Lin Yuzhen watched coldly, feeling extremely relieved, and had to pretend to say: "Ah Rong, come over and salute your second aunt and eldest sister-in-law to thank you." If it weren't for their help today, you would be busy. Lu's face suddenly looked ugly, and he couldn't swallow a little while holding the bowl, and Song's smile was still bright: "What do you say, what do you thank?" How can it help? It's all a family, for the sake of their own family affairs, what's polite? Lin Jinrong hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I'll add food and vegetables to the second aunt and sister-in-law." If she responds to Lin Yuzhen's arrangement to thank the Song family and the Lu family, it is equivalent to being straightforward and stupidly facing the second room, and Mrs. Lu will definitely not like it: but if she doesn't thank her, she doesn't say anything about it, and it really shouldn't be, in the eyes of outsiders, she doesn't know what to do, and she doesn't know the rules and proportions.

It is better to say nothing and show it in action.

The old house was always much quieter than the new house in Pingzhou City, and there was hardly any sound at night except for the sound of rats fighting on the beams.

On the fourth watch, Lin Jinrong opened his eyes, gently straightened his scattered hair to the side, and listened to the movement with his ears sideways. Lu Lu beside her slept soundly, and her breathing was so light and shallow that she could barely hear it. It was so quiet everywhere that it made her feel as if even her eardrums were covered with a layer, hazy and unrefreshing.

She didn't like this feeling, she couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up, stepped over Lu Mian lightly, put on her robe, pushed open the door and walked out.

On the night of March, there was still a hint of cold breath, and it was a little prickly when inhaled into the lungs. There is no moon in the sky, and it is full of stars. I don't know when the lights under the corridor went out, and the starlight became more and more cold. A cat quickly ran over the wall, stopped not far from Lin Jinrong, stared at her quietly with its head sideways, and the cat's eyes shone faintly in the starlight.

Lin Jinrong stood still against the pillar and looked at the cat in silence. The old house usually does not live in people, but there is a lot of food hidden, and the most are mice, so there are many cats. These cats are haunted and always appear in unexpected places, and one of the reasons she didn't like this place at that time was these cats and mice.

She has never been very bold, and is often frightened by these cats and mice. She always felt that there were many dead people in this old mansion over the years, and there might be something else besides cats and mice that suddenly appeared. So in the year when Ning'er was born, she came here, and after being frightened a few times, as soon as it got dark, she hugged Ning'er and sat in the house, refusing to go out again. Lu Lu knew that she was afraid, so he always pushed Lu Shao and Lu Jing's invitation, and sat aside to accompany her and Ning Er while reading.

The second time she came, she and he lived in separate rooms.

She basically couldn't see him, he was either there with Lu Shao, or at Lu Lun's, or he was hiding alone in a certain place in this old mansion. And at that time, she was no longer afraid of these elusive cats and mice, and every time she heard something unusual, she couldn't help but think, if there were really ghosts and gods, it would be better to take her away, and it would be a hundred. Or, Ning'er can enter her dreams,

She can hug him and express her apologies and sadness to him. But she thought that her little Ning'er should not stay in this world, she should go to a better womb and grow up smoothly.

Lin Jinrong gently pressed the corners of his eyes that were a little wet. She glared at the cat almost viciously, she was a person who had died once, she was in awe of the gods and Buddhas, but she was really not afraid of them anymore.

As if sensing her hostility, the cat turned its head and walked away quietly. Lin Jinrong bit his lip and squatted down, wanting to cry, but he couldn't. She slowly stood up against the pillar, looking up at the brightest star in the sky, until her eyes were sour.

"Ah Rong?" Lu Lu stood at the door, never wearing a coat, frowned slightly, and looked at her with some reproach, "What are you doing?" Lin Jinrong looked back at him and smiled lightly: "I'm looking at the cat." ”

Lu Lu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, walked over to her quickly, held her shoulder and blamed: "What cat do you see in the middle of the night?" He lowered his head and pressed his face to her cheek: "How can you get good if you get frostbite?" ”

His cheeks were hot, and there was still the warmth of just getting up in his arms, Lin Jinrong stood still leaning on him, and said in a low voice: "Do you say that there are gods and ghosts in this world?" ，…

Lu Mian's body stiffened, and then he said in a low voice: "Ah Rong, Zi is silent and strange gods." But I think we should have respect for gods and ghosts, and not blasphemy. "He didn't believe in the Tao, he didn't believe in Buddhism.

Lin Jinrong was extremely low, but he said very firmly: "Yes." ”

Lu Lu was silent for a moment, and pushed her in: "Okay, don't talk about this, go into the house first, your face and hands are ice." ”

The door where the girls lived knocked softly, and Lin Jinrong guessed that it was Lychee who heard the movement and got up to see, so he quietly followed Lu Lu into the house.

Lu Lu fumbled to light the lamp, took his coat on the hanger and put it on, walked to Lin Jinrong and sat down, and looked at her inquiringly: "Ah Rong, you don't sleep well at night?" Lin Jinrong felt a little tired at this time, and said in a low voice: "I heard rats fighting on the sorghum, it's too dark and cold in this house." ”

Lu Lu smiled a little affectionately: "So you just ran outside to see the cat?" Why don't you call me when you hear rats fighting? Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "Look at you sleeping sweetly." Lu Lu looked at her for a long time, took her hand and held it in his palm: "Ah Rong, you don't like it here, do you?" ”

Lin Jinrong hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I don't like this house." ”

"This house is a little too old, it's also very narrow, it's a little dark, and it's a lot of inconvenient, but..."Lu Lu smiled, "There's a very nice place near here, I can take you to go boating and play." "When the rest of the Lu family is gone, and only the two of them are left, it will be their world.

Lin Jinrong was crooked. Keep your eyes open and wait for the dawn. In this family, it is Mrs. Lu who has the final say, and Lu Mian has actually made up her mind to stay here, and she doesn't really want to ask for her opinion.

Lu Lu pushed her, motioned for her to let in, squeezed and lay down beside her, and pulled up the thin quilt to cover the two of them: "It's still early, there is still more than an hour to reach the fifth watch, why don't you go in and sleep for a while, if you don't want to sleep, let's play chess?" Lin Jinrong smiled faintly: "Forget it, in short, I lost." "If you win him, he doesn't follow, you have to keep playing, let alone if you lose.

Lu Lu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then let's talk?" Ah Rong, when did you first see me? Do you remember? After all, he has always been concerned about why Lin Jinrong hated him so much in the first place, and wanted to explore the root cause.

Lin Jinrong closed his eyes and said, "I can't remember clearly, maybe it was a long, long time ago?" Lu Lu smiled and said, "How long can it last?" You're only seventeen. ”

Lin Jinrong raised his hand to cover his eyes: "I'm sleepy." Lu Mian stopped talking, leaned over and took a book from the bookcase next to him, and looked at it by the light. It wasn't until the door rang outside and Lychee got up that Lin Jinrong woke up.

Old lady Lu had already instructed that a banquet should be held in the old mansion on this day to entertain the clansmen. Therefore, there were a lot of people who came on this day, but at the end of the day, many old and young people entered the Lu family's old house, and ate breakfast in the outer courtyard and the inner house according to men and women.

Although they had started preparing many days in advance, the Song and Lu clans were still very busy.

The other ladies in the family can't count on it, Lin Yuzhen doesn't care about the family, and naturally doesn't care about anything, she only accompanies the old lady Lu and the old ladies of the family to tell jokes affectionately, showing off as a façade: Lu Yun is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet and has not decided to marry, Lin Yuzhen is reluctant to let her go with the crime, but she also dressed up beautifully and stayed by Mrs. Lu's side, enjoying the praise and scrutiny of her relatives, and preparing for the kiss: Tu is a sick seedling, and he has not seen Lu Yi for many days, so it is easy to have this opportunity, At this time, I wanted to lean closer to Lu Yi more and say something to ask for warmth.

As for Lin Jinrong, she is a bride who is not yet a month old, and this time she went back to the old mansion just for her, who dares to ask her to do things? Naturally, he also stayed in front of Mrs. Lu and was ceremoniously introduced to the ladies of the clan by Mrs. Lu. Therefore, everyone in the family is enjoying happiness, and only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the second room are busy inside and out.

Many of the people on this side of the old house are old servants, born to children, and they are intertwined with each other, which is far more difficult to clean up than in the new house, not to mention that there are many people from poor families. Therefore, it was too difficult for the Song family to hold it, and their voices were hoarse, and the capable servants who brought it jumped over their feet before they could be considered to have completed the morning feast.

When the nose is about to disperse, the Song family and the Lu family have a chance to sit down and eat, and they have to eat quickly, because the carriage to go to the tomb has been set up and will leave soon.

Lin Yuzhen watched coldly, feeling extremely relieved, and had to pretend to say: "Ah Rong, come over and salute your second aunt and eldest sister-in-law to thank you." If it weren't for their help today, you would be busy. Lu's face suddenly looked ugly, and he couldn't swallow a little while holding the bowl, and Song's smile was still bright: "What do you say, what do you thank?" How can it help? It's all a family, for the sake of their own family affairs, what's polite? Lin Jinrong hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I'll add food and vegetables to the second aunt and sister-in-law." If she responds to Lin Yuzhen's arrangement to thank the Song family and the Lu family, it is equivalent to being straightforward and stupidly facing the second room, and Mrs. Lu will definitely not like it: but if she doesn't thank her, she doesn't say anything about it, and it really shouldn't be, in the eyes of outsiders, she doesn't know what to do, and she doesn't know the rules and proportions. It is better to say nothing and show it in action.

The Song family naturally spared no effort to praise Lin Jinrong: "The second nephew and daughter-in-law are really sensible, gentle and polite, and their talents and behaviors are one in a hundred." An enjoyed Lin Jinrong's rice and cloth vegetables peacefully.

Lin Yuzhen pursed the corners of her lips disdainfully, Lu Yun lowered her eyes and gently flicked the fan spike a few times.

Old Lady Lu watched Lin Jinrong's actions on the side, relieved herself with great satisfaction, turned her head and continued to gossip with several old ladies of the same age and generation around her.

This little episode did not affect Lin Yuzhen's mood, as soon as the news of departure came outside, she happily led Lin Jinrong out, and took advantage of the gap between boarding the car to introduce Lin Jinrong to a few prominent clansmen in the clan. Mrs. Lu didn't rush either, and let her finish walking Lin Jinrong in front of everyone before she ordered to board the car and set off.
