Chapter 214: Tea

Lychee thought for a while and said, "Grandma didn't say anything, she just couldn't eat or sleep." "She's a slave and can't say a lot, but to the best of her ability, she's never going to be dumb.
Lu Xuan's slender fingers slid over the spine of the book, and then again, and just when Lychee thought he was going to ask something again, he waved his hand at her and motioned for her to go down.
Lychee couldn't figure out what he was thinking, stood for a moment, and quietly retreated.
When I got outside, I found Mama Gui, first discussed with Mama Gui what to cook for Lin Jinrong at night, and then called Mrs. Zhang and the two rough girls who were responsible for sweeping the yard over, and asked them to stand in a row under the porch, and whispered: "Don't wander around, don't talk nonsense, don't follow the rules, once you sit down, you will drive grandma out." After the people were dismissed, Lu Lu came out of the house, didn't look at them, and went into the study and closed the door tightly. So everyone held their breath and did not dare to make any extra noise.
For the first time in so many years, Lin Jinrong had such a comprehensive look at the Lu family's treasury. The road is dazzling, and it is not an exaggeration to pile up warehouses, flashing longan and cherry eyes, although she has not, but she can't help but be surprised.
Song took a little pride and introduced them to her one by one: "The treasury is two locks, one you hold, one is held by the Meng family, and there are four locks in each warehouse, in addition to you and the Meng family, the other two are held by the person in charge of the small warehouse, and one is indispensable." Everything is arranged in a small order and the place where it is stored is not allowed to be easily changed, as long as you take the account book and look at it, it is clear at a glance.
Every quarter, each house and courtyard has to change the furnishings, and when you want to get something, you have to take the things of the previous season to exchange, and if you have a defect, you have to take the money out of your own money to subsidize and compensate. Every month and the people at the bottom of the monthly account, quarterly inventory, every six months, to save the medicinal materials, cloth and other easily damaged inventory to deal with, to avoid unnecessary waste. As for the safety affairs such as inspecting the warehouse, fire prevention and theft prevention, it is up to you to make it convenient for you, as a rule, there are people on duty day and night. ”
After the Song family finished explaining, he ordered the people in charge of the small treasury to come forward and show Lin Jinrong and introduce them one by one. Lin Jinrong gave Cherry a look, and Cherry received it, and wrote down these people one by one, especially remembering the few who ran to find Tu's on their backs yesterday.
Time flies when there are things to do, and soon it was evening, Song covered his mouth tiredly and yawned, Lin Jinrong knew the opportunity, and said with a smile: "Auntie is tired, let's continue to watch tomorrow?" Song said casually: "Otherwise, let people open other warehouses, and you continue to watch?" Let's continue to do it tomorrow. ”
Lin Jinrong shook his head: "I'm also a little tired, so many things, my eyes are looking at huā." The Song family no longer reluctantly said hello to Mama Sha and left on his own. Lin Jinrong didn't leave immediately, walked around the warehouse, and carefully looked at the shape of the warehouse, this house was specially built to hold things, the space is very high, stone walls, iron gates, only near the roof There are a few windows for ventilation and lighting, in addition to the normal windows, but also with wrought iron cast fences. The temperature inside is neither hot nor cold, and it is a good storeroom.
Lin Jinrong's eyes fell on the big locks, and secretly thought that a few people in charge of the keys in a library door were indispensable, and it seemed that the precautions were very strict, but he couldn't help but be complicit in the complicity of the people below. If she can't control these people, there will be a problem with this storehouse.
Mrs. Meng gave a few cronies a look and said with a smile: "Grandma, a few of us have a table and want to catch the wind for grandma, I don't know if grandma will appreciate her face?" Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "It won't work today, I have something." "Regardless of whether or not they really got together to prepare this table, she couldn't eat and drink with them. First, the Song family has not yet been handed over, and secondly, the Tu family is still lying down, and she can only eat this meal if she lacks heart and lungs.
Mrs. Meng was crooked: "Grandma, do you want to appreciate your face, we knew that grandma was coming here at noon, so we got together and asked people to go to the first-class banquet booked in Wuzhanglou to pick up grandma." With her taking the lead, everyone persuaded each other and was full of enthusiasm.
Seeing that Lin Jinrong just refused, Meng Pozi and the others squeezed each other's eyes behind their backs, look, they knew that she wouldn't eat, but they also said hypocritically: "Then what about this table?" We really want to honor grandma, but grandma doesn't appreciate face. ”
Lin Jinrong glanced at Mama Sha with a smile and pushed her out: "Mama Umbrella Day has been running with us for half a day, and it has been very hard, you greet her for me, you are honoring me." I'll give you two jars of good wine, but don't get drunk and miss the errand. Mama Sha smiled and said: "It's rare to have the opportunity to be with you, maybe I haven't eaten the first-class noodles of this five-zhang building for a long time, and I am stained with the light of the second grandmother today." Mrs. Meng gritted her teeth, stepped forward and hugged Mama Sha affectionately: "We are also stained with the light of the second grandmother, otherwise where can we get the red man in front of the old lady?" ”
Lin Jinrong waited for them to finish making love before saying that they were leaving, and everyone lined up to send her out, Lin Jinrong squinted and saw a cat food bowl in the corner of the wall, but it was clean, and there was no food at all, so he said, "But you fed the cat?" "It's common for the cats to be fed in the storeroom, but if someone who has never been in charge can remember it, it means that she is at least not ignorant. Meng Pozi hurriedly said: "Feeded, fed three or four, all of them are tabby cats." Before the words fell, I saw a mother-in-law next to me answer: "I just don't dare to feed them, I'm afraid that they will be lazy and don't move when they are full." ”
Since she came here, Lin Jinrong has never seen anyone dare to pick up Mrs. Meng's words without authorization, and after hearing this sentence at this time, she couldn't help but look at that person carefully. But I saw that it was a woman in her forties, wearing a purple shirt and a green skirt, and when she saw her, she looked at her with a smile. Lin Jinrong remembered this person, this person's husband's surname was Hu, known as the Hu family, and he had a son, who followed Fan Bao, and was also one of the housekeepers and grandmothers with a small face. smiled at the Hu family in a friendly manner and left on his own.
Back in the room, Lychee greeted him and pointed to Lu Xuan's study: "The second master is inside." Grandma is still going well? Lin Jinrong said: "It's okay." Did I ask you to send the pear huā paste that you gave to Fangzhu? "Song has just carefully planned... Tu's accident, how could he do anything about the handover at such a time?
Lychee said: "I sent it, and the slave maid added two hundred dollars to her own house, saying that it was rewarded by the second master and grandmother, and the second master was also there at the time, so he didn't speak." ”
Lin Jinrong laughed: "You did a good job." In fact, she indirectly told the old lady that Fangzhu was very wronged, and she would not deliberately avoid expressing her comfort to Fangzhu in public.
Lychee smiled and whispered: "Grandma has suffered a loss, although Fangzhu is not our person, but her slap is also for grandma, for those who have been wronged, of course, they have to be rewarded to show that the master is benevolent." She told Dou'er that she was going to kowtow to the second master and grandma, but I said no, let her come back tomorrow morning. She deliberately took the medicine in front of Lu Mian, and offered to reward the two hundred dollars on her own initiative, which was also a test of Lu Mian's attitude. And Lu Mian's acquiescence actually represents one of his meanings from the side, thinking that Fangzhu has also suffered a loss.
The master and servant smiled.
Cherry has been following Lin Jinrong's side, and when she saw the two of them say this, she faintly felt a little different, but she couldn't figure it out, so she opened her eyes and said, "Grandma, Sister Lychee, what are you talking about?" ”
Lin Jinrong smiled and said nothing, and Lychee pinched her face: "Silly girl, the whole thing falls in your eyes, go down and think about it slowly, and then ask me if you figure it out." If you figure it out, you will waste less saliva when chatting with people in the future. Lin Jinrong instructed her: "If you don't understand, go outside and go around and chatter with people." Cherry liked this the most, and she packed a bag of candy and went out for a while.
Lin Jinrong was waited by Lychee and Longan to take the hairpin ring, changed into a homely half-used dress, washed his face and hands, took a pot of chrysanthemum huā tea handed by Mama Gui, and walked towards Lu Mian's study.
When she arrived at the door of the study, the door opened, Lu Lu stood at the door and looked at her, reached out to take the teapot in her hand, turned around and entered the house silently. Lin Jinrong turned around and glanced at Lychee, and followed him in. As soon as his eyes swept over the desk, he saw an open post, a half-written post, and knew that he was on the post.
Lu Lu lowered his eyes, took two teacups, scalded the cups, filled them with tea, took a cup and handed it to Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong took it, sat down at the tea table, and didn't speak, it was up to him what he wanted to say.
Lu Mian took a big sip of tea before raising his eyes to look at her: "Is the handover smooth?" Lin Jinrong said: "It's okay, Mrs. Meng brought a group of people and had to invite me to dinner." Lu Lu said: "Find an opportunity to change people, otherwise you can't manage this warehouse, as long as the reason is sufficient, grandfather and grandmother will not have an opinion." ”
Lin Jinrong didn't hide it from him: "This is a must." ,…
Lu Lu said: "Mrs. Meng's eldest son has been following his second uncle to do things outside, and he is very dependent. The second son has been with the lobby brother since he was a child, and I haven't heard how capable he is, but he often takes it with him. If you want to clean her up, you have to do it right and do it right the first time. Lin Jinrong knew all these things, and only nodded slightly.
Neither of them spoke, concentrating on their tea. Lin Jinrong drank in small sips, Lu Mian drank in large gulps, and in a blink of an eye, Lu Mian finished drinking a cup, reaching out to get the teapot, Lin Jinrong was quick and quick, filled a cup for him, Lu Mian drank it in two sips, Lin Jinrong filled a cup for him, and so on repeatedly, Lu Mian filled a stomach full of tea, couldn't drink it anymore, looked at the floor and said, "Would you like to accompany me to see her?" Lin Jinrong propped his chin and said, "I don't know if my mother has been there?" ”
