Chapter 74: Return
Lin Jinrong waved the tea whisk and stirred the tea seriously, and his eyebrows and eyes gradually disappeared in the curling steam. Back then, she wanted to go to Cheongju very much, and she wanted to get out of that suffocating home like crazy, but she didn't dare to make this request at all, because she thought that with Tao's embarrassing situation in the Lin family, even if she made a request, it would only be to embarrass Tao Shunqin and give others a chance to refuse her and laugh at her.
But now, she doesn't think like this anymore, she doesn't dare to fight for her own affairs, who will take her to heart?
Lin Shiquan was covered in stinky sweat, tiredly stepped back to the room where he lived in the sunset, and casually took a bucket of well water and poured it down.
The cold well water made his skin and nerves shiver and tighten, and it also calmed his emotions a lot, and he stared at the droplets of water on his eyelashes and blew softly.
"Do you want to know where the third young master has gone?" The first thing Lin Jinrong did after getting up from a nap was to inquire about Lin Shiquan's whereabouts. Earlier, Lin Shiquan was sad in her heart, saying that she was going out for a walk, and she was not easy to follow.
"Went to the field." Lychee was full of admiration, "I thought I would run to hide and be sad, but I went to work in the field." Everyone asked him, but he didn't say anything. ”
Lin Jinrong held his chin and thought for a moment, then ordered Lychee and Longan to prepare the tea set, and went to the West Cross Courtyard to find Tao Shunqin.
Tao Shunqin was flipping through a book, and when he saw Lin Jinrong entering, he put down the book and said, "Who is this book?" ”
Lin Jinrong leaned over to take a look, but it was a copy of "Qi Min's Technique". Then he said, "It's probably my brother's." When I looked at it again, I saw a line of small characters written on the front of the page, the pen was familiar, and it was clearly Lu Xuan's words, so I couldn't help but sneer secretly and asked, "Where did my uncle find it?" ”
Tao Shunqin pointed to the couch: "Found it in the corner." Your brother writes very well. ”
"Uncle, I'll give you tea, okay?" Lin Jinrong had no intention of correcting this misunderstanding, got up and cleaned his hands to burn incense and boil water tea, and when Tang Hua conjured up a longevity word, he Yingying offered: "Uncle has a long life and is 100 years old." ”
This sycophant is really well shot. Tao Shunqin smiled and took the rabbit cup, smelled the tea and tasted the tea, and praised: "It's really good." You've got a bit of a skill. ”
"I'm blowing better than before, and I'm blowing it to you when I change it?" Lin Jinrong cheekily praised himself and turned to the topic: "Uncle, what are you going to do on your aunt's birthday this year?" ”
Tao Shunqin raised his eyebrows: "What do you have in mind?" ”
Lin Jinrong sat down next to him: "I embroidered a pillow screen, a hundred blessing characters, and planned to give it to my aunt as a birthday gift." What do you think? ”
"That's good. Did you write the word? Tao Shunqin could almost guess what she was going to say next, secretly amused in his heart, but a little relieved. It seems that it is really the right thing to let Tao come to the countryside Zhuangzi to recuperate, look at this child, much more lively.
"Of course I wrote it, although it's not so good, but every stitch is my heart." Lin Jinrong saw Tao Shunqin showing a satisfied look, and then said: "Let me go to Qingzhou this year to pay my aunt's birthday, okay?" I don't like to stay at home. ”
It's not an outrageous request, Tao Shunqin is already willing in his heart, and he deliberately hangs Lin Jinrong's appetite: "Your sister is going to have a happy event with your eldest cousin on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, and your mother is busy with things, I'm afraid I won't have time to take you there, right?" ”
Lin Jinrong had already calculated: "My sister's dowry has already been prepared." My mother talked to me a few days ago, saying that she wanted to celebrate my aunt's birthday and let my seventh brother recognize me. I haven't been there for years, so doesn't my uncle want to fulfill us? ”
Speaking of which, Tao Shunqin also accepted the heart of joking with her: "I like you to play, but it depends on whether your grandparents agree." ”
"My mother hasn't returned to the province for many years, and as long as it's not long, I don't expect to refuse." Lin Jinrong raised his head and looked at Tao Shunqin: "Uncle, do you know my brother Lin Shiquan?" He's smart, hard-working, and resilient, can you give him a boost? For example, when you go to buy saline-alkali land, let him go with you and learn how to negotiate and trade. Okay? ”
She had no choice, after talking with Tao Shunqin yesterday, she had a deeper understanding of the injustice of this world to women. Even Tao Shunqin thinks that she doesn't need to know too much, and she also thinks that giving her enough dowry is enough for her to be able to manage it well. The freedom and security they were able to give her, only within a limited range, and she had to find another way to get what she wanted.
She desperately needed someone to help her with her affairs outside, and this person had to be attached to her, but not a domestic servant, because there were occasions when a servant could not cope with it. She didn't have the opportunity to contact the capable stewards outside, and she couldn't control and control those people, she could only set her eyes on Lin Shiquan, she felt that although he was young and inexperienced, he could endure hardships, was practical and smart, and his character was also good. She didn't know if it was the right choice, but she had no other way to go, she had to give it a try.
"Okay, the young man looks pretty good." Tao Shunqin didn't realize what this meant to Lin Jinrong at all, and only thought that this was a manifestation of his niece's kindness, but he was naturally happy to be satisfied, and continued to look through the Qi Min technique: "Go and divide two cups of good tea for my uncle." Lin Shiquan's writing is really good......"
Lin Jinrong waved the tea whisk and stirred the tea seriously, and his eyebrows and eyes gradually disappeared in the curling steam. Back then, she wanted to go to Cheongju very much, and she wanted to get out of that suffocating home like crazy, but she didn't dare to make this request at all, because she thought that with Tao's embarrassing situation in the Lin family, even if she made a request, it would only be to embarrass Tao Shunqin and give others a chance to refuse her and laugh at her. But now, she doesn't think like this anymore, she doesn't dare to fight for her own affairs, who will take her to heart? Lin Shiquan was covered in stinky sweat, tiredly stepped back to the room where he lived in the sunset, and casually took a bucket of well water and poured it down. The cold well water made his skin and nerves shiver and tighten, and it also calmed his emotions a lot, and he stared at the droplets of water on his eyelashes and blew softly.
Shicai Lin Jinrong's words still echoed in his ears: "I need someone to do me a favor, I don't need him to be perfect, I just need him to do his duty." If one day he doesn't want to help me, I hope to get together and disperse. In return, he will definitely have no worries about food and clothing, but he has to rely on himself to be respected. But I think that as long as he can really have a clear conscience, being respected must be a matter of hand. Third brother, I wonder if you would like to give it a try? ”
Of course he was willing to give it a try. Although he was very skeptical about how this young clan sister could make him well-fed, he really had no other better opportunity - Lin Jinrong was right, he was not willing to guard the land for a lifetime, and he was not willing to be a steward for a lifetime. He wanted to be respected by the world, and he wanted to protect his children by his own strength, so that others would not step on their heads again, and he could do whatever he wanted.
The result of losing is that he is just going back to be a steward, and he will never starve to death. It's better to have a chance than not to have one. You know, the last thing people who have nothing is time.
"If you don't want to live like a dog, you have to bite like a wolf." Lin Shiquan stared at the blood-red sunset and smiled, Bai Sensen's teeth flashed red. In one day, he lost almost everything, but he also gained everything. Many years later, Lin Shiquan still feels overwhelmed when he thinks of this dramatic day.
Three days later.
Lin San and Lin Yiyi came early in the morning to pick up Tao and Lin Jinrong to return home, Lin Jinrong said goodbye to Miao Ya and others, and set foot on the road back to Pingzhou City. When passing through the saline land, she looked at it affectionately through the cracks in the curtain, and the feeling of touching the title deed was completely different from the feeling of actually seeing the land, and she was a little relieved and a little excited. She seemed to have seen the muddy yellow water of the heavenly river surging down the Liuye River, flooding the land, leaving behind the soil as fine as a fine surface, and on the soil grew verdant and luxuriant wheat, and when the wheat was ripe, everyone who passed by here would be dazzled by the golden yellow.
Lin Jinrong stroked his cheeks, which were slightly hot from joy, lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled.
Tao noticed his daughter's expression and said with a little excitement: "Nannan, aren't you happy that you are going home soon?" I'm glad too. Although it is quiet here, it is too lonely. "More than half a year of recuperation not only recuperated her body, but also regained her temperament. She was gearing up and couldn't wait to get back.
"Yes." Lin Jinrong easily saw through the light in Tao's eyes, but he didn't want to disturb her interest.
The carriage drove in through the side door of the Lin family and stopped until it reached the door of the hanging flowers. Lin Jinyin took Lin Shenzhi's hand, greeted him with a smile on his face, and opened the curtain of the car with his own hands: "Mother, fourth sister, how are you doing all the way?" The excitement and joy in his tone could not be concealed.
"Good, all right. Little Lao Qi has gained weight, do you miss your mother? Tao excitedly pinched Lin Shenzhi's white and pink cheeks, helped his eldest daughter's hand to get out of the car, glanced at Aunt Huang, who came to salute and be a low-pitched little girl, proudly raised his chin, and walked steadily in: "Nannan, follow up." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jinrong got out of the car after him and squinted slightly at the Lin Mansion. At noon, the fierce sunlight fell mottled on the eaves, walls, and ground through the hundred-year-old trees covering the Lin Mansion, and the wind blew, as if the whole house was shaking.
She pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Aunt Huang who was looking at her with blank eyes, and said softly, "Auntie, don't come to harm?" ”
Aunt Huang hurriedly stepped forward and said affectionately: "Fourth girl, you and your wife are finally back, and the slave's heart is really happy." ”
Joy? Rejoice in money, right? Lin Jinrong glanced at Tao Shi, who was dragging his head like a goose in front of him, and said with a smile: "Aunt misses me?" ”
Aunt Huang's eyes blinked, and she said crisply: "I really want to." I heard that my uncle is here, why don't you see him? ”
"Uncle and father are in the outer courtyard." Lin Jinrong stopped teasing her, and said simply: "I'm going to put things in place today, and I'm going to say hello to a few elders, I'm afraid I don't have any time." If my aunt is not in a hurry, she might as well come over tomorrow afternoon and we will settle the account. ”
"No hurry, no hurry." There was a faint sadness and regret between Aunt Huang's eyebrows: "I heard that the price of silver has risen sharply this spring......"
Lin Jinrong stood still and glanced at her coldly: "Yes, it has risen a lot, and my wife regrets it, but unfortunately I don't regret taking the medicine." Does my aunt regret it too? ”
Aunt Huang was just testing Lin Jinrong's tone, and when she saw her immediately turn her face, she quickly stopped and smiled: "No regrets, no regrets, thanks to the girl for giving the slave a chance, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even be able to earn this." ”
"You're welcome." Lin Jinrong walked leisurely to keep up with Tao.
