But at this time, just in the evening, the warm breeze is blowing, the spring is bright, there are all kinds of paper kites floating in the sky, the willow trees beside the road are gently fluttering willow branches in the spring breeze, the green buds of the branches are full of shimmering light, the mother-in-law who sells tea under the tree is knocking on the ringing lamp, the merchant carrying the burden is shaking the merchant drum, the children are laughing, the pedestrians on the street, 1 hawker, and the dog lying on the ground basking in the sun go back and forth, chasing each other.

When you see something delicious, you stop and drool, when you see something beautiful, you stop and look at it stupidly, you laugh when you're happy, cry when you're unhappy, you don't care where you are, rolling around, crying mud and tears on your face are also common.

It is a lively and lively spring beauty.

On the second day of the first month of March, just after noon, the men, women and young masters of the Lu family boarded their cars and rode horses one after another, and went to the old house in the countryside to celebrate the festival.

The Lu family's old house is said to be in the countryside, but it is actually in a small town called Chishui, sixty miles away from Pingzhou City. The town is not big, but there are more than 100 households, most of them still surnamed Lu, scattered on both sides of a few small streets that can be seen at a glance. The streets are made of rammed earth, and when it rains and snows, the sewage flows sideways, and the mud is unbearable.

But at this time, just in the evening, the warm breeze is blowing, the spring is bright, there are all kinds of paper kites floating in the sky, the willow trees beside the road are gently fluttering willow branches in the spring breeze, the green buds of the branches are full of shimmering light, the mother-in-law who sells tea under the tree is knocking on the ringing lamp, the merchant carrying the burden is shaking the merchant drum, the children are laughing, the pedestrians on the street, 1 hawker, and the dog lying on the ground basking in the sun go back and forth, chasing each other. When you see something delicious, you stop and drool, when you see something beautiful, you stop and look at it stupidly, you laugh when you're happy, cry when you're unhappy, you don't care where you are, rolling around, crying mud and tears on your face are also common. It is a lively and lively spring beauty.

As soon as the carriage of the Lu family appeared on the street, there were sharp-eyed children laughing and laughing at you pushing me, I pushed you and dragged your neck long, standing on tiptoe on the side of the street to watch the excitement, and the dogs also joined in the fun, chasing the carriage and barking endlessly. The adults heard the commotion and had to come out to see it.

Mrs. Lu didn't take the shelf, ordered someone to stop the car, went down and took the candy that had been prepared from Fan Bao's hand, handed it to the children closest to him, and asked them cordially, of course the children were timid, and they dispersed in a hurry after receiving the candy, but he was not angry, and greeted the people he knew on the street with a smile.

When he got out of the car, the second master of Lu, the third master of Lu and other men naturally did not want to stay on the horse or the car, so they got off the carriage and followed him respectfully, with smiles on their faces, and talked cordially with the clansmen and neighbors, without any shelf. Intentionally or unintentionally, Mrs. Lu took Lu Mian with her and solemnly introduced him, the most proud grandson.

Everyone is full of an inexplicable awe of people who know words and have meritorious reputations, especially the move of Lu Mian, which was grandly launched by Mrs. Lu, so they are extremely enthusiastic. was so enthusiastic that Lu Lu couldn't resist it, and asked Mrs. Lu for help several times in embarrassment, but Mrs. Lu just smiled, pretending not to understand what he meant.

Lin Jinrong looked out through the pale cyan screen, in a group of people, Lu Lu's tall and thin man was particularly conspicuous, he was struggling to maintain his demeanor and calmness, but his ears were red, and his smile was a little stiff.

Lu Yun laughed in a low voice: "Second brother is embarrassed. Lin Yuzhen said lightly: "What's embarrassing?" How many people want to do this and still can't get it? With a little sarcasm, he looked at Lu Shao beside Lu Mian, "Look at your eldest brother, he wants it so much, but unfortunately, he is also that fate."

Lu Yun glanced at Lin Jinrong, who had already withdrawn his gaze and sat quietly, as if he hadn't heard what Lin Yuzhen said just now. Lu Yun couldn't help but think that since Lin Jinrong entered the door, he had never said a bad word about anyone in front of them, and when he heard them say whom, he basically pretended not to hear it, and occasionally spoke, but only lightly persuaded him, and if he couldn't persuade him, he wouldn't persuade him.

It would be fine if Lin Jinrong had been an honest person from beginning to end, but Lin Jinrong was not, but he was just pretending to be high, but in fact, there was a bad heart hidden under the beautiful and harmless skin. Thinking of this, Lu Yun felt very uncomfortable, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?" "I'm thinking, this place is very nice, I don't know what the old mansion looks like." Lin Jinrong raised his eyes to look at Lu Yun and smiled faintly.

She hated this place. She was not able to return to the old mansion the year she first entered the door, but after giving birth to Ning Er, that is, when she was seventeen years old, Mrs. Lu arranged for the whole family to go back to the old mansion. At that time, Mrs. Lu solemnly took Ning'er, who was still in infancy, to the Lu family ancestral hall, and after worshipping her ancestors, she personally wrote Ning'er's name on the family tree.

Since then, she has only been back to the old mansion twice, once in the second year after Ning'er's death, when Lu Mian passed the exam, the whole family came back to worship her ancestors, and the other time was when Old Lady Lu died and was buried.

But no matter which time, she had never seen such a lively and relaxed scene, nor had she ever seen such a shy and uncomfortable Lu Xuan. All she saw was that she and Wu Xiang secretly did not give in to each other, always wanted to be better than others no matter what they did, desperately wanted to prove that they were not worse than others, taciturn, indifferent, and behaved freely.

Lin Jinrong raised his head and looked out again, the noisy crowd in front of him finally dispersed, Lu Mian was looking in her direction, he seemed to know that she was looking at him, and smiled at her invisibly, and before the smile was put away, he was hugged by Lu Shao on his shoulder.

The carriage moved forward again, stopping at the end of the largest street in town. Standing at the brightly painted gate stood a group of men, old and young, some wearing long pleated robes, some even wearing short clothes and shoes. Old lady Lu ordered someone to stop the car again, led the men to greet them, entered the gate together, and went straight to the middle hall to have a feast and talk.

The women and children's cars drove in through the side door in an orderly manner, and quietly entered the second door.

After getting out of the car, they went to the huā hall to eat, and a group of people were busy with everything else, and arranged the old lady Lu properly, before they dispersed, and were led by the servants to their respective rooms and courtyards to rest.

The old house has been around for some years, and it has not been occupied for a long time, and it always has a damp musty smell. The thick stone walls were high and cold, covered with moss, and the courtyard was so narrow that daylight only shone in at noon, and more often than not, it was cold and soaked, even on dog days, and there was no single clothes in this room.

Although she had only been here a few times, Lin Jinrong had never liked this place, let alone the courtyard that had been given to her many times. There is not a single tree in the courtyard, let alone huā, the ground is full of bluestone slabs glowing with cold light, standing in the middle of the courtyard, looking up at the sky, can only see a very small piece, oppressive so that people can't breathe.

The room is even more uncomfortable, with only two and a half cabinets and a couch, a table, and a few stools in the outer room, and only a bed and a photo table in the inside. Narrowness is secondary, the most important point is that the light is very dim, the windows on the outside are very narrow, and the inside is completely windowless, no light, no ventilation, and even the daylight needs a palm light to see clearly.

Lin Jinrong came here three times, the first time the scenery was infinite, the second time was tragic and poignant, and the third time was insensitive. Without Ning'er, then this will be the first time in the three times, and the scenery is infinite. Lin Jinrong stood under the porch, looking up at the palm-sized sky above his head, gradually darkening and thickening, hating this place from the bottom of his heart.

Lychee led Dou'er to lay out Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan's utensils in the room, and looked up with suspicion from time to time at Lin Jinrong, who was standing motionless outside the door. After watching it a few times, she couldn't help it, and told Dou'er to clean it up, she went out by herself, stood beside Lin Jinrong and said, "What is grandma looking at?" ”

Lin Jinrong looked back at her, his eyes were cold: "I didn't see anything." ”

Lychee didn't dare to ask more, but smiled: "After sitting in the car for a long time, isn't grandma tired?" The back room has been cleaned up, grandma might as well go wash and lie down to rest. Presumably, the second master must be drinking tonight, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, so you won't be able to sleep well, and you will have to get up early tomorrow morning. I heard that there is a section of the road where the carriages and horses can't cross, you have to walk over, and you have to rest to have your spirits. ”

Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and dragged his steps inside. After washing, he sat on the couch for a long time, and then went into the back room, smelling the musty smell of his nose and looking at the top of the tent.

The wick exploded, and a low voice from Lychee came from outside: "Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time, and she can't hold it anymore before she goes in to sleep." The second master wants to decant the soup? "It's okay, I'm not drunk. Second master, how can I get drunk so easily? Lu Mian's voice was a little cheerful, "Fetch water, I'll wash it." Lin Jinrong closed his eyes.

It didn't take long for the door to be pushed open, Lu Mian came in with a faint smell of wine, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, took off his shoes and robe, put his hand on Lin Jinrong's shoulder, and kissed her on the cheek without saying anything, and laughed in a low voice: "Ah Rong, don't pretend to be asleep, I know you have been waiting for me." ”

Lin Jinrong was speechless, opened his eyes and looked at him: "Dispersed so early? ”

"Grandfather said that he was going to the grave tomorrow, and everyone went to bed early, so they dispersed." Lu Lu raised his body and extinguished the light in one go, lay down next to her, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said with some hesitation: "Ah Rong, are you okay?" Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment and said, "Okay." But don't you have to get up early tomorrow to worship your ancestors? Lu Lu gently pressed his forehead against her back: "Ah Rong? ”

"Huh?" Lin Jinrong felt that he was a little different tonight than usual, but he didn't understand why he was like this.

Lu Mian silently turned her over to face him. Although it was dark and dark in the room, Lin Jinrong knew that he was watching her. He was getting closer and closer to her, and she could feel the sound of his rapid breathing blowing on her face, making the hairs stand on end all over her body, and her heart clenched tightly, not knowing where to put it.

"Ah Rong, when I go back from here, I'm going to Mr. Zhu. Would you like to spend more time here? My grandfather said that if we didn't want to go back with them, we could stay here until the tenth day of the new year. I think it's good. His hand slid gently into her shirt and took her earlobe.

"..............." Lin Jinrong wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
