As the night grew darker, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and Ping Chau City gradually quieted down. I don't know if it's because there is suddenly an ocean outside the city, and the air is a little more humid out of thin air, as if it is going to rain, damp, cold and deserted.

At the end of Qingyang Street, a small shop is unusually clean, and the big red lanterns hanging high on bamboo poles are also particularly eye-catching. Lin Shiquan and Lu Lu stood under the lamp and talked quietly. They had just sent away Ma Zhuangtou and Ma Zhuangtou's two brothers and a nephew. Because Lu Mian showed full sincerity, Ma Zhuangtou also deliberately brought his helper to them, and several people talked happily with each other, just in the fragrance of wine and coriander, the major events of the next two years were given in a harmonious atmosphere, and they swore with high fives, and there was no remorse.

Lin Shiquan exhaled lightly and asked Lu Lu with a smile: "What's the matter, don't you worry?" ”

Lu Mian chuckled: "Are there any scriptures you read badly?" ”

Lin Shiquan also smiled: "No matter how well the scriptures are read, someone must listen to them." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying goodbye to each other.

Lu Lu got on the horse, gently knocked the horse's belly, the horse snorted, and took a steady step on the road. Changshou has followed him since he was a child, and knows him best, seeing that he seems to be in a good mood, he smiled and said: "Second master, what good things have you encountered today?" Can you tell the little ones to listen to it, and let the little ones follow along with the music and harmony? ”

Lu Lu looked ahead and curled the corners of his lips: "Isn't it just the matter of Ma Zhuangtou?" This is a big deal. ”

Changshou just laughed at him, Lu Mian was a little embarrassed by the laughter, gently raised the horsewhip and whipped Changshou, and scolded: "The smile is so ugly, the thief's eyebrows are rat-eyed." ”

Changshou cried out: "The second master is really, is it possible to laugh and no one is allowed to laugh?" ”

A bright light flashed in the sky, and a dull thunder blew from far and near a cool breeze, rolling up a thin layer of dust and covering people's faces. Lu Lu raised his eyes and looked at it, but saw that there was no starlight in the sky, it was dark and gloomy, and he hurriedly said: "Go faster, I'm afraid it's going to rain." The master and servant both whipped their horses' buttocks, and only after a few raindrops were more than ten feet away that they smashed their heads and faces.

Changshou had to complain: "No matter what you say this day, it will change." The two of them didn't bring rain gear, so Changshou thought about it, and then took off his clothes and gave them to Lu Mian.

Lu Lu poked him with the whip and said, "Don't take it off, it's ugly to take it off." Run! ”

So the two of them let go of the reins and let the horses rush forward, Rao is horse ran fast, but they couldn't outrun the rain, and when they rushed to the front of the Lu Mansion, the two of them had become chickens in the soup. When Menzi came to open the door and saw this situation, he couldn't help but be surprised: "How could the second master get drenched in the rain?" ”

Changshou said angrily: "It will rain in the sky, and of course the second master will rain if he doesn't bring rain gear." ”

That door was carefully selected by Fan Bao recently, with a little age, and he is also an old family, and he is also familiar with Changshou on weekdays, so he scolded when he heard the words: "You lazy rabbit cub, you don't bring rain gear when you go out, and the second master will get drenched in the rain, you still have something to say." ”

Changshou deliberately made him angry: "Uncle Erzhuo knew that it would rain, and he didn't remind us when he saw us going out." ”

Lu Mian didn't care about the two of them, took out a clean handkerchief and wiped their heads and faces, took the green cloth umbrella handed by the door, and whispered to Changshou: "Quickly lead the horse down, change your clothes, and ask Manager Fan to go to the Xue Pavilion in half an hour, I have something to ask him." ”

Longevity didn't dare to slack off, and walked quickly. Lu Lu held an umbrella in one hand and a lantern in the other, and walked towards his small courtyard in the rain, and saw from a distance that the courtyard door that had been tightly closed in the past was not closed today.

When Mrs. Zhang heard the voice, she saw that it was Lu Mian who was walking alone, so she hurriedly ran forward and took the lantern in his hand with one hand and the umbrella with the other, and said flatteringly: "Second master, are you finally back?" The second grandmother asked several times. Let the slave and maid wait for you here. ”

Lu Mian said "um" lightly, and silently entered the door, and Mrs. Zhang shouted inside: "The second master is back." ”

Lin Jinrong greeted Lu Lu in front of the door, and while listening to him talk about Ma Zhuangtou, he helped him take off his wet coat and said, "I prepared hot water for you, is it going to bubble to go to the cold at this time?" ”

Lu Xuan said: "I made an appointment with Fan Bao, and I'm going to listen to Xue Pavilion soon." Just rub it. With that, he turned behind the screen.

Lin Jinrong went to get clean clothes and shoes and socks, and just hung them on the hanger, he heard Lu Lu say: "Ah Rong, you come to help me wipe my back." ”

Lin Jinrong pursed his lips, walked behind the screen, and just after entering, his face turned sideways, and his face was red by the light: "What are you doing?" ”

Lu Lu calmly disobeyed the veil: "It's all soaked." ”

Lin Jingrong lowered his eyes and pointed to the bath: "It's wet, it's wet, and the water is ready-made, so it's better to sit in it and soak." Save yourself from getting cold again. ”

Lu Lu glanced at her twice, stepped into the bathtub and sat down: "Since it's all wet, it's better to wash your hair by the way." ”

Lin Jinrong said: "Didn't you let Manager Fan wait for you?" ”

Lu Lu said: "There is still half an hour." Make it. ”

Lin Jinrong didn't say anything more, took the bath beans, and quickly rinsed them for him. In the midst of the steam, Lu Mian suddenly whispered! "Ah Rong, you really don't want to go with me? ，…

"Huh?" Lin Jinrong grabbed a large piece of dry handkerchief and wiped his hair for him: "Where to go?" Lu Lu said: "Let's go to the Snow Pavilion together." You read the book in the back, and I talked to Steward Fan in the front, and then came back together, how can you read it? ，…

What he wanted to say to Fan Bao, she didn't have to think about it. But thinking that he was discussing with people in front of him to deal with people, but he was hiding behind and listening to them, how could he be a little dark villain, and he felt like his own man standing up for himself. Lin Jinrong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not good to let Manager Fan know." ”

Lu Lu smiled and said, "What's wrong?" He is a trustworthy man and extremely capable in his own right, and it will only be good for you if you can have more contact with him. "That's the old man's person, as long as the old man lives for a day, his status will be immovable, and it is not something that Lu Jianzhong or the Song family and others can control. If he can get each other, Lin Jinrong will get twice the result with half the effort in the backyard.

But Lin Jinrong knew that he was such a capable and loyal servant, and only a hundred days after Mrs. Lu's death, he was forced to faint in front of Mrs. Lu's spirit. Although he did not die, in the end, he was forced to leave the country after only fifty taels of silver. The patriarchs of the Three Dynasties are legends,

It's more of a son of heaven and a courtier.

Lu Lu neatly put on his shoes and tightened his belt: "Let's go."

Lychee hurriedly raised the big umbrella, and Gui Yuan held the lamp, and sent the two of them to listen to the Snow Pavilion. Lu Lu walked unhurriedly, looking left and right: "Watching the rain at night is actually not bad." ”

Lin Jinrong said: "Looking at the scenery and rain, it's just a matter of mood. ”

Lu Lu was silent for a moment, and then smiled lowly: "Ah Rong is right when he says this. So how do you feel when you look at this rain scene at the moment? ”

Lin Jinrong said: "Not bad. Lu Lu quietly shook her hand and said no more.

After a while, when he arrived at the Snow Pavilion, Fan Bao had already come, and when he saw Lin Jinrong also accompanying him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then stepped forward with a smile to greet him. Lu Lu said, "Ah Rong, you go and pour tea for the chief steward." "It is the duty of the master and servant to receive the praise of Fan, Lin Jinrong poured tea for him with his own hands, but it was particularly decent. Fan Bao pretended to excuse himself, and saw that Lu Lu was not hypocritical, and Lin Jinrong was not perfunctory, so he also accepted it peacefully.

Lin Jinrong waited for the two of them to sit down, and then quietly went to the back, but did not look for a book to read, but listened to the two of them quietly.

Lu Mian didn't mention a word about the second room, only said that Lin Jinrong had just taken over the affairs of the warehouse, and he was worried, he didn't know the origin and preciousness of the things he was in charge of, and he wanted to ask Fan Bao for advice.

Fan Bao really picked up the most important things and said them, Lin Jinrong wrote them down one by one without mentioning them, and in an instant, Lu Mian mentioned Meng Pozi: "I can speak well, and I look extremely capable, but I seem to be too lively." Fan Bao got to this point, how old he was, he knew that Lu Lu was here to remove obstacles for Lin Jinrong and help Lin Jinrong gain a firm foothold. What's more, the old lady didn't know about the good thing that Mrs. Meng did, and sooner or later she had to do it, so she said: "This person is indeed very capable, but I'm afraid that I won't accept the discipline of the second grandmother." If she could, she should be given another suitable position. But the person who takes over is also crucial, and if it doesn't work, it will be chaotic. ，…

In other words, Meng Pozi can't move easily, and must find a way to get both. Seeing that he was confessing, Lu Lu said: "It's not right away, now I just want to know some things about her first, so that I can have a response." ”

Fan Bao said, "Got it." When the inquiry is good, the 1st child will ask someone to talk to the second grandmother. When Lu Xuan's goal was achieved, he no longer kept him and personally sent him to the door.

Fan Bao held the umbrella alone, slowly walked out of the Tingxue Pavilion, turned three times and two times, and turned into the Juxian Pavilion. Old lady Lu hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was looking at the big accounts of the family's business under the lamp, and when she saw him come in, she didn't say much, just pointed to the teapot on the side.

Fan Bao hurriedly poured a thick cup of tea for him: "1 little one just came from Tingxue Pavilion." The second master and the second grandmother asked a few words. ”

Old Lady Lu suddenly became a little interested, and raised her eyebrows to look at him: "Oh? That's a rarity. What are you asking? Fan Bao told the incident with a smile and concluded: "It's good to look at them, and the second grandmother is also quite kind." ”

Old Lady Lu thought for a moment and said, "Just do what they say." Don't make it too obvious. "Yes." Fan Bao was not surprised that he would have such a reaction, since the old lady planned to hand over the family business to Lu Xuan, this was the inevitable process. But many things are not easy for the old lady to do by himself, he can only rely on Lu Lu and Lin Jinrong to do it by himself, some things can not be kept by others, you must rob them yourself, and learn how to protect and keep them in the process of robbing.

The moment Fan Bao withdrew, he heard Old Lady Lu say in a very low voice: "They have all grown up." There was a little relief in his voice, but there was also a little sadness.
