi has arranged it, but what else does my aunt have to order?" ”
Lin Yuzhen frowned slightly and said: "A distant relative of your second uncle's family is coming to congratulate, I don't know if you remember, it is surnamed Jin, called Qianyu, it is your second aunt's cousin, who came to Pingzhou back then, and lived in the house for half a month." ”
Lin Jinrong thought that she would talk about Lu's pregnancy, but when she saw this, she immediately felt a little energetic. Although Lin Yuzhen was vague, wasn't this what Lu Yun's future husband was talking about, but Lin Yuzhen was impatient to talk to her about it at that time, and she only knew about it after the matter had been decided. She didn't know the specifics of it, but she remembered that this family affair was repeated several times before it was completed. But at this moment, she naturally couldn't say that she knew, so she only said in a trance: "I was still young at that time, I can't remember." ”
Lin Yuzhen didn't care if Lin Jinrong remembered it or not, she just wanted to discuss it with someone she could be relatively trusted. "I remember a little bit in a trance, but I'm too old to remember what he looked like, and besides, he was still young at that time, and he will change when he grows up. I heard your second aunt say that she is a talent now, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Lin Jinrong said cautiously: "The second aunt has not returned to Ning for many years, and she has little contact with the Jin family on weekdays. What's wrong with this person? Lin Yuzhen didn't want to say more, so she hesitated for a while and said, "This person has now become the magistrate of Qing County over there in Yizhou." Lin Jinrong pretended to be happy: "That's really good, it's really not easy to be young." It's just that he is not an official now? Yizhou is nearly thousands of miles away from us, how can we come here to congratulate? Lin Yuzhen whispered with some embarrassment: "It's not him, it's his mother and sister-in-law."
Age, it's not too light, twenty-seven or eighteen. He had been studying all the time in his early years and had never married, so he was delayed. There is only one widow and brother and sister-in-law in the family, and the family is not bad, and livelihood is never a problem. ”
At this time, there are many children of many families, and there are many people who have delayed their family affairs for the sake of the future. Lin Jinrong followed Lin Yu,
Jane meant: "If people are diligent and have good character, that's not bad." It's just a little older, and it's a little farther away. "It's not too big, it's far away to know how to hurt people, but it's hard to guarantee that you marry someone close to home, and it may not be close to you in the future, maybe you can go further" Lin Yuzhen kept making excuses, as soon as she thought of Lu Jianxin's letter, Old Lady Lu's warning was irritable, and she threw the orange petal in her hand into the crystal plate in distress: "I think it's not bad, after all, Ah Yun's age is really not young, but she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to listen to me, she just says that this person is so old, there must be a concubine by his side." What kind of thing do I mean concubine? But the existence of chickens and dogs, if you don't like it, you sell it, but she can't listen to it. She doesn't have a sister, so go and persuade her for me. "Persuade people who are unwilling to marry, and whose eyes are above the top, to marry, there is no more difficult errand than this, Lin Jinrong secretly complained, but he couldn't shirk it, so he had to say: "I have never mentioned this matter with Ah Yun before, and I don't know if she is willing to listen to me." "This person is nearly ten years older than Lu Yun, and he is not a famous talent, and this person is only a magistrate of a middle and lower county, and he doesn't know what his appearance and character are, compared to Wu Xiang, it is really far behind. Lin Yuzhen accepted the reality, but Lu Yun didn't, it can also be said that Lu Yun understood the reality, but he didn't want to admit it, let alone accept it. What can I do if I can call Lin Jinrong?
Lin Yuzhen is really a head and two big, and she is also in a hurry to go to the doctor: "You just go and try."
I knew I shouldn't have told her. It's a good thing now, she won't even go to your seventh sister's wedding banquet. "If people don't go, how can they look at each other? If you don't go, where will you find such a relatively good family affair in the future? If it drags on year after year, is it possible to really stay at home and raise it for a lifetime, and make jokes for a lifetime? Or, listen to Lu Jianxin or Mrs. Lu's arrangement? At that time, there was no reason for their mother and daughter, men always see things differently from women, who knows who they will match? Maybe it's not as good as this.
Lin Jinrong had no choice but to stand up: "Then I'll try it first."
"Don't worry, she just lost her temper with me, she won't see you when you go now, and you won't listen to you when she sees it, you wait until she is in a better mood in the evening to persuade her." Lin Yuzhen took a sip of tea lightly and motioned for Lin Jinrong to sit down: "I heard it, your sister-in-law is pregnant again." The old lady plans to marry Lu Jing next fall. ”
Lin Jinrong hung his head and played with the scarlet jade ring belt around his waist without saying a word.
Lin Yuzhen frowned and said, "What's the matter with you?" It's not that he doesn't want to go home often, I think he treats you well, you young couples ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't go on anymore, and said: "Isn't the old gentleman who treated your mother very good?" I see that you should go back this time, and it is better to talk to your mother and ask him to come and show you!" Otherwise, it will drag on for a few more days, and when Lu Jing's daughter-in-law enters the door, I will see what you do! ”
Lin Jinrong said in a low voice: "Yes." Lin Yuzhen saw her lowered her eyebrows, and thought that it was really rare for her to be so obedient, so she said again: "I think the eldest couple deliberately picked on these two days!" I heard that your second aunt lives in the countryside, eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, makes good connections, and has a good reputation. Now, someone is going to talk to your grandmother. "Approaching the winter solstice, to worship ancestors, to send festivals to each other, to celebrate the winter, to keep the winter, the family is the busiest time, it just so happened that the Lu family broke out at this time that she was pregnant to raise a fetus, isn't that just to create an opportunity for the Song family to come back?
