Chapter 144: Preparation
In the afternoon, the wind blew through the courtyard, and the old elm tree made a pleasant rustling sound, which woke up Lin Jinrong, who was sitting in the window and meditating. Not far away, her eyes fell on a verdant bile bottle on a wooden shelf of huΔ, and in the bile bottle was the thorny yellow wild huΔ brought back from the countryside.
Five days have passed, and it is still in its fullest form, blooming splendidly. The huΔ blossoms at the lower end were carefully pruned by the lychees, and the huΔ bones at the tips couldn't wait to bloom, and the green leaves became more and more brilliant and moist, lining the spring light in half of the room. Even if Lin Jinrong felt that it was piercing his eyes, he had to admit that this huΔer was really good-looking, and it was more durable than those peach huΔ and plum huΔ.
Lychee and Mama Gui sat quietly under the curtain doing Lin Jinrong's dowry, looking up at her from time to time. Seeing her looking at the branch in a daze, the two of them tacitly exchanged glances and continued to work. The girls of other families embroider the dowry happily, that is, Lin Wu, and now they have also accepted the temperament, and hide in the room all day long to embroider the dowry, only they are the masters, and the most favorite is to count the money and read the account book, no matter how bad it is, it is to read miscellaneous books, write, divide tea and blow Xun. Even if you suddenly have itchy hands and want to do needlework, you can do it for Tao and Lin Shenzhi, Lin Jinyin,
Shoes and socks of Wu and others.
If they don't do it, what can they do? It's not just for her. After all, when she entered the door, so many relatives, all of them had to give some handkerchiefs and sachets, and they had to embroider them well, so as to save people from laughing at her female popularity. As Mama Gui was doing, she suddenly remembered the little trouble she had added recently, and she couldn't hold back for a while, and bit her ear with Lychee: "Have you noticed, the girl's feet seem to have grown." β
Lychee's little heart suddenly jumped wildly, and then it was a little funny, it had been more than two years, and she found out, I don't know if she and the girl covered it up too well every day, or is Mama Gui now old, and her mind is on Longan Yuan, who is caught by Mother Gong every day? muttered in his heart, and pretended to be surprised: "What do you say? β
Mama Gui looked at Lychee suspiciously: "You didn't notice? I hadn't put away the girl's shoes for a long time, and when I went to collect them that day, I suddenly found that there were so many more shoes than she had ever wore. In the past few days, she has also been secretly looking at Lin Jinrong's feet, and they are really big.
Lychee gently pressed down Mama Gui's gesture and whispered, "I'm waiting for the girl day and night" I really didn't find it. Mama, are you mistaken? β
Mama Gui made a straight face: "No, the girl was brought up by me, how can I forget?" It's because you've been serving the girl with Cherry lately, that's why I asked you. I remember that the shoes that the girl wore earlier were stored in the ear room, waiting for me to rummage through them......"
Lychee said with a smile, "And then?" β
Mama Gui didn't understand: "Huh? β
Lychee put down the embroidery in her hand and said seriously: "Even if the girl's shoes are bigger than before, what can Mama do?" Go talk to your wife? Well? And what about the wife? The girl was fifteen years old. β
Mama Gui thought for a while, lowered her head and continued to work, but embroidered one more of the butterfly's tentacles. Raise your head again" and her eyes will be red: "The girl is big,
After a moment of silence, he scolded Lychee: "You are confused, how can you indulge the girl in nonsense!" This is a big deal, how can it be known in the future? No, I'm going to talk to my wife. β
Lychee glanced at Lin Jinrong in the pawn, lowered her eyes and said with a blank look: "If Mama wants to say it, just say it, while it's still early, I can take you off clean."
I've carried them all. β
Mama Gui was embarrassed for a while, and really burst into tears: "Am I that kind of person?" I'm for the girl's good, and I entered the door of the Lu family in the future and was known, what should I do? β
Lychee asked, "I'll just ask my grandmother, what can I do now with my wife?" Make a fuss, stuff the girl's grown feet back again? β
Mama Gui is not good at talking, and she is speechless for a while. But in her consciousness, this is not right" is deviant, but she can't find a reason to refute Lychee. But if she really ran to talk to Tao about it, she really didn't dare.
Suddenly, the curtain moved, Lin Jinrong wiped her and the two walked out, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about the future affairs for me, you just do what I want, and I'll take care of the rest." Now, Lychee packed up her things and went with me to his wife's room. β
Lychee silently let go of the work in her hand and waited for Lin Jinrong to go out. Mama Gui looked outside and persuaded, "Girl, the sun is poisonous at this time, and Mrs. is afraid that she is also taking a nap, why don't you go over later?" β
Lin Jinrong shook his head: "I suddenly remembered something, I have to talk to my wife here." "At this point today, the people sent by the Tao family to report the good news rushed to the Lin family. A few days ago, she had sent a letter to Lin Shiquan, asking him to come back recently, if she expected it to be true, this time Lin Shiquan would come with the person who reported the good news. At this point, people are happy, and it is the most convenient time to talk to Lin Shiquan.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Mama Gui simply gave up her heart and continued to sit back and do needlework.
Out of the yard, Lychee whispered, "Girl, Mama Gui knows."
Lin Jinrong said: "I heard it. You're doing a great job, that's what you want. Then practice the words well, learn to read the account book, and I will rest assured that I will leave things to you in the future. β
Her tone was very cautious, and Lychee could hear it, so she couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that the girl plans to let the slave maid be a female account room in the future?" β
Lin Jinrong glanced at her with a smile: "How is the female master?" Give you money, give you back people, and give you an order, even a big man will listen to you. β
Lychee stammered, blushed and said, "The girl made fun of the slave again." β
Lin Jinrong said, "Who is joking with you?" Could it be that if you read those letters, you don't understand anything? That's not just teaching you how to read. β
Lychee was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, and looked at Lin Jinrong inquiringly. Since Lin Shiquan went to Cheongju and came back from that long trip, he would write to Lin Jinrong from time to time, usually describing a business in detail, who he was doing it with, how to do it, and sometimes he would write some of his own feelings about interacting with people. Every time Lin Jinrong read the letter, he would hand it to her again and let her read it again. Pick some questions to ask her, she can't answer, and Lin Jinrong won't force her, just take the letter and sit in front of the window to think about it repeatedly, often sitting for a long time.
Lin Jinrong said in a low voice: "Lychee, maybe there will be more such letters in the future, I plan to give the money in my hand to the third brother and let him learn to do some business by himself." He would write to me often, maybe to discuss with me, maybe to ask my opinion, you have to learn to read letters, learn to deal with some things, in order to help me. β
Lychee's mouth opened a little wider: "Girl, although the slave maid is always in the inner courtyard, I have also heard Mother Gong mention some things about the old uncle's house. Others learn to do business from the beginning of apprenticeship, often do it for seven or eight years, more than ten years before they dare to come out to do business alone, now the young master is just with the uncle for more than a year, you can rest assured? What if you lose it? β
Lin Jinrong frowned: "At first, it won't be too big, just let him practice his hands." As long as Lin Shiquan is really consistent with what he showed, he will not lose, she still has this point, not to mention, she really can't afford to wait.
Although Lychee felt happy to be trusted and relied on, she still had countless worries: "What should I do with my uncle?" β
Lin Jinrong smiled: "This is what I want to discuss with my wife today, let's open a shop by ourselves, we can't always take advantage of my uncle and young master, right?" No matter how good the relatives are, in the end, there are two surnames, the third girl also needs a backbone in her in-law's family, and the seventh young master is about to officially apprentice to study, can't people say that our family has always relied on my sister's in-law's family? β
Seeing her like this, Q had planned it, and Lychee had nothing to say, all she could do was to do her best to do it according to her instructions.
Shao leaned, the two of them arrived outside Tao's courtyard, and happened to bump into the mother-in-law who came from outside the second door to report the good news: "The Tao family sent someone to report the news, and the mother and son of the three girls are safe!" β
When Dow heard the sound, he hurriedly waited for Chunya and Xia Ye to dress, and the smile on his face couldn't stop: "Let people in!" Go and tell the old lady and the old man good news. Then he commanded, "Give the reward that I had prepared earlier!" For a while, the house was full of congratulations and joy, so it was not lively.
Lin Jinrong looked at it with a smile, feeling that it felt really good. The good news came that year, although Tao ordered someone to reward money, it was far less generous.
It was Wu's mother Song who reported the news, and Lin Jinyin's companion Yang's mother, and the two laughed and talked to Tao about the situation at the time: "It went well! The little young master's net weight is six catties and eight taels, white and clean, and his wife is so well-behaved that he can't drink the medicine before, and as soon as he heard that the mother and son are safe, he ate half a bowl of porridge! The spirit looks much better, and it is stable these days. The eldest grandmother was also in good health, and when she woke up, she drank two bowls of chicken soup, ate a chicken leg, and shouted that she was hungry. β
"It's good to be able to eat, it's good to be able to eat!" Tao smiled into a huΔ, "Tell her to be careful, don't eat it into a big fat man, she can't take it back." β
When Mother Gong led the two down to rest and eat, Mother Yang was a few steps behind and asked Tao's meaning: "Young Master Quan is also here this time, and he is waiting outside the second gate at this time, will Mrs. see me?" β
Tao said, "I will definitely see you, but I will go to the old lady's room to report the good news now, let him go to see Liu'er first, if you have anything to say, I will talk about it in detail later." β
Lin Jinrong said, "Mother, I'll greet the third brother." Dow didn't care: "Hugh is going to be lazy." Then he hurried to the Hele Hall,
All the way, the clothes are full of wind, smiling, and they will be rewarded when they meet people.
Lin Jinrong silently recalled what he was about to say to Lin Shiquan, confirmed that there were no loopholes, and walked towards Liu'er's small courtyard with his head held high.
