Chapter 143: Warm Colors
Lin Jinrong was particularly impressed by the year she was sixteen years old, not only because she married into the Lu family in that year, but also because several things happened that year.
The first is that Lu Lu didn't go to the exam that year. He was going to go before, but it was this Mr. Zhu Mengcao, who was hidden in the countryside, who suggested that he study for a few more years before going to the exam, and maybe he would get better results, after all, Lu Mian was only nineteen years old at that time, and his life had just begun. At his age, countless people are still studying hard in the academy, and many people have never passed the government exam, and it is more certain to study for a few more years before taking the exam. This is a more conservative and pertinent suggestion, Mrs. Lu after careful consideration, supported Mr. Zhu's suggestion, so Lu Lu married at home, gave birth to children, studied, and lost children, until she was nineteen years old, he did not go to the exam.
Another thing is Wu Xiang, who went to the exam in a high-profile manner. This Pingzhou prodigy, Xie Yuan of Taiming Mansion,
went to the exam in a high-profile manner under the eager eyes of countless people, but returned home. It's not that he didn't pass the exam, it's that he didn't get into the exam room at all. It is rumored that he offended the son of a powerful person in Beijing, she is not very clear about the specific situation, but in short, he caused trouble, the eldest master of the Wu family and Wu Fang rushed to the capital, and stayed in Beijing for nearly two months before bringing him back. However, he still passed the exam later, and he did well in the exam and stayed in Beijing. As for how he lived in Beijing after that, she didn't know, only that he had never married until she died.
Next year is the year of admonition, she should remind Wu Xiang to be cautious when he enters Beijing for the exam, and not to cause trouble? But she didn't know exactly what happened back then.
Should I be reminded or not, and how should I be reminded? These are all questions. Jing Jinrong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There was a sound of footsteps and laughter outside, and Miao Ya rushed in and said, "Old lady, they're back, madam, are you going to serve the food immediately?" ”
Dow smiled, "Serve, serve." Same as at noon, the gentlemen's table is still placed here, and the ladies are placed in the East Cross Courtyard, don't get confused, your hands and feet are sharp, and you have to go back after eating. ”
Everyone was suddenly in a hurry, "Lin Jinrong avoided it, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and happened to meet Lu Mian leading Lin Shen in. Lin Shenzhi took a yellow thorny wild huā in his hand, shaped like a plum branch, huā yellow in color, but lined with a bunch of fine jasper, young leaves, the color is extremely bright, as soon as he saw her, he greeted her: "Fourth sister, this is for you." I gave you, take it back and insert the bottle to look good. ”
"Congratulations, study hard in the future, don't make trouble for Mr." Lin Jinrong took it and said with a smile: "You didn't pick it, did you?" She had seen this kind of wild huā, which grew on a relatively high cliff, and with Lin Shenzhi's age and skill, "it was impossible for him to pick it, most of it was the hands of domestic servants."
Lin Shenzhi glanced at her, then at Lu Xuan, and said with a smile: "I asked Second Brother Lu for help, he grew on the cliff, doesn't it match your clothes today?" You must bring it back and insert the bottle, and don't let me down. There was still a hint of urgency in his expression.
Although he is young, he understands things, and he knows how to make fun of his sister. Lychee didn't hold back,
couldn't help curling the corners of his lips and glanced at Lin Shenzhi approvingly.
Lin Jinrong was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Mian, but saw that Lu Mian also looked at her, and the two looked at each other, both stunned. Lin Jinrong gently led him, staggered his gaze, and touched Lin Shenzhi's head: "Go wash your hands and eat, don't get carried away" Don't make trouble with the second brother Lu. ”
Then he handed the splendid wild huā in his hand to Lychee, turned around and walked towards the west courtyard.
Lu Lu raised her eyes to look, but saw that the spring huā embroidered on her ivory skirt swayed rhythmically with her steps, as if the spring breeze was waving to welcome the spring huā, fresh and vivid, fresh and moving. He withdrew his gaze and led Lin Shenzhi to the house.
When Tao saw the two of them, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and he asked for warmth in a panic, and thanked Lu Lu again: "Thank you, I want you to help take care of your little seventh brother in the future." ”
Lu Mian likes Tao's simple temperament, and he has always been infected by her cheerful emotions, and he can't help but smile and say, "Uncle is polite, taking care of the seventh brother is what I should do." ”
A son-in-law is half a son, this really said to Tao's heart, and he couldn't help but burst into a big smile: "I made your favorite crispy peach huā fish, I specially instructed the Tiehuai family to leave a lot for you, and remember to let Changshou go to the kitchen to get it and take it to the academy to eat." It's the time to grow your body, don't stay up late at night. Studying is important, but your own body is also important. ”
A hint of warmth flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes, and he got up to salute and thank him, but Tao Shi hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt should also take care of their nephew." The two looked at each other and smiled, a little more tacit understanding. Tao endured it, and finally couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "Your fourth sister has a bit of a strange temper recently, and the girls of this age are a little weird, and they love to be shy, if she is rude, don't worry about her, tell me, I will teach her a lesson." ”
Lu Lu was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "She's fine." ”
Lin Shenzhi stood up and whispered in Tao's ear: ...... The fourth sister said hello to Second Brother Lu just now, and asked me not to make trouble with Second Brother Lu. Although she just nodded, she also accepted the huā, didn't she?
, "Ghost Witty." Tao pinched his little face lovingly, and turned back to exchange glances with Gong's mother. After a long time, it will always get better.
As the sun set, the distant mountains contained glow, Lu Mian and Zhou Mai stood on the side of the road, watching the Lin family leave.
After the last carriage drove out of sight, the two of them got on horseback and walked slowly along the Qingliang River towards Mr. Zhu's house.
The evening breeze warmed with the fresh breath of the river, the white pear huā and pink huā petals rolled with the clear river water into the distance, a group of half-grown children stood in the shallow water to catch nets, from time to time let out a burst of cheerful laughter, the setting sun illuminated their smiling faces and hair in a golden red.
Zhou Mai said happily: "It's so lively. This is the peach huā fish, right? ”
Lu Lu couldn't help but think of Lin Jinrong, who was squatting on the stones in the river in the depths of Qingliang Mountain, smiling wantonly, and thinking of Lin Jinrong's unfamiliar and cold appearance today, and a burst of light sorrow came to his heart.
Suddenly, I saw several women walking over with wooden basin clothes, and said as they walked: "Have you heard, the new woman surnamed He from Qingliang Temple is now lucky, and the third wife of the Lin family is willing to pay her thirty yuan for her makeup." ”
"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, your kid didn't say kiss anyway, why don't you marry and go home? It's all it takes. Maybe you don't even want a job. ”
Zhou Mai heard it clearly, and when the women passed, he smiled and said, "Mrs. Lin San loves to do good deeds. It's no wonder that he will raise a quiet temperament like the fourth sister. ”
Demure? Lu Mian couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Whether she's really demure or fake demure,
In short, she left without bad character, so be whatever she wants.
When he arrived at Mr. Dezhu's house, Lu Mian instructed Changshou: "Send this crispy peach huā fish to the kitchen, and say that the third wife specially instructed Tie Mama to give Mr. wine in order to thank him." It's not a respect, it's just a little heart. ”
Longevity should be answered, and 1 Bu ran to send it. After a while, he came back and said, "I just met Mr., and Mr. asked the young master to go over." ”
Lu Lu hurriedly straightened his clothes, walked along the tiled path, walked around a forest of apricots, walked to a thatched house, and knocked lightly: "Sir." "Come in." Mr. Zhu, who was over half a hundred years old, wore a homely half-worn robe, sat under the lamp, and was holding a carving knife and squinting at the seal in his hand.
Seeing Lu Lu enter, he casually pointed to the yellowed bamboo chair in front of him, "Sit down." ”
Lu Lu sat cautiously on half of his buttocks, leaning forward slightly, ready to listen to his teachings at any time.
Mr. Zhu stopped, looked up at his cautious but hard-working student, and smiled kindly: "Xiao Qilang of the Lin family, not only your cousin, but also your future brother-in-law, right?" I see that you treat him very well. I thought he was young and wanted his family to send him back in two years, but for your sake, I set this precedent. ”
Everyone knows about this family business, but Mr. Zhu is mentioning it for the first time. Combined with his behavior during the day, Lu Mian's face suddenly turned red, and he stood up and said, "Student"
Mr. Zhu waved his hand at him, "Sit, don't be restrained." It's a good family business. The third wife and the fourth girl of the Lin family have a good name in this area, and I just heard from the people below that the third Mrs. Lin helped the woman surnamed He in Qingliang Temple, which is the home of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Not bad. ”
Lu Mian listened to him say two good things in a row, and gradually relaxed: "The student will definitely urge Shen Zhi to study hard, and he will live up to his hard work." "I always have a point of view when it comes to reading. Those who can read are not necessarily able to read, and those who can read are not necessarily blessed. You can't force it. Teaching these children to read and write was originally just hoping that they would know honor and disgrace and learn how to be human beings. Mr. Zhu smiled, "I came to you to talk to you about the imperial examination." What are your plans? Will you take the exam next year? ”
When Lu Mian heard what he said, he seemed to have something in his words, thought for a moment, got up and said, "I don't know what Mr. means?" ”
Mr. Zhu said, "I suggest that you take the exam next time." Of course, it's not that you won't be able to win this time, but I don't think it's nine out of ten, and it's very likely that you will win, but it's not satisfactory. If you work hard for a few more years, you will definitely be able to enter the second grade. You're young, you're just at the beginning of your life,
Sharpening your temperament a little more is only good for you. Think for yourself, and consult with your grandfather,
Come and tell me if you've figured it out. If you don't go, you won't have to write articles with Zhou Mai in the future, I'll find another book for you to see. ”
Lu Mu bowed deeply and retreated gently. When I returned to the room, I remembered my gambling contract with Wu Xiang, and couldn't help frowning. He knew that his talent was not as good as Wu Xiang, and he relied on hard work, and Wu Xiang would inevitably go to this exam, should he reluctantly respond to the battle, or slow down?
